Les Bains Guerbois 1978 Les Bains Douches

In 1978 the old bathhouse became Les Bains Douches, the nightclub people called the Studio 54 of Paris. Basquiat, Warhol, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld all passed through. This one is a night downstairs at the bar: a Negroni for her, a whisky for him, tobacco smoke and a dance floor that never empties. Boozy and gourmand, built around whisky and cognac. Yuzu and davana keep the opening bright and a bit electric, then rose, heliotrope and blond tobacco come in, slightly powdery. Atlas cedar, myrrh and vanilla take it home. Warm, sensual and very after-midnight. Eau de parfum by Bertrand Duchaufour for the Une Date, Une Histoire collection.
