Le Bon Marché Saint Germain des Prés (2008) {New Perfume}

The at once venerable (est. 1852), upscale and trendy Parisian department store Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche introduced a signature perfume for women called Saint Germain des Prés EDP.

(If memory serves me well there is also a men's version spotted earlier this summer which is however not currently showcased on their new e-commerce site.)

"Saint Germain des Prés symbolizes this mix of simplicity and expressiveness which characterizes the woman who is curious of everything, sensitive to new trends."

"Saint Germain des Prés symbolise ce mélange de simplicité et d'expression qui caractérise la femme curieuse de tout, sensible aux nouvelles tendances."...

Saint Germain des Prés, named after a historic neighborhood of Paris which is found in the geographic continuity of Le Bon Marché but not exactly where this one is located, has notes of blackcurrant, peony, musks, spicy freesia, powdery iris, creamy jasmine, and sparkling lotus.

It is described as a fragrance that is "aesthetic, sensual and light". "It is a perfume that is conceived of like a modern architecture."

The eau de parfum retails 60 € for 100 ml.
