I have as of late been visualizing works of art that remind me of certain frags, or vice versa, and thought that after the voting on the top ten masterpieces of fragrances, it would be fun to hear from basenoters:
Which piece of visual art, painting, sculpture, photograph would you associate with a particular fragrance. I realize there are some music lovers here as well, so a piece of music would be okay too. I am interested to hear about specific works rather than an artist or musician perse...if possible. I sort of break my own rule below!
For example :
Something about Gris Clair is very clear and clean, nearly pristine, and evokes the same energy I feel when viewing a Brancusi sculpture, (Bird, comes to mind) or a group of sculptures, like his installment at MoMA. There is the feel of a clean cut precise edge to this scent.
Another aspect of Gris Clair is that there is a fabulous lushness about it.
Van Gogh's Cypresses painting comes to mind, with the thick, swirly curly deep green tree foliage, harmonious and deep.
Montale's Velvet Flowers makes me think of Mary Cassat's mother and child body of work. It is utterly feminine, soft and pretty.
Malle's Lipstick Rose is Andy Warhol all the way. The Marilyn Monroe portrait.
