𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙚 Right now at this exact moment, a silent battle is currently being fought all around the country. A crime that is rarely prosecuted, a human rights violation, and a serious threat to the daily lives of thousands of women and children.
Of course this is referring to the unpleasant reality of domestic abuse. Domestic violence is still a taboo topic today, a horrible secret that shouldn’t be revealed. We can hear and see what is happening, so we are aware of it. But who is doing something?

One of the major causes of this crime is the illiteracy of young men towards the topic. Every single man out there is a role model to somebody, it doesn’t matter where or who.

This is why we have taken this topic seriously and have decided to make the theme of the 2023 Misters of Nigeria pageant “𝐌𝐀𝐍, 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓”

Little drops of water makes an ocean. We believe that no effort is wasted and we are dedicated to doing our own quota in passing this message and training our Kings to spread this message to every single person who listens and looks up to them.

Paco Rabanne dies aged 88.
Spanish fashion designer and perfume legend Paco Rabanne died in Portsall, France 🇫🇷.

Fast-forward to the 21st Century.

Paco Rabanne is still making waves in perfumery – with fragrances that have captured hearts, and become global blockbusters. Most notably, Lady Million, with its faceted

his name’s still on the lips of perfume lovers all over the world.

A bit of history: Paco Rabanne was born Francisco Rabaneda y Cuervo in 1934, in Pasaïa, in the Basque country of Spain. His mother, a head seamstress at the Spanish couture house of Balenciaga, fled the Spanish Civil War for France, in 1939. ‘Spanish at heart and French by adoption,’ his biography says, ‘Francisco Rabaneda would now be known as Paco Rabanne‘. After studying architecture at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (which nurtured a deep love of the art world), Rabanne began designing costume jewelry for the greatest couture houses of the day: Nina Ricci, Pierre Cardin, Balenciaga, Courrèges, Givenchy and more…

PACO RABANNE

As perfumer Marcel Carles recalls, it had the most evocative – and racy – brief: ‘Imagine it’s spring. A rich young man arrives in his E-type Jaguar to pick up his girlfriend. Imagine the scent of fast air, speed, and leather seats.

We T40 Perfumes celebrate this legend RIP.
