VV MAN by Roberto Verino:
With a gorgeous Eighties-era bottlean orange glass flacon encased in an amber plastic container, all very hard-edged and transparent in shades of cinnabar red, orange, and roseVV Man harks back to an even earlier era, when Pierre Cardin and Courreges ruled the catwalks with festive fun and space-age energy. Roberto Verinos VV Man has an allure not unlike one of those Richard Neutra homes in Palm Springs: everything old is new again, and better for times passage. The juice opens with a heavenly burst of melon cut by cardamomthen passes through a kind of Sixties floral bouquet, before settling into a peaceful patchouli and amber base. Theres something Studio 54 about this fragrancea kind of mash-up of scents that evokes the upstairs of that fabled club where Halston, Andy, and Calvin are snorting lines amidst a profusion of candles, flowers, and incenseand general hilarity. Given VV Mans unfamiliarity to the masses, a person could easily make this his or her personal fragrance.
