Blue Suede Shoes
‘Blue Suede Shoes’ doesn’t just refer to blue suede footwear, but also a legendary piece of music history. The rock-’n’-roll song of the same name by Carl Perkins came out in 1956 and is one of the most successful singles of all time. A somewhat faster cover version of the track was recorded by the King, Elvis Presley, before the year was out. Even though it wasn’t intended to be released as a single, it hit the singles charts and earned the song fame all over the world. Loaded with humour, the lyrics are about someone with an all-consuming love for his blue suede shoes, something which becomes clear from the text when he declares, among other things: “Do what you want, knock me down, burn my house, steal my car…but stay off of my blue suede shoes.”
Blue Suede Shoes – the Scent
Such dynamic inspiration can only result in a vigorous fragrance. The concept developed by creative director Herbert Stricker has been realised by perfumers Blanca Dalmau and Christian Carbonnel.
BLUE SUEDE SHOES presents us with a fresh, herbal and aromatic mixture right from the start. Bitter bergamot and aromatic lavender are finely accentuated by anise and pepper. The heart notes provide a wood-dominated and rather dry main theme. Cedarwood contributes to this significantly, though restrained patchouli, fine amber and creamy sandalwood also lend to this character. A soft base underlays the fresh and wooden fragrance with harmoniously blended components such as vetiver, tonka bean and labdanum.
The elegant steel-blue vial adds to the impression that BLUE SUEDE SHOES is an expressive citrus fragrance which men, but also women, will appreciate in equal measure.
