Aliage is a green chypre fragrance[1] that was released in 1972 by Estée Lauder, and was the first sports fragrance. It is sold as Alliage in France.[2] Because sports fragrances were new, some of them had a more descriptive name printed on the bottle: Aliage Sport.
The name was meant to be Alliage, which is French for "alloy", to suggest a blending or fusion of elements into a single, new creation. An order sheet accidentally had it printed as "aliage", and American labels were printed that way. The spelling error was corrected for the French market.[2]
Product line
Estée Lauder introduced Aliage as part of its Mother's Day rollout in May 1972. The launch advertising described the name as meaning "a blend," and marketed the fragrance in two initial forms: Sport Fragrance (a concentrate), and Sport Spray (a cologne).[3]
By December 1975, the product line had expanded for the Christmas season to include other scented items alongside the fragrance itself, and advertisements distinguished two variants: Aliage Country Sport, described as "the lighter, air-washed version", and Aliage Sport Fragrance Spray, marketed with the line "one mist in the morning provides a day's worth of refreshing fragrance."[4]
Fragrance
Francis Camail at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) created this fragrance as a personal project, and it was later refined by IFF's chief perfumer Bernard Chant.[2]
Camail's original formulation had 2% galbanum, with its notable green accord built around cis-3-hexenyl salicylate—similar to Guy Laroche Fidji (1966) and Norell Norell (1968), which were both created by Joséphine Catapano at IFF. To this, he also added allyl amyl glycolate for a green and pineapple scent[5][6] and olibanum (frankincense) for wood notes. Chant further amplified the green notes.[2]
The fragrance has green top notes; spicy middle notes; and woody base notes:[2]
- Top notes: Primarily galbanum; also bergamot and jasmine
- Middle notes: Primarily nutmeg; also armoise and rose
- Base notes: Primarily cedarwood; also oakmoss and vetiver
Fragrances with green notes were not widely popular in fragrances marketed to women, but one that came before it was Balmain Vent Vert (1947); others released in the years immediately following Aliage include Chanel Cristalle (1974) and Ralph Lauren Lauren (1978).[7] Future fragrances that highlighted the green and pineapple scent of allyl amyl glycolate include Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir and Davidoff Cool Water.[6]
