Shocking rediscovery

Le 27 juillet 2008 à 10:33 sur 1000fragrances

When Vol de Nuit was launched in 1933 it had a big success and for many years it was a bestseller for Guerlain. But Vol de Nuit was also an important moment in the history of the perfumery. It took the chypre accord to a next level with at least 3 important modifications - galbanum, orris (...)

Chandler Burr gives a long review and interpretation of Un jardin après le mousson (Hermès), a fragrance of only one star and a failure according to him, on NYTimes blog. That's a perfume that I expected a lot but I was ... quite dissapointed. It's one of the new fragrances (in the past 6 (...)

Le 23 juillet 2008 à 22:30 sur 1000fragrances

Karl Lagerfeld is a well known fan of 1920's Art Deco movement and one of its promoters in the early 70's. He also had a big collection of art sold years ago in the auction. The latest perfume collection presented in WWD and developed by Coty has a design inspired by the books (that's the (...)

Guerlain usine

Le 22 juillet 2008 à 18:08 sur 1000fragrances

Fragrance manufacturing at the Guerlain Usine in 1963. Very traditional compared to how the factory looks today. In one picture you can see the device for the preparation of absolute from concrete by alcohol extraction. They were called "batteuses". Because Guerlain used to prepare / treat some (...)

Best perfume

Le 22 juillet 2008 à 12:18 sur 1000fragrances

It's amazing how simple mixtures can give amazing smells. I work now on a floral perfume and it's just wonderful how some very simple proportions of jasmine absolute (egypt), rose absolute (turkey), rose oil (marocco) and 3 other simple notes.... smell incredible on blotter and skin. The accord (...)

Death of a myth - Fidji

Le 20 juillet 2008 à 15:52 sur 1000fragrances

A small bottle on a shelf, a poor packaging, no other perfumes from the brand. The first signs of the agony. Guy Laroche was not a great French couturier and in the early 60's was known for its very Chanel like collections. But in 1966 he did a successful move (and later another one with (...)

Death of a myth - Miss Dior

Le 20 juillet 2008 à 15:52 sur 1000fragrances

A great classic, a best seller of Dior before Poison … now another ghost. The fragrance was relaunched in 1992 and reformulated but ironicaly the french magazine Parfums Cosmétique Aromes (Nr. 107) noted at that time "relancé - sans toucher à la formule". In fact, nobody said in France (...)

Le Jardin de Mon Curé

Le 20 juillet 2008 à 12:02 sur 1000fragrances

The first creation of Jacques Guerlain (1895) is still modern today and has all the elements to take Guerlain in a new direction. This perfume can be seen as a symbol of the old french catholic tradition that today is just history (Garden of my parish priest). The name reflected a type of (...)
