Which district of New York most dynamic, most exuberant, is coloured the most and profiting from the fastest expansion? Answer: Chinatown – new Chinatown, widespread with energy and super power. It emerges at a tremendous speed. If that would be unperceived past, Chinatown overflows from now on on Soho, Little Italy and The Lower East Side. Chinatown was created in the long tradition of the Eastern perfumes of the 20th century. It is however the first to add the particular esthetics of New York to it. The particular design of the juice and the bottle takes its inspiration of a flask of porcelain ginger dating from the Dynasty Ming (1368-1644) when Chinese art reached heights without precedent. In Chinese mythology, the budding plum tree is the first sign of spring after the time of roughness of the winter. On a side of the bottle, the flowers are color of iridescent pearl on a bottom deep fuchsia. But it is enough to turn over it to discover in a style yin-yang the same design with the reversed colors. Which is the gasoline of this delirious district? A note of head in the form of a glare of flower of fishing, mystical fruit in Chinese mythology that Taoists regard as an elixir of life. The heart is a multicultural bouquet envoutant: the peony (known like Sho Yo, or most beautiful, the Chinese flower of love, the luxury and indulgence), mixed with creamy and sweetened notes of Gardenia (the flower that Billie Holiday carried in his hair) and of tuberose choking (known in the Occidental world like the Mistress of the Night). The patchouli adds a note appEtissante to these floral notes. At the head basic the cardamome, ancient spice of the East, used a long time like a condiment and wood dark point out the perfume of wood enamelled. |
