The house opened a boutique in \u003cstrong\u003eHavana\u003c\/strong\u003e, won over movie stars, created about fifteen fragrances—including a \u003cstrong\u003eChance long before Chanel\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a horseshoe-shaped bottle—and then \u003cstrong\u003edisappeared around 1966\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eLuc Gabriel\u003c\/strong\u003e, CEO of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Different Company\u003c\/strong\u003e, rediscovered it \u003cstrong\u003ein 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e in the perfume archives, bought back the name, and relaunched the house \u003cstrong\u003ein 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the spirit of \u003cstrong\u003eRoaring Twenties Art Deco\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The \u003cstrong\u003eclove\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon\u003c\/strong\u003e in the heart prevent the whole from turning into jam. The theme justifies it: this is not a fruity fragrance but a \u003cstrong\u003ebar\u003c\/strong\u003e, the kind from the 1920s when cocktails from the United States revived the Parisian nightlife—the setting of the pages of \u003cstrong\u003eAnaïs Nin and Henry Miller\u003c\/strong\u003e. In fact, the house describes the scene exactly like this: the glass arriving at the counter, then \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, animalic, vanilla-scented skin\u003c\/strong\u003e where a drop of patchouli is still diffusing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpicy, vanilla, and gourmand, this extract is for those who love balmy orientals and macerated fruits. It gives its best from autumn to winter, in the evening, and is equally suited to women and men. \u003cstrong\u003eThe 15 ml size has an applicator cap\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no atomizer: it is applied drop by drop, and the bottle is refilled each time it is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eThe Purple Bar Cherigan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the house puts a counter rather than a fruit in a bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHERIGAN","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":54414958199048,"sku":"PROD-000355","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ml","offer_id":54414958231816,"sku":"PROD-000356","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/cherigan-the-purple-bar-extrait-de-parfum-100ml.png?v=1785939778","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/cherigan-the-purple-bar","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
