1986 Eclectique Eau de Parfum

The romantic contradiction of Paris is the push and pull between timelessness and trendiness, and in 1986, that beautiful contrast is perhaps nowhere more apparent than the stone-hewn entrance to Les Bains Guerbois, where Paris's hottest nightclub is always in full swing. Leather jackets, double-breasted suits, ripped jeans and endless necklines stir and cluster, awaiting entry to fashion's promised land, an exhilarating and endlessly diverse crowd of the most desirable people in the most desirable city in the universe.

1986 Eclectique captures the sheer, breathless energy of being plucked from the hopefuls in front of the velvet rope and ushered into the promised land. The mingling of electric spices against sweet, apricot-infused honey. The almost illicitly herbaceous buzz of clary sage with sweet, smoky tobacco and rich, resinous musk. The fragrance vibrates with pure, unadulterated cool, growing more and more potent as the thrilling opening gives way to the warm sensuality of the long-lasting base notes, which promise to stay glowing long after the rising sun has sent the Parisian faithful home to a much-delayed bedtime. The hottest door in the world is yours for the taking- it's all about what you're wearing.
