BAR LAUNCHES GIVENCHY COCKTAIL LIST

Jan 28, 2015

(TDB) - The Green Bar at the Café Royal hotel in Piccadilly has launched a cocktail list inspired by the perfumes of French fashion house Givenchy.

The Atelier Collection, which goes on sale on 1 February, was devised by the hotel’s mixologist Tiziano Tasso and features seven cocktails that aim to mirror the notes in the different Givenchy fragrances.

Merging the worlds of perfume and drinks, Tasso has paid attention to keeping the colour of the cocktails as near as possible to the scents they represent, taking the base notes of each perfume, from flowers and woods to fruits, as the starting point for creating the seven cocktails.

The collection is available at the Parisian-themed Green Bar until 31 March, with each cocktail priced at £13.

This is not the first time a cocktail bar has taken perfume as its muse – last June The Ritz in Berlin launched the world’s first perfume-inspired cocktail bar that encourages guests to match their drink to their scent.

Named Fragranes, the bar serves 15 cocktails inspired by perfumes from the likes of Armani, Jo Malone and Guerlain.

The Café Royal opened in 1865 and during its first incarnation was frequented by the likes of Oscar Wilde and his young lover Lord Alfred Douglas, known as “Bosie”.

French fashion house Givenchy was founded in 1952 by French designer Hubert de Givenchy, who created Les Parfums de Givenchy in 1957.

In 1958, Givenchy asked Audrey Hepburn to be the face of Givenchy L’Interdit in the first celebrity collaboration of its kind for a perfume.
