Exclusively on December 2nd, Fabienne Carat colored the show “Passion Azur,” hosted by Adrien Mangano, on France Bleu Azur with “Darkpink.” And guess what? That day, Nice-Premium was also tinged with this musical and fragrant color.
It’s been a few days now since we returned from the “Darkpink” universe. But here’s the hitch! We still haven’t found our original hue. And if you are reading this article, there’s a risk that you, too, might be won over by this universe. Dangerous? No! The “author” of this concept promised us that softness and conflict coexist harmoniously.
But who is the author, you ask? Her name is Fabienne Carat, and between you and me, this lady is a real hard worker and an artist with many skills in her arsenal! She dances, cooks, draws, cuts hair, writes, decorates, acts on stage, and also acts behind a television camera. But yes, her lovely face must seem familiar: Fabienne plays the role of Samia Nassri in the series “Plus belle la vie.” And today, we present her to you as a singer.
This month, Fabienne presents her first album “Darkpink,” which was “created” in Beausoleil with her composer, Maurice Ouazana. “It’s a very colorful album! “Darkpink” is the meeting of two worlds: childhood and adulthood. “Pink” represents childhood, sweetness, candies. “Dark” is the adult world with its darkness and the difficulties we encounter. “Darkpink” symbolizes the taming and reconciliation of these two worlds. In fact, we discover the confrontation of these two universes at the time of adolescence,” explains Fabienne Carat.
In her first album, Fabienne offers you eleven cheerful and rhythmic tracks, eight of which were written by her hand. It includes love stories: betrayal, romantic disappointment, stifled passion, happiness, friendship … and also cigarettes: “I’m not a smoker, but I suffered from not starting because smoking facilitates integration and gives presence when you’re young. It’s not easy to start smoking, but it’s even harder to quit. Better not start! I’m very sensitive to this subject, and I spoke about it like a former smoker,” explains Fabienne. “In this album, I also speak about my dad. I send him a message of love. In these songs, there are many lived inspirations transcribed poetically,” she continues.
Besides the musical universe, “Darkpink” is a concept where the main protagonist is “Darkpink,” obviously! “I imagined a Darkpink manga. She is very beautiful. It’s my caricature in manga form, but better! She is sweet, strong, fragile, unattainable, and inaccessible. She is dark and pink,” describes Fabienne. A manga character! “More later!” she continues.
Musical universe and also? “Olfactory. I am passionate about perfume. I’ve been mixing my perfumes for over fifteen years. I never found a perfume that suits me. Every morning, I mix five or six perfumes. It becomes an anxiety over time. So, the perfume I created in Grasse, it’s me. The fragrance traces the Darkpink universe. It is fruity, caramelized, warm, sweet, and at the same time, it has patchouli notes that reflect the strong intensity present in this universe. It resembles me. I am proud of it. And ironically, it suits men very well! Although the packaging is very feminine, this perfume is for everyone,” presents Fabienne Carat.
And if “Darkpink” were a dessert? “It would be a blueberry tart. The crust would be the sweetness, substance, comfort, and the fruits would represent the color, sweetness, acidity, tangy notes,” answers Fabienne. Appetizing, isn’t it?
