Thoughts on Caron (1)
Le 19 juin 2008 à 22:37 sur 1000fragrances
After reading the Guide I was quite alarmed about what could have happened to Caron. Also a good occasion to resmell some classics of perfumery. I started to compare the extraits available in Paris but before any conclusions I would like to make some remarks. Caron had a long and difficult (...)
l’Air du temps - new
Le 19 juin 2008 à 22:29 sur 1000fragrances
After dreaming of l'Air du temps I came back to reality. The extrait is said to be the original formula from 1948. From EDT and EDP it has 2 strange ingredients in a notable amount. Lilial and Lyral, 2 lily of the valley molecules, also allergens. What's strange about that? I hardly believe (...)
Rebirth of Soviet Cosmetics (1)
Le 18 juin 2008 à 10:56 sur 1000fragrances
In an old post I showed a picture from the time when soviets started to produce on a large scale cosmetics and perfumes, products that were considered by many as "bourgeois". It took about 2 years but behind this important industrial project were 2 women that charmed Stalin with their (...)
Artistic freedom in perfumery
Le 16 juin 2008 à 17:50 sur 1000fragrances
Often marketing, price and regulation are named as limits for the modern perfumer in the quest of beauty and perfection through scent. But there is another one that is not so much talked about. Every big fragrance house has its own raw materials (internal quality) and what is sold to other (...)
L’Air du Temps - 60 romantic years
Le 14 juin 2008 à 13:39 sur 1000fragrances
Yesterday Nina Ricci celebrated 60 years of l'Air du temps and as a member of SFP I was invited to the marvelous event - presentation. As I arrived quite early I had the privilege to understand one of the facets of the perfume. The air was scented with l'air du temps. It was delicious and I (...)

Perfume shop in New Moscow Hotel, mid 30's (photo I took from an american magazine) It's a part of the reborn of cosmetic/fragrance industry that I will detail next week.
Henri and Guy Robert
Le 11 juin 2008 à 1:13 sur 1000fragrances
From the early 50's a photo of a famous family of great perfumers: Henri Robert, not yet perfumer at Chanel and the very young Guy Robert, his nephew.
The lack of sensorial nuance
Le 11 juin 2008 à 0:57 sur 1000fragrances
Economics gave perfumery the chance to evolve with a tremendous speed (think the new molecules available now) but also we entered the new era with less sensorial nuance. It is funny to see that while marketing plays a lot on sensorial rediscovery in the formula of many perfumes what happens is (...)
Purity
Le 11 juin 2008 à 0:36 sur 1000fragrances
Like architecture, perfume is about structure and detail, bones and decoration. Depending on the style of the perfumistic "writing" the choice of the "stone" can be crucial. Think Adolf Loos, Frank Lloyd Wright, Carlo Scarpa. The aroma chemicals of the organ can hide treasures that are not (...)
The Orris war : Firmenich & Givaudan
Le 7 juin 2008 à 18:36 sur 1000fragrances
Two giants in chemical research. Two great scientists. One molecule - irone, one of the principles of orris concrete so beautiful expressed by Iris Gris (Fath). In 1948 the small fragrance world was "devastated" by a controversial issue with both scientific and economic impact. The correct (...)
