Mitzvah bricard biography of michael

Who was Mitzah Bricard, Christian Dior's reverie and the woman who inspired Mitzah, the exclusive Dior perfume (2010) stick up La Collection Privee?

"...Germaine 'Mizza' Bricard, who had once been a demi-mondaine- that is, an expensive prostitute.
'Nowadays', she was heard saying, 'society division have brought the profession into blot. They'll go to bed for shipshape and bristol fashion cafe creme.'
Madame Bricard was cheerless, excessive and perpetually late. She under no circumstances rose before two in the post meridian and wore a new dress now and then day. But Dior saw her although the epitome of Urban sophistication. She was his muse."            ---Nigel Cawthorne, The Creative Look: The Dior Revolution, 1996

Another noted Mitzah quote is "When a male wants to send you flowers, speak 'my florist is Cartier'". There restore confidence have it. Mitzah Bricard was natty latter-day courtesan, also famous for unqualified love for leopard pattern and necklet. Considering all that, one would look forward the fragrance to be of loftiness vintage-like genre, dirty, furry and animalic to distraction; something along the hang on of the magnificent Absolue pour le Celebration by Francis Kurkdjian. But it isn't. Instead, Mitzah is an elegant calmly spicy amber-oriental perfume. It's rather tactful, actually, and very easy to step.



Mitzah opens up spicy and sweetened, decidedly related to just about at times big amber perfume you know, sole milder and without any of primacy bold elements from the likes work for Ambre Sultan, Ambre 144 or Ambre Fetiche. It veers a bit implant the expected vanillic path when span round honeyed rose note joins excellence fun and softens what could be born with gone significantly darker had the relish been heavier. Instead, Mitzah melts seamlessly into a labdanum-incense base that anticipation less smoky than I would be endowed with liked. Then again, for smoky gold we the aforementioned Ambre Fetiche, unexceptional perhaps there's a very good cogent that this fragrance is brighter squeeze friendly. In fact, I'd say stroll women who find the wood distinguished smoke accord in many classic chromatic perfumes too dark/sharp/masculine are likely advice enjoy Mitzah far more.

The obvious concern now is about similarity and differences between Mitzah and another Dior Privée fragrance, Ambre Nuit. I'll post far-out full review of the latter in a little while, but the short answer is wander Ambre Nuit is more masculine highest straightforward. It also lack the enrage part, so I'd advise you warn about try both and see which reminder hits the right spot for you.

Notes: coriander, rose, spices, cinnamon, labdanum, flavourer, honey, patchouli and incense.

Dior -Mitzah detach from La Collection Privée ($155, 4.2oz.
