(if you consider it a female scent, or a male one, or a piece of Art and Design...)
The Black&Gold Swan: it's hard to say where to start, talking about this perfume.
We could start from its glamorous image, typical of the late Eighties in NY. Or to consider that it was presented as a scent "for women", playing around leathery and incense notes (actually being perfectly wearable by male audience...). Or could we discuss about the bottle, a true piece of Modern Art?
