Fragrance and art critics

Le 20 juillet 2008 à 11:44 sur 1000fragrances

If fragrance is art or not is still a debate (in terms of intellectual property - sew how French High considers fragrance), fragrance criticism, at its first days, is far away from art criticism. Or at least it has a big problem that is not yet solved. Because fragrance cannot be recorded as (...)

Arden & Babani

Le 10 juillet 2008 à 22:52 sur 1000fragrances

All perfumes were named and inspired by a different exotic country - from Arabia to Korea. In USA the distributor was Elizabeth Arden and the perfumes were available (...)

June Honeysuckle

Le 10 juillet 2008 à 14:26 sur 1000fragrances

For several weeks I've been in Romania inspecting my floral collection - honeysuckle, gardenias and silk mimosas. The hot climate (Paris seems eternal spring) has a noticeable impact on floral smells and I was able to compare some flowers I have in Paris with their exact botanical "replica" (...)

Tocade

Le 5 juillet 2008 à 12:57 sur 1000fragrances

This is Tocade from 1968 - not Rochas but Coryse Salomé, a well known fragrance house in the 60's, now extinct. The bottle reminds me that one used by Givenchy for their limited editions of Organza/Amarige/Very Irresistible.

Le 23 juin 2008 à 17:06 sur 1000fragrances

When I was student at ISIPCA we had a big blue barrel to collect our trials. It has a romantic name in French "mille fleurs".

This weekend I followed the precious information given by Givaudan scientist Roman Kaiser to recreate a floral smell he discovered in the Amazonian forest in 1996. Ouratea guianensis is a bright yellow flowering tree (Ochnaceae). The buds open at sunrise and close at noon and in this short time (...)

Jacques Polge interview

Le 22 juin 2008 à 21:33 sur 1000fragrances

In this old documentary about Chanel from 1986, maestro Jacques Polge explains Chanel perfumes and his new creation, Coco. A true artist that doesn't speak very much in public, Polge is the guardian sphinx of Chanel treasures. As the previous (and new) interview we see that despite he lives in (...)
