Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue

Le 31 juillet 2008 à 16:15 sur 1000fragrances

Last week I rediscovered some Bond No9 fragrances at Sephora Champs Elysées ... too short because today they were no more there. But meanwhile I received the press release for the new fragrance. Andy Warhol is again the theme - this time the relation between the woman, her fragrance and the (...)

Roudnitska’s raspberry

Le 30 juillet 2008 à 23:13 sur 1000fragrances

Now it's hot & humid in Paris and it seems that some fragrances smell different. In other words different notes start to appear from the shadow. I'm obsessed now by Diorama and Le Parfum de Thérèse where a "new" note is more obvious than ever - the raspberry/strawberry touch. It's a very (...)

Makila (Jean Patou)

Le 29 juillet 2008 à 21:56 sur 1000fragrances

This perfume from 1961 (the picture) was a composition around white flowers and most interesting around Jasmin Sambac - a type of jasmin with a particular note. It was sold only in the 60's and is not often seen on ebay. That was the preHedione era, with jasmine notes composed à l'ancienne, but (...)

Stages in fragrance discovery

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 18:38 sur 1000fragrances

In this post I will try to give you some tips to better understand and "disclose" a fragrance. I have the feeling that today with so many launches we give too much space to novelty and to the act of "please, next one" - otherwise we do the job of buzz - a marketing technique more and more used (...)

Construction

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 14:33 sur 1000fragrances

Minimalism is a tricky matter in contemporary perfumery. Between the perceived minimalist aesthetics of a fragrance and its actual formula there might be a long distance. While the formulas of Jean Claude Ellena are short and this could be confirmed by the nose … I think that it would not (...)

Fragrance names

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 10:21 sur 1000fragrances

It is often said that the names of Belle Epoque perfumes had something hilarious or ridicule or that they were to narrative. This story was often said in contrast with No5 abstraction (Edmonde Charles Roux) and a long name (or too poetic) was considered not modern. But most writers newer said (...)

Shocking rediscovery

Le 27 juillet 2008 à 10:33 sur 1000fragrances

When Vol de Nuit was launched in 1933 it had a big success and for many years it was a bestseller for Guerlain. But Vol de Nuit was also an important moment in the history of the perfumery. It took the chypre accord to a next level with at least 3 important modifications - galbanum, orris (...)

Un jardin après le mousson

Le 25 juillet 2008 à 22:15 sur 1000fragrances

Chandler Burr gives a long review and interpretation of Un jardin après le mousson (Hermès), a fragrance of only one star and a failure according to him, on NYTimes blog. That's a perfume that I expected a lot but I was ... quite dissapointed. It's one of the new fragrances (in the past 6 (...)

Blog, Buzzmarketing, Beauty

Le 25 juillet 2008 à 21:49 sur 1000fragrances

An article found in NYTimes (january) about beauty blogs & samples: "The same bloggers who once begged for samples are now being sent the latest lip glosses and perfumes, all the free makeup they want and, in some cases, what many beauty editors commonly refer to as swag — luxurious (...)
