Alaïa Nude

Through it, the challenge was both to offer an accessible and highly publicized perfume, while ensuring a certain consistency with the world of the house. The perfume Alaia then emerged as a great classic, at once timeless and daring, following the fashion of its era while drawing mainly on the inspiration of its creator. Alaia is, in a way, the portrait of a woman as seen through the eyes of Azzedine Alaia. Today, this woman reveals a new facet of her personality. Focus on Alaia Nude.

The personal world of Azzedine Alaia

Alaia Nude carries a vision identical to that of its predecessor. Indeed, it offers a very personal vision of fashion and femininity according to Azzedine Alaia. Through it, the creator wished to create a timeless juice. My perfume is not reasonable, it makes time lie, he used to say. My perfume comes from far away, it is a source perfume. It bears witness to no particular era, but to the emotions of every era, it comes from no country because it has crossed them all, it reveals no season, since it inhabits them all. The message is very clear, Azzedine Alaia fully intends to make Alaia Nude a great classic of perfumery that will still be spoken of decades from now.

The couture spirit of the perfume Alaia Nude

In perfect harmony with the idea one has of the house Azzedine Alaia, the perfume Alaia Nude carries a very couture spirit. Every detail of its appearance has been particularly cared for, as its elegant bottle attests. It is a rectangular bottle of heavy, intricately sculpted glass. Its translucent body has now traded its former black hue for a softer, more feminine powdery pink. Its front face, meanwhile, is decorated with an emblematic motif of the house, which first appeared on a leather corset from the 1980s. Finally, crowning this bottle, a cap pays tribute to the work of Azzedine Alaia as a couture craftsman. It takes the form of a spool of shimmering gold thread that seems to rise skyward.

Alaia Nude, a highly contrasted fragrant composition

From then on, an irresistible urge takes hold to remove its cap and discover its scent. Azzedine Alaia plays on the contrast between the woody impertinence of women and their lighter, more floral femininity. Alaia Nude is dominated by a floral heart from which emerges a luminous, Mediterranean orange blossom. Iris reinforces its powdery elegance, while other ingredients accentuate its softness. The tenderness of Alaia Nude comes through notably in a blend of cashmere wood, suede, and tonka bean. Cedar gives it more character. Finally, all its animalic quality resurfaces from a duo of musk and leather.
