Boccaccio, G. (30 November 2009). Boccaccio's Expositions on Dante's Comedy. University of Toronto Press. Today I felt like wearing Minotaure by Paloma Picasso again This was one of the fragrances I owned at the very beginning of my "fragrance career". I think I remember that it was about 2-3 scents. Very clear compared to today :-D Paloma Picasso Minotaure is the only fragrance for men ever produced by Paloma Picasso as a homage to her father, Pablo. To be honest, I couldn't tell if it was a men's or a women's fragrance, because my good friend had got the miniature from his sister and I didn't know anything about fragrances yet. But I liked the scent very much, so I kept the bottle and smelled it only occasionally, because the scent made me in a good mood in quiet moments.

And got clairaudient. Michel Almairac? I think he's good! Sweet Oriental? Was he like that? Not least then FabianO's commentary on the animal impact. I didn't remember that at all. In short: There had to be a bottle again and fortunately I was able to buy a vintage version for a very reasonable price.Minotaure is not the only “marble scent”. Shortly after its release, Laura Biagiotti came out with “Roma Uomo”, and Nikos with “Sculpture Homme”. They all have this dry dustiness, and they all refer to the ancient world with their names. So, I think, maybe I am not the only one who gets these pictures. You can also describe the overall impression as dry and earthy – or better: like sand. Minotaure is an autumn scent, and also the musty smell of fallen leaves may remind you of it. As the name indicates, Minotaure is not a too artificial or elegant perfume – it is a white bull! I'd say that this earthy fragrance might mostly appeal to men who by themselves feel grounded and down-to-earth. Minotaure was the Terre d'Hermès of the 1990's. According to A.B. Cook, Minos and Minotaur were different forms of the same personage, representing the sun-god of the Cretans, who depicted the sun as a bull. He and J. G. Frazer both explain Pasiphaë's union with the bull as a sacred ceremony, at which the queen of Knossos was wedded to a bull-formed god, just as the wife of the Tyrant in Athens was wedded to Dionysus. E. Pottier, who does not dispute the historical personality of Minos, in view of the story of Phalaris, considers it probable that in Crete (where a bull cult may have existed by the side of that of the labrys) victims were tortured by being shut up in the belly of a red-hot brazen bull. The story of Talos, the Cretan man of brass, who heated himself red-hot and clasped strangers in his embrace as soon as they landed on the island, is probably of similar origin. The Minotaur is commonly represented in Classical art with the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull. According to Sophocles's Trachiniai, when the river spirit Achelous seduced Deianira, one of the guises he assumed was a man with the head of a bull. From classical antiquity through the Renaissance, the Minotaur appears at the center of many depictions of the Labyrinth. [15] Ovid's Latin account of the Minotaur, which did not describe which half was bull and which half man, was the most widely available during the Middle Ages, and several later versions show a man's head and torso on a bull's body – the reverse of the Classical configuration, reminiscent of a centaur. [16] This alternative tradition survived into the Renaissance, and is reflected in Dryden's elaborated translation of Virgil's description of the Minotaur in Book VI of the Aeneid: "The lower part a beast, a man above / The monument of their polluted love." [17] It still figures in some modern depictions, such as Steele Savage's illustrations for Edith Hamilton's Mythology (1942).

The fragrance portfolio of Paloma Picasso (whose daughter this is now, I certainly don't have to tell anyone, do I?) is quite clear and Minotaure should remain the only men's fragrance. It's actually a bit of a pity, because under this name beautiful and interesting fragrances were offered. And only the signature scent Paloma Picasso and Minotaure have made it up to the present day and are a bit of a stepchild a bit offside. Parkes, Oscar (1990).

The original from 1992 by Cosmair for Paloma Picasso is HEAVENLY! I wear it all the time and have hoarded bottles of it as a great favorite. It was made with actual sandalwood and does not degrade significantly over time. When L'Oreal later bought out Paloma Picasso's fragrance lines, they farmed out the manufacturing to a company called Luxury Products LLC, who then promptly reformulated by replacing the admittedly expensive and endangered sandalwood with cheap chemicals that break down over time. When fresh it does resemble the original version but it degrades to something like harsh alcohol water after a few years. This 1933 print from the Vollard Suite marks one of Picasso’s first uses of the minotaur. One of several sex scenes, it was created in his Boisgeloup studio, the woman his lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter. Monster love If the original version was a real daredevil, a wild bull, which trampled and snorted immediately and had a decent durability of at least 8 hours, together with a proper veil of scent, the bull, which had become a dear little ox, mooed up strongly at the beginning and then the strength left him quite fast. After 3-4 hours it has mooed and projection is only noticeable in the first half hour.

The Aeneid of Virgil, as translated by John Dryden, found at http://classics.mit.edu/Virgil/aeneid.6.vi.html . Virgil's text calls the Minotaur "biformis"; like Ovid, he does not describe which part is bull, which part man. The ships were 400 feet (121.9m) long between perpendiculars and 407 feet (124.1m) long overall. They had a beam of 58feet 6inches (17.8m) and a draft of 26feet 10inches (8.2m). [2] The Minotaur-class ships displaced 10,627 long tons (10,798t). [3] Their hull was subdivided by 15 watertight transverse bulkheads and had a double bottom underneath the engine and boiler rooms. [4] The contest between Theseus and the Minotaur was frequently represented in Greek art. A Knossian didrachm exhibits on one side the Labyrinth, on the other the Minotaur surrounded by a semicircle of small balls, probably intended for stars; one of the monster's names was Asterion or Asterius ("star").

After the start of the show, the flowers are primarily jasmine! In addition the geraniums join a little bit .... and that was it also for me, what however also completely enough I find! Unfortunately, the fragrance soon weakens a bit when "Dry", a combination of musk and sandalwood, is applied to the skin towards the end! Only if you smell it again you will discover the sweetish note of vanilla and tonka beans before the muscle power of the bull man starts to fade away!

ISBN 379132144-7. Giovanni Boccaccio writes of the Minotaur in his literary commentary of the Commedia: "When he had grown up and become a most ferocious animal, and of incredible strength, they tell that Minos had him shut up in a prison called the labyrinth, and that he had sent to him there all those whom he wanted to die a cruel death". [38] Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in his own commentary, [39] [40] compares the Minotaur with all three sins of violence within the seventh circle: "The Minotaur, who is situated at the rim of the tripartite circle, fed, according to the poem was biting himself (violence against one's body) and was conceived in the 'false cow' (violence against nature, daughter of God)." I remember their original ad campaign: When you bought it, they also gave you an unglazed perfumed red clay fragment that you could put in your drawer. The rough texture of this ancient looking shard fit perfectly with the character of Minotaure.
