Cherchez la Femme !

Le 26 mars 2008 à 20:28 sur 1000fragrances

The official story of Femme (1944) says that the perfume was offered as a mariage gift by French Couturier Marcel Rochas to his second and beautiful wife Hélène. The real story is that Femme was offered to American soldiers in Paris when the city was again free. In fact, if you look with (...)

Houbigant mistery

Le 26 mars 2008 à 17:39 sur 1000fragrances

In 1935 Houbigant celebrated 160 years of existence. It was by then on of the most important perfume house but soon, with WWII the decline of the house will start and once the number one of France will lose its prestige and the world "domination".In early 30's there were a number of ads in most (...)

The smell of lower classes

Le 26 mars 2008 à 14:03 sur 1000fragrances

I am amused when smell anthropologists or artists in West speak about bad smells, classes, racism. Because all their experience is pure theory. In fact most of them never experienced bad smells because West Europe and North America eradicated them years before they were born. To say today that (...)

Musk Nomade - Annnick Goutal

Le 24 mars 2008 à 22:30 sur 1000fragrances

The next perfume from "Les Orientalistes" is called Musk Nomade and it was thought as a perfume to be worn alone or layered, inspired "by the sophistication of musc devotees, the Qatar Princesses, who bathed their bodies and hair in a divine blend of musk powder and rose essence, and fragranced (...)

Shopping Amazon today ... I came across this book by Roja Dove, the expert from Harrods, "The essence of perfume". It is said that it will be released in september 2008 and will have 288 pages! I do not have any other information on that by now but this book makes me already curious as I was (...)

Le Lilas Pourpre - Coty

Le 23 mars 2008 à 3:05 sur 1000fragrances

I love lilac and in less than a month Paris will bloom in purple and white shades. The Longchamp area was once famous for its fragranced air and gave name to some well known lilac products of the past. Lilac is the perfect "old fashion" fragrance and symbol of Belle Epoque era. "Le lilas (...)

Another Bespoke Fragrance

Le 21 mars 2008 à 10:21 sur 1000fragrances

When Luca Turin wrote about his tailor made natural perfume he expressed his doubts about all this process. But I found something even more "daring", more "apropriate" for a science man than the classic process of chosing some natural raw materials as he did. When I read in Vogue Paris and now (...)

Indult C16 and the musks

Le 20 mars 2008 à 23:52 sur 1000fragrances

There are 4 types of musks in the world - the natural musk with its characteristic smell, the plants and animals that have a distinct note described as musky (and in latin their name would contain something like moschata/us), the musk molecules and the so called musk fragrances. The musk (...)

Mugler & Lelong

The packaging for the latest Miroir collection of Mugler was for sure inspired by this classic presentation of Lucien Lelong - Mon Image. photo: ebay

NYTimes

I had a nightmare weekend with my computer broken (it's still not fixed) so I was unable to write or publish the comments, and worst to read the press/blogs/mails. But the surprise came today with an email from carmencanada when I saw that my blog was named in a NYTimes article. As a pure (...)
