Worth 1925

Le 30 août 2008 à 23:55 sur 1000fragrances

This forgotten house still holds some masterpieces to be rediscovered.

Musk oils (2)

Le 30 août 2008 à 17:23 sur 1000fragrances

One of the main characteristics of exotic countries is the heat. If today this is no more a problem for alcoholic vapos, hermetically closed, it was not the same 30 or 50 years ago. While luxury perfumes had sometime a special closure (but also many vintages evaporated though closed) this was (...)

Volcanic Musk

Le 30 août 2008 à 17:00 sur 1000fragrances

I've read in some fragrance descriptions this amazing phrase "volcanic musk". Well, it's not the fantasy of a marketing guy dreaming of musk effects on a hot skin ... but a molecule from Firmenich, quite new and called - Vulcanolide - a very strong musk. There are plenty of musk molecules today (...)

Musk oils (1)

Le 30 août 2008 à 16:46 sur 1000fragrances

"It's sensual, it's mystique, it goes back to the roots of perfumery, it's Arabian, it's skinscent…." I've heard many symbolic discussions around musk oils (from Kiehl's to Narciso Rodriguez, from the cheap drugstore to the exclusive ones). They are false in my opinion or at least they (...)

Fragrances from Antiquity

Le 30 août 2008 à 15:56 sur 1000fragrances

This week I found in Paris an amazing new book on fragrance history. A historical catalogue "Parfums de l'Antiquité" from Musée Mariemont. It deals with incense and roses in Antiquity, with a lot of new archaeological findings. It's rather an academic approach done by historians and focused on (...)

Milade by Guerlain (2006)

Le 30 août 2008 à 10:51 sur 1000fragrances

Everything is done in Paris but not everything is known or available in Paris. Like for the latest Chanel Beige, Guerlain had a precedent in this world of exclusive access to perfumes. In 2006 they did a fragrance (in the end it was a flop) and no word was said in France. It was Milade done for (...)

Olfactive profiler - Diane Thalheimer

Le 29 août 2008 à 19:23 sur 1000fragrances

The latest number of l'Officiel features a portrait of Diane Thalheimer Krief, olfactive profiler and an expert behind several contemporary fragrances (from Angel when she worked for Quest to the latest Paul Smith). She is also in charge with several workshops for Thierry Mugler, a very (...)

Clean molecules (2)

Le 28 août 2008 à 22:02 sur 1000fragrances

The main trend of mid 90's, "the clean", can be seen as an endless variation on 3 main themes: marine, watery and ozonic notes. Different molecules and fragrance structures were used to express the main idea - the water (salty and cold, fresh and somehow sweet and airy). The marine note is (...)

The Parisian Touch

Le 27 août 2008 à 0:02 sur 1000fragrances

An ad from 1951 for Roure - the producer of rawmaterials and fine fragrances. It's from an american trade magazine... just to show again the fascination with everything from Paris (it was however Dior's epoque). Before IFF entered the game, most american perfumes or scented products were still (...)

The Quinolines (II)

Le 26 août 2008 à 14:33 sur 1000fragrances

In the world of delicate scents used by many perfumers at the beginning of 20th century (from the flower extracts, infusions to the delicate molecules like geraniol, phenylethyl alcohol, terpineol, ionone and even the spicy eugenols) the quinolines were a monster and not very inspiring in a (...)
