"Revealing the invisible, evocative of the unspeakable, it is the caress of a compliment, the interpreter of a palpable aura. It defends the singular beauty, the one that is grasped when one feels more than one observes. Orchestra of attraction, ode to sweetness, it exacerbates any form of femininity. It is a pastel glow piercing the opaline veil of the clouds. If beauty has the advantage of being memorable, its perfume has the elegance of being unforgettable. Tanagra, subtle expression of eternal delicacy.Tanagra is a perfume woven directly onto the skin. A powdery silk fabric marrying the most subtle lines, a musky cashmere caressing the sweetest curves. The body then becomes a haunting dance where every movement exalts this invisible envelope. Its wake, delicately floral, is sublimated by the beauty of the rose, the purity of the freesia and the grace of the iris. Violet wishes to be an actor concerned with it's time and stakes. This is why Tanagra is committed and defends women by donating 20% of the profits to the association Solidarité Femmes.Drawing its name from the small statuettes of ancient Greece illustrating the feminine beauty, Tanagra was originally published in 1922. On its original bottle, imagined by Lucien Gaillard, the stopper was shaped like a tanagra statue." - a note from the brand.
