Les Bains Guerbois 1979 New Wave pays tribute to the spirit of late 1970s Paris, its creative pulse of music, art, and nightlife wrapped in a single scent. It feels like stepping into a stylish club where everything is cool, modern, and effortlessly elegant, just like Paris.
This fragrance is a floral woody musk perfume, conceived under the fertile imagination of master perfumer Dominique Ropion.
The opening of the perfume is a lively burst of spearmint and peppermint that instantly feels bright and clean and cuts through an elegant, earthy iris. This first impression is vivid and refreshing, like a breeze carrying energy and excitement. The iris is a tad away from the classic powdery type, but rather green and slightly herbal.
As time goes by, the cool mint and iris are joined by the warmth of cedar wood, a breeze of aldehyde, a cocooning sandalwood. There’s a sense of balance here — the fragrance moves from cool and airy to calm and comforting. In the base, Australian sandalwood, amber wood, and musk come together to create a smooth and creamy layer that lingers beautifully on the skin.
1979 New Wave is both fresh and warm, and minimal and complex. With a higher-than-moderate longevity and moderate sillage, it’s a sort of perfume you can easily favor in many close spaces. It’s a type of composition that matches its name perfectly.
