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 (...)

Fragrance and racism ?

Le 16 mai 2008 à 19:11 sur 1000fragrances

In his book, Richard Stamelman speaks about the african trend in fragrance bottle design as "the elegance and beauty of perfume invention and design offer no guarantees against the insensitivity of cololonialist and racist images …as revealed by Golliwogg (1920)". He also insists later in (...)

Guerlain - Bouquet de Faunes

Le 16 mai 2008 à 19:04 sur 1000fragrances

There was a time when it was fashionable to wear furs in winter and in summer in a considerable amount and variety. Today the smell of natural fur is almost extinct in our memory and this reference is not as strong as it used to be at the dawn of XXth cent. Many perfumes were created before (...)

Yesterday I spent my entire day at the event organized by the French Society of Perfumers - SFP: the fair of raw materials, where all major names in the industry presented their new naturals/chemicals that would inspire the perfumer for the next masterpiece and in the evening the announcement (...)

Andy Warhol Union Square - review

Le 16 mai 2008 à 10:08 sur 1000fragrances

Like many Andy Warhol creations (who used to take images/icons of his time) the latest fragrance from Bond No9 has a certain degree of familiarity within our world. It's not a perfume or a particular smell but rather an idea, a known song of our days - the freshness after the shower, the (...)

Guerlain tradition

Le 14 mai 2008 à 19:25 sur 1000fragrances

Heritage and good old past is not a new story for Guerlain. This ad from 1903, the cover of a 3 perfume set - Le Bon Vieux Temps, Tsao Ko, Fleur qui meurt - realised by Boutet de Monvel as many other from the same year, speaks about Guerlain's past. The woman is dressed in 1830 fashion (when (...)

Guerlain 1902

Le 14 mai 2008 à 18:43 sur 1000fragrances

This beautiful Art Nouveau ad was used by Guerlain 1902 and it was supposed to evoke a beautiful perfume and great success of 1900 - Voilà Pourquoi j'Aimais Rosine. This exquisite fragrance was a lily soliflore (with a lot of ylang-ylang) and the drawing made that subtle illusion. Another lost (...)

France & Deutschland

Le 13 mai 2008 à 0:27 sur 1000fragrances

I am an avid reader of Berg Publishers and of their books on fashion/textile history, the most achieved academic studies in the field of dress. The book I read now is called "Nazi Chic" and it explores in depths the economics and mysteries of third Reich fashion business and propaganda. The (...)

Le 10 mai 2008 à 22:44 sur 1000fragrances

Chanel 46 ad is from 1945 - very rare, yet beautiful fragrance, a variation around No5 idea.

Le Galion fragrances (1)

Le 10 mai 2008 à 19:10 sur 1000fragrances

Founded previously by Prince Murat, Le Galion was acquired by the perfumer Paul Vacher in 1937, author of the majority of the fragrances, some of them great successes in their time. A few are recreated at l'Osmotheque (the most famous) but other had a very short life and very rare today, so (...)
