Fragrance Family: Earthy & Woody
Scent Type: Citrus & Woods
Key Notes: Fresh Lemon, Concrete, Leather
Fragrance Description: A silky-smooth citrus scent with elements of concrete and ink; it’s cold, light, and fresh. L’air Barbès is a tribute to Paris, capital de la mode, evocative of Paris’s different personas, including the concrete alleyways and le banlieue.
About the Bottle: The name, L'air Barbès, comes from Barbès-Rochechouart, a metro station in Paris, while the blue color represents concrete and steel. The different colors on the 19-69 bottles symbolize a rainbow, which in 1969 stood for peace and freedom.
About the Fragrance:
"I was in my teens when I first discovered Helmut Newton’s picture that made YSL’s Le Smoking iconic. The genderlessness really made a big impression on me. With stark monochrome simplicity, Newton created a piece of iconography I still find myself influenced by. In the making of L’air Barbès, I was strongly influenced by the androgyny in this picture. The perfume is also a tribute to Paris, capital de la mode, and evocative of the city’s different personas: the concrete alleyways, le banlieue, and the area Barbès-Rochechouart."
—Johan Bergelin, Sweden, founder and perfumer of 19-69
