Maud Frizon by Maud Frizon c1985

Maud Frizon by Maud Frizon: launched in 1985. This was the first fragrance by shoe designer, known for her amusing creations. 





The perfume was available in three strengths: "Un peu" [a little], "Passionnement" [passionately] and "A la Folie" [to the point of madness]. These names are taken from the end of the French version of the ritual of plucking daisy petals to the tune of "he loves me, he loves me not."


Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? I have no notes on this composition.


Bottle:


Frizon herself, picked the fragrance, chose the names, and designed the hand-blown glass bottles. The perfume was priced at $200 an ounce. Each spherical, crystal flacon was hand blown in Venice and designed by Frizon to last as an objet d'art on the vanity table. The perfume was initially only available at select boutiques in New York and Bal Harbor, Fla.




Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, probably by 1990.
