PACO RABANNE CALANDRE FOR WOMEN (1969 VERSION) ORIGINAL PERFUME 7.5 ml 0.25 FL.OZ.

€690,00

It is the first women’s fragrance launched by PACO RABANNE PARFUMS S. A. PARIS.

 

 A LEGENDARY FRAGRANCE

 

Paco Rabanne drew inspiration for the fragrance’s name (Calandre) from the grille of a Rolls-Royce.

 

At the time, Paco Rabanne used metal in his fashion designs, and the Calandre fragrance reflected this.

 

Calandre is a floral fragrance combining rose, jasmine, green notes and Rabanne’s signature metallic note—a scent unlike any other: seductive, elegant and distinctive, as PACO RABANNE writes in the fragrance leaflet.

 

Silver metallic-colored box

 

The transparent glass bottle, with square metal edges at the top and bottom, was first galvanized and then plated—a dreamlike ensemble.

 

Round metal cap in silver.

 

The heavy transparent bottle was made by French craftsmen at Pochet du Courval, bearing the HP trademark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury fragrances.

 

The minimalist packaging and bottle (inspired by the façade of the United Nations building) were designed by the renowned designer Pierre Dinand.
