L’Ame Slave Travel Set Spray
Woody Amber
The amber woody green fragrance opens with fresh, floral and citrus notes of Bergamot, Lemon and Syringa. These aromas give a first insight into the powerful and mysterious character of the Slavic Soul. Then appear warm and gourmet notes, more comforting and sensual. These are the aromas of Ginger, Cardamom, Honey and Vanilla. They form the heart of the perfume. Then come the base notes – Pu-erh tea, Sobacha, Cedar, Boulot, Oud and Sandalwood. These smoky and woody aromas evoke the steppes and forests of Siberia.

Woody Green Fragrance L’AME SLAVE (SLAVIC SOUL), by STATE OF MIND.

"Deep Blue expresses the essence of peacefulness”– V. Kandinsky
.
We can trace in the conception of the woody-green perfume L’AME SLAVE a parallel with the second concerto of Rachmaninoff. The first part of the concert, and therefore of the perfume, embodies the image of native places. It's beautiful and powerful with chords reminiscent of alarm bells. The fragrance opens with bright, floral and citrus notes of Bergamot, Lemon and Mock Orange.
.
The second part is lyrical with incredibly dreamy, calm and soft music. L’AME SLAVE continues its openness with delicate, gourmet nuances. These are the notes of Ginger, Honey and Vanilla. They symbolize the beauty of nature and its harmony.
.
The finale returns to the image of the first part and majestically affirms the triumph of good over evil. This part is colored with a joyful sound, it is a kind of enthusiastic hymn, glorifying the beauty and greatness of the SLAVE SOUL. In the fragrance, this effect is achieved through notes of Pu-erh tea, Buckwheat, Siberian Cedar, Birch and Sandalwood.
.
The colour of the bottle of L’AME SLAVE is cobalt blue. The one of three panslavic colours. It is also the colour of the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in St. Petersburg. Cobalt blue is present on the silk scarf and in the tea, which contains Cornflower.
.
L'AME SLAVE scarf is made of twill silk, known in English as Twill. It takes up the illustration L’AME SLAVE in the unstructured way of the Russian avant-garde. The drawing represents a dancer accompanied by a guitarist. It's a nod to the tradition of Russian and Gypsy cabarets in Paris.
.
The question arises why Catherine Laskine-Balandina gave the name L’AME SLAVE in French when other names are in English. The answer is simple: her character is bi-cultural and she can only balance herself by being a Frenchwoman with Slavic roots.
