Black Soul EDT

Black soul by Ted Lapidus for Men

• Concentration: Eau de Toilette
• Size: 100 ml

The Ted Lapidus Black Soul arrives on the market in August 2009 and is created of mint, cardamom, neroli, bergamot, cinnamon, saffron, tolu balm, resins, Guaiac wood. Ted Lapidus creates sensual, intoxicating scents that are intensified by the warmth of your own body. Apply in the creases of your skin and neck for a longer-lasting, stronger scent. After applying, avoid rubbing or dabbing skin. This breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly. If you prefer placing fragrance on your wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent hand-washing, as this tends to rinse off the scent.

About Ted Lapidus:

Edmond "Ted" Lapidus was a Parisian designer born to Russian immigrant parents in 1929. The son of a tailor, he completed an apprenticeship with Christian Dior before launching his own brand in 1951. He joined the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture (the French high fashion designers trade union) in 1963.

Ted Lapidus' fashions offered a distinct unisex style that was much in-demand in the revolutionary 1960s. Lapidus designs often featured safari themes and military elements such as epaulettes on the shoulders. He is widely credited with helping to popularize blue jeans in mainstream fashion."

Lapidus is also notable for utilizing mass market production techniques, making its fashions more affordable to the average consumer. The Ted Lapidus brand expanded into accessories in the 1970s, as interest in haute couture began to fade. One of the earliest designer houses to form a strategic partnership with a major fragrance company, Lapidus first collaborated with L'Oreal in 1970 to offer a line of fragrances under the Ted Lapidus brand.

In 1989, Lapidus's son Oliver took over the house. In 2000, the Lapidus label officially ended its couture division and focused exclusively on accessories and fragrances. Ted Lapidus passed away in 2008.
