Fatima Lopes Be Mine ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 22 March 2013 6 Comments

Fatima Lopes Be Mine advert

Portuguese fashion designer Fátima Lopes will launch her debut fragrance, Be Mine, in September.

Be mine is the perfume of an avant-garde woman:
What you notice is her personality above anything else. She is afraid of nothing, life is her playing field, and the world is at her feet. She wears Be mine, the fragrance of irresistible possessiveness. We all definitely want it. Carnal and animal-like, it marks a paroxysmal femininity.
It is a well-deconstructed construction, where classicism is forgotten in favour of more modern pulsations on a warm skin. The sound backbone of the fragrance is the dry power of Virginia cedar. Its muffled intensity gives the juice a strong personality. Around the cedar, you can smell the vibrant and radiant frangipani flower, both solar and sensitive. A crushed blackberry, without any sugary note left, only keeps a haunting sweetness, intriguing and dark. The voluptuous vanilla absolute unfolds its inimitable spicy and warm sensuality. The warm and amber-like accents of benzoin from Laos will seal your addiction. Be mine is an intensely elegant, subversive and sensual perfume. A highly ambivalent fragrance, with contrasting areas of light and dark. An imperative and fantasised [sic] femininity, contrasted and paradoxical.

Be Mine was developed by perfumer Aurélien Guichard.

Fátima Lopes Be Mine will be available in 50 and 100 ml, concentration unknown.

    I do not know who wrote that for Fatima, but they need punishment 🙂

      I’m sure it’s better in the original, which was presumably Portuguese, but hard to believe it’s not at least slightly ridiculous even then.

      I COULD get paid for writing that stuff… fun fun fun! Paroxysmal femininity? Orgiastic orgasmic olfactive eau de Oh!

      Except that someone has a very low opinion of women (or men) if they believe that is advertising copy.
