Parure by Guerlain: launched in 1975. Created by Jean-Paul Guerlain with his mother in mind. It is a luxurious fragrance that evoked the richness and brilliance of the most precious jewels. Parure means a matching set - earrings and necklace.
"But consider it as you would a diamond. Peer deep within. You will discover an inner fire, burning with promise like the rising sun. You don't just dab on a perfume like Parure. You wear it body and soul. Parure By Guerlain." (1976)
"New fragrance from France in the air this spring, Parure the perfume, like parure, a set of jewelry, is designed to enhance. This fresh fragrance, laced with lilacs and cypress, vetiver and amber, was created by Guerlain, who has given us so many memorable perfumes over the years." (1975)
"Very roughly translated "ornament" or "adornment," "Parure" from Guerlain, Inc., New York, is said to evoke the season of lilacs and plums, to be lingering, opulent and stunning. One- ounce of perfume sells for $40.00, 1/2 ounce for $22.00." (1976)
So what does it smell like? It is classified as an aldehyde chypre fragrance for women.
