De hyena odorifera

Le 19 août 2008 à 14:45 sur 1000fragrances

Many animals have particular odours. Many of them have been used in old perfumery but today only the names of musc, amber, civette and castoreum have survived in modern perfumery through reconstitutions. "De hyena odorifera"(De hyaena odorifera exetasis) is a title of a work published in 1638 (...)

Shocking & Jean Paul Gaultier

Le 17 août 2008 à 16:27 sur 1000fragrances

New fragrances are often inspired (design, name, concept) by other fragrances, already on the market. But do not think that brands would go deep in the history for their inspiration. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique bottle is inspired by Shocking - the success perfume from the 30's of Elsa (...)

Another Lauder myth

Le 15 août 2008 à 16:25 sur 1000fragrances

Estée Lauder was known not only for the quality of her products and the great sense of business but also for the stories she invented. Like Chanel most of things that Estée Lauder said to the press/public were a mixture of facts and fiction - factions as would have said Diana Vreeland. This is (...)

EDP - eau de parfum

Le 14 août 2008 à 16:49 sur 1000fragrances

The use of EDP today in the industry is more a question of psychology than one of utility. In terms of sales EDP comes after EDT in France. Few fragrances are available in all concentrations, very few would come on the market in the same time. Fragrance industry had always had the dilemma of a (...)

Kenzo Eau de fleurs

Le 13 août 2008 à 19:03 sur 1000fragrances

The new Kenzo trio takes inspiration from the smell of floral waters in Asia: silk flower, magnolia and tea flower. They are very clean (almost transparent), delicate and subtle like floral petals floating on water with a very cosmetic/personal care quality. All of them are conceived in the (...)

In this scene from "Our Dancing Daughters" (1928) with Joan Crawford there is a short moment when an entire wall with fragrances is presented. Among them 2 big bottles of Mitsouko (Guerlain) and Nuit de Noel (Caron) and a very beautiful (...)

Death of a myth - Diorissimo

Le 3 août 2008 à 22:37 sur 1000fragrances

Diorissimo is another monument of French Perfumery that LVMH destroyed since they bought Dior. Recognizable in its olfactive shape the modern Diorissimo lacks the details that made it a great perfume and established Roudnitska as the supreme master in the art of perfumery. It was the first (...)

Headspace & fragrance

Le 1er août 2008 à 11:46 sur 1000fragrances

Because of the over use of the term headspace in fragrance descriptions (blue lotus headspace, silver mountain breeze, living rose space) many would think today that they are pure marketing inventions or tools used by fragrance houses to attract brands. But headspace & living flower was more (...)
