Armani Privé

Le 29 mai 2008 à 2:59 sur 1000fragrances

I was very enthusiastic when Armani started this luxury line and I enjoyed the very first concepts both in term of design and smell (like Pierre de lune and Cuir améthyste). But very soon I realized that l'Oréal's intention was only to mimic luxury. If you look back through Armani's collection, (...)

Ambre by Chanel (before 1924)

Le 26 mai 2008 à 2:14 sur 1000fragrances

The Ambre from Chanel that I knew and found long time ago was in the classic modernist No5 bottle (the first type as seen in the previous Chypre post). But thanks to this russian blog (ezhinka) I saw a different bottle of this curious perfume. Some voices claimed that Ambre was one of the first (...)

Chanel Chypre (before 1924)

Le 21 mai 2008 à 16:53 sur 1000fragrances

Since 1917 when Coty launched its great success it was fashionable that every perfume house had not only a chypre fragrance in their catalogue … but a Chypre or a similar name. Chanel also had a Chypre and the one you see in this picture from a bottle auction in Paris years ago is her (...)

Chanel Glamour (1933)

Le 20 mai 2008 à 15:20 sur 1000fragrances

While Europe and USA lived their worst years through the great Depression, while some fashion houses saw their American clients ruined, Chanel was on the point to live a great moment of her career. MGM proposed her a contract (1 million dollar If I remember well) to design dresses for their big (...)

That's Chanel shop in the early 50's with only fragrance / cosmetic products. Today in Chanel windows only fashion and accessories.

Guerlain 1903

Le 19 mai 2008 à 11:02 sur 1000fragrances

This ad for Guerlain - Georges Busson "Au bois" (aquarelle painted in 1898) was used a lot in the story of Habit Rouge. But the original caption was about another fragrance. "La Fleur qui meurt" was on the handkerchief and the man said "It's really delicious!". Another delicate flower that died (...)

Le Galion fragrances (2)

Le 18 mai 2008 à 13:04 sur 1000fragrances

Following my first review of Paul Vacher perfumes, fantasy perfumes, as they were called before classifications started to be used, I will present the soliflores that I smelled with carmencanada. I knew some of them (available at the Osmotheque) but one was the greatest surprise of this year. (...)

About Bandit reformulations

Le 18 mai 2008 à 13:02 sur 1000fragrances

Bandit suffered many reformulations (one even during Germaine Cellier's life) and its truly hard to say which is the first/correct version or to buy the proper one. Last week I had a surprise at Piguet's counter at Bon Marche store in Paris. I was admiring Fracas perfume bottle when suddenly I (...)

Precious Lanvin

Le 18 mai 2008 à 13:01 sur 1000fragrances

By the end of his career (1970's) André Fraysse wrote a long autobiography typewritten on more than 10 pages that I had the luck to find. He presents his long experience at Lanvin, the birth of Arpege and some insights about their fragrance factory. Lanvin had the chance and the elements to be (...)

Rochas 1926

Le 18 mai 2008 à 12:59 sur 1000fragrances

In many recent articles about Rochas (the past 5 years) I saw the same error written again and again when author retell the story of Femme. That Rochas started his perfumes in 1936. Well, somewhere there was a typographic error that expanded. It's around 1926 that Marcel Rochas started to put (...)
