A scent of unapologetic luxury, Diaghilev lingers in memory long after it fades, earning its cult status with justifiable acclaim. Fragrance story: “Initially created for an exhibition on The Ballet Russes for the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this perfume pays homage to one of the greatest forces of the twentieth century: Sergei Diaghilev. Founder of the legendary Ballet Russes, he totally re-wrote the rules of artistry and was even said to have scented the curtains of the theatre so patrons were enveloped in a burst of fragrance as they were raised at the start of the performance. An unmistakable creation
