Jovoy Paris - Rouge Assasin
Paris in the Roaring Twenties…
Two types of women from the Twenties mingle in the same space without ever really meeting:
One is “la maitresse de ces messieurs”, a mistress in the tradition of the Second Empire (such chic kept women were among Jovoy’s first clients) and the “garçonne”, a term for the emancipated woman, whose look may have been androgynous at times, but who Rouge Assassin pays tribute to those fearless, unstoppable women who upended the established order and broke all the rules. While the garçonne look is sometimes considered masculine, femininity is what came through in the way women wore their hair and makeup, in their attitudes, their hunger for freedom and the insatiable desire to love without regard for social codes and conventions. was the first in the history of women’s fashion to reveal her legs. Soon, brassieres would replace corsets. Thick stockings vanished in favor of silk ones worn rolled over a garter above the knee. It was at this time that the first lipsticks appeared. Thanks to the collaboration of perfumer Amélie Bourgeois (Flair), Rouge Assassin is an homage to femininity that blends lipstick notes (iris butter), with the scent of skin (rice bran, musk, powdery floral accords) and echoes of Parisian cabarets. Men who wear it are either incurable risk-takers or they are Machiavellian schemers: “I present to you a bewitching trail of lipstick, skin and flowers that will titillate men and exasperate women – but always in their best interest.”

Are you a lover of powdery fragrances? Then this fragrance should not be missing in your collection. Rose with rice powder and ambrette are so amazing together. Many other notes make this perfume dreamy and warm. Sandalwood gives this fragrance a creamy and warm touch. Very extravagant. A very intimate fragrance. Great on men and women.
