NYTimes
Le 17 mars 2008 à 14:06 sur 1000fragrances
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 (...)
SFP conference REACH
Le 13 mars 2008 à 1:09 sur 1000fragrances
Tonight I participated at the monthly conference organized by SFP (Société Française des Parfumers) and the subject was hot and tough - REACH - the new legislation on ingredients where all you have on the market (produced or imported in UE more than 1 tone a year) must be registered and then (...)
Caron sample adventure
Le 12 mars 2008 à 12:36 sur 1000fragrances
After reading the news on Scentedsalamander about the sample program that Caron offers in NY - I hoped that this will be available also in Paris. After not receiving any answer to my emails I went to the boutique hoping to buy some fresh samples to prepare a review (I did not speak that much (...)
Jockey Club
Le 9 mars 2008 à 0:11 sur 1000fragrances
Jockey Club was once a select gentlemen's club in the 19th century. It was of course dealing with horses but it was more than sport. It was the gathering of the elite of nineteenth-century French society. Entering this club (as it is still today) was not only a question of money. It was one of (...)

Lucien Lelong - Elle Elle
Le 7 mars 2008 à 1:08 sur 1000fragrances
A beautiful perfume created by the master perfumer Jean Carles. A name as an echo to designers initials and its logo. A perfume as a fingerprint with rose, chamomila, orris, castoreum and sweet oriental woody notes. A perfume treasured by Luca Turin and also described in his latest NZZFolio (...)
De la parfumerie française
Le 6 mars 2008 à 0:23 sur 1000fragrances
La parfumerie française, avant qu'elle ne devienne internationale, reposait sur le contraste et la nuance. Je crains parfois qu'à cause des grands lancements on perde quelque chose - pas tellement le caractère d'un parfum mais sa perception en dehors d'une culture (sensorielle aussi). On cite (...)
The Magnolias

It's spring time in Paris, magnolias bloomed and in some places the air is highly fragrant. There are many types of magnolias and depending on which country you are you'll have a different refference for what magnolia would smell. In perfumes the magnolia note is quite confuse whe you don't (...)

The march edition of 10 Men magazine (focused on fashion/lifestyle/art) has an incredible good and critic article on celebrity fragrances by author Liz Hancock. When fashion magazines start to "boicot" the many celebrity fragrances - can we see that as an end of an era? or at least some changes (...)
