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 (...)

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 (...)

Le 23 juillet 2008 à 22:30 sur 1000fragrances
Karl Lagerfeld is a well known fan of 1920's Art Deco movement and one of its promoters in the early 70's. He also had a big collection of art sold years ago in the auction. The latest perfume collection presented in WWD and developed by Coty has a design inspired by the books (that's the (...)
Guerlain usine
Le 22 juillet 2008 à 18:08 sur 1000fragrances
Fragrance manufacturing at the Guerlain Usine in 1963. Very traditional compared to how the factory looks today. In one picture you can see the device for the preparation of absolute from concrete by alcohol extraction. They were called "batteuses". Because Guerlain used to prepare / treat some (...)
Best perfume
Le 22 juillet 2008 à 12:18 sur 1000fragrances
It's amazing how simple mixtures can give amazing smells. I work now on a floral perfume and it's just wonderful how some very simple proportions of jasmine absolute (egypt), rose absolute (turkey), rose oil (marocco) and 3 other simple notes.... smell incredible on blotter and skin. The accord (...)
Death of a myth - Fidji
Le 20 juillet 2008 à 15:52 sur 1000fragrances
A small bottle on a shelf, a poor packaging, no other perfumes from the brand. The first signs of the agony. Guy Laroche was not a great French couturier and in the early 60's was known for its very Chanel like collections. But in 1966 he did a successful move (and later another one with (...)
