Gerard Ghislain released the 15th volume in the Histoires de Parfums series, 1889 Moulin Rouge. This like the other entries in the series is meant to evoke a specific time and place namely the famous Parisian burlesque theatre where the cancan was born.
The note list for Moulin Rouge is mandarin, plum, cinnamon, absinthe, rose, iris, patchouli and musk.
While it isn’t explicitly stated I also think M. Ghislain was influenced by Baz Luhrman’s 2001 movie Moulin Rouge as when I smelled this; the mix of absinthe and musk brought to mind the courtesan played by Nicole Kidman, Satine. Moulin Rouge feels like something she would wear when she was at work. It is a nice entry into the Histoire de Parfums scented bibliography....
Enjoy The Moulin Rouge
