L’Heir du temps

Le 29 février 2008 à 13:28 sur 1000fragrances

Chandler Burr speaks about Osmothèque and old/rare perfumes in Paris in his latest article for NY Times where he draws a fascinating portrait of Jean Kerleo. A small error: it's not stearyl acetate but styrallyl acetate - the gardenia note from Crêpe de Chine (and Ma Griffe, and so on)! :) See (...)

Quand vient l’été - Guerlain (1910)

Le 28 février 2008 à 19:51 sur 1000fragrances

Quand vient l'été is an explosion of flowers in pastel shades with accents of very bright colours - a pure Belle Époque fragrance that reminds me of Mucha posters with their floral arabesque. It was quite a modern perfume for that era and as No5 had its aldehydes in the 20's, this Guerlain (...)

Le 22 février 2008 à 14:07 sur 1000fragrances

Lajea, My Sin, Le Chypre, J'en raffole, La Dogaresse - lost Lanvin perfumes! I prepare now a review of pre WWII Lanvin perfumes with a focus on their classics but also with some facts about the perfumes from the 1920's era (before (...)

The Chanel equation

Le 17 février 2008 à 17:56 sur 1000fragrances

In the early 20's, Chanel launched several perfumes extremely rare today. They were all numbers and (2, 11, 14, 20, 21, 27, 55, 7) and it's hard today to imagine the story behind. Were they the labels Ernest Beaux put on the vials that Chanel choose? Or is there a special reason behind their (...)

Molyneux’s number 5

Le 15 février 2008 à 16:17 sur 1000fragrances

Luca Turin has a very interesting article on that perfume made my Molyneux and called the same as Chanel's. I was very happy when I read Luca's review because, independently, last week, with a romanian friend, we bought a sealed bottle of this perfume in Paris that will be exhibited in Bucarest (...)

Just seen it on ebay. A great finding. It's sad there is no juice inside!

The subject - Le Parfum au naturel - (the natural perfume) - a panorama of what natural is today (natural/eco/bio, etc), the labels (ecocert) and all the concerns/rw materials you can use or not to have a 100% (...)

Madame Grès’s first perfumes

Le 13 février 2008 à 11:29 sur 1000fragrances

Throughout her long career in fashion (from 1930's to 1980's) Madame Grès was often compared with a sculptor. Her long draped or pleated dresses resembled with ancient Greek sculptures, Indian statues or even Japanese drawings. During the first part of her career, the fashion house was named (...)

Guerlain : White Rose, Ode, Ambre

Le 8 février 2008 à 9:32 sur 1000fragrances

White rose is listed in Guerlain catalogue as a perfume created in the 19th century. The perfume that I sampled was from 20th century but seemed as picked some hours before, in a fresh English garden. It is a very simple perfume in the tradition of old flower extrait. It contains rose oil, (...)
