Fragrance in silent movies

Le 7 août 2008 à 20:25 sur 1000fragrances

In this scene from "Our Dancing Daughters" (1928) with Joan Crawford there is a short moment when an entire wall with fragrances is presented. Among them 2 big bottles of Mitsouko (Guerlain) and Nuit de Noel (Caron) and a very beautiful (...)

Guerlain Homme

Le 4 août 2008 à 0:51 sur 1000fragrances

The launch of Guerlain Homme in june Paris at Musée Rodin. Photos from the event are available on Flickr. Some bloggers (8) were invited for this event and discovered the fragrance in advance (see the report on buzzparadise). A private preview was available on Luxury Issues. Curious to see what (...)

Death of a myth - Diorissimo

Le 3 août 2008 à 22:37 sur 1000fragrances

Diorissimo is another monument of French Perfumery that LVMH destroyed since they bought Dior. Recognizable in its olfactive shape the modern Diorissimo lacks the details that made it a great perfume and established Roudnitska as the supreme master in the art of perfumery. It was the first (...)

Headspace & fragrance

Le 1er août 2008 à 11:46 sur 1000fragrances

Because of the over use of the term headspace in fragrance descriptions (blue lotus headspace, silver mountain breeze, living rose space) many would think today that they are pure marketing inventions or tools used by fragrance houses to attract brands. But headspace & living flower was more (...)

Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue

Le 31 juillet 2008 à 16:15 sur 1000fragrances

Last week I rediscovered some Bond No9 fragrances at Sephora Champs Elysées ... too short because today they were no more there. But meanwhile I received the press release for the new fragrance. Andy Warhol is again the theme - this time the relation between the woman, her fragrance and the (...)

Roudnitska’s raspberry

Le 30 juillet 2008 à 23:13 sur 1000fragrances

Now it's hot & humid in Paris and it seems that some fragrances smell different. In other words different notes start to appear from the shadow. I'm obsessed now by Diorama and Le Parfum de Thérèse where a "new" note is more obvious than ever - the raspberry/strawberry touch. It's a very (...)

Makila (Jean Patou)

Le 29 juillet 2008 à 21:56 sur 1000fragrances

This perfume from 1961 (the picture) was a composition around white flowers and most interesting around Jasmin Sambac - a type of jasmin with a particular note. It was sold only in the 60's and is not often seen on ebay. That was the preHedione era, with jasmine notes composed à l'ancienne, but (...)

Stages in fragrance discovery

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 18:38 sur 1000fragrances

In this post I will try to give you some tips to better understand and "disclose" a fragrance. I have the feeling that today with so many launches we give too much space to novelty and to the act of "please, next one" - otherwise we do the job of buzz - a marketing technique more and more used (...)

Construction

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 14:33 sur 1000fragrances

Minimalism is a tricky matter in contemporary perfumery. Between the perceived minimalist aesthetics of a fragrance and its actual formula there might be a long distance. While the formulas of Jean Claude Ellena are short and this could be confirmed by the nose … I think that it would not (...)

Fragrance names

Le 28 juillet 2008 à 10:21 sur 1000fragrances

It is often said that the names of Belle Epoque perfumes had something hilarious or ridicule or that they were to narrative. This story was often said in contrast with No5 abstraction (Edmonde Charles Roux) and a long name (or too poetic) was considered not modern. But most writers newer said (...)
