Cardin as a design assistant in 1970, launched own range of ready-to-wear
clothing in his own name in 1976; a fashion and perfumery house that
is now partly owned by the Shiseido Group, with a 35% stake held by Hermes.

1993
Created by Jacques Cavalier of Beauté Prestige; a crisp fruity floral-oriental parfum with top notes of cyclamen, freesia, lotus, rosewater, bergamot, lemon, mandarin, plum and peach, heart notes of carnation, peony, lily and ginger on base notes of ambrette seed, musk, osmanthus, cinnamon, tonka bean and woods. Presented in a bottle in the shape of a corseted female torso; perhaps the most outrageous and much publicized flacon in 1990’s. Based on one designed launched in 1993 by Gaultier for Madonna in 1991 and inspired by one of his grandmother’s salmon-coloured satin girdles.
