Bésame Cosmetics Decades of Fragrance - 1920

The result of six years of painstaking research, Bésame Cosmetics’ Decades of Fragrance collection evokes the ‘essence’ of the ages – from the playful decadence of the 1920s to the elegant sophistication of the ‘50s ‘new look’ – these scents are olfactory time capsules; chic (and convenient) vials of precious perfume that encourage you to channel the fabulous flappers, film’s femme fatales of the doe-eyed bombshells of the 1960s. Just choose the ‘spirit’ of your favourite age, or mix and match to suit your mood (and outfit).

Inspired by the decadence of the Jazz Age, Bésame’s ‘1920’ will bring your inner Zelda (Fitzgerald), Tallulah (Bankhead) or Nancy (Mitford) to the fore. The ultimate olfactory accompaniment to a fringed ‘flapper’ dress or Les Garçonnes ensemble, this floral, resinous musk is the perfume for mischief-makers; laced with the spirit of scandal and scent of adventure. Sparkling top notes of mandarin, juniper berry and galbanum dazzle above a heart of jasmine, violet, muguet and suede. The lingering base of cocoa, myrrh, amber and musk then leaves the air ‘kissed’ with its sultry smoulder – it’s the perfect perfume for a Gatsby-worthy party (and a soundtrack of popping champagne corks).

Apply to pulse points whenever you need to enhance your allure.
