Miroir des Secrets - Mugler

Le 4 janvier 2008 à 17:10 sur 1000fragrances

Thierry Mugler launched a very interesting series of perfumes inspired by the theme of the mirror. I will not review them now but I will speak about aldehydes. The official description of the perfume says … " aldéhyde doux-amer : aldéhyde d'origine naturelle, patchouli, musc...". Bitter (...)

Science and falsification - Luca Turin

Le 3 janvier 2008 à 19:11 sur 1000fragrances

I read this very interesting article about a possible fraud that took place at Institut Pasteur some 20 years ago, when Luca Turin was a young scientist at CNRS in the field of neurobiology. The article with quotes of Luca Turin about his boss and his unusual way to play science is maybe the (...)

Molyneux

Le 3 janvier 2008 à 13:53 sur 1000fragrances

Molyneux was a great fashion house founded by captain Edward Molyneux in 1919 and located in Paris, rue Royale at number 14 and from 1922-1950 at number 5 on the same street. Very famous in the 20's, this fashion house launched some perfumes and few of them had quite a success. One of them was (...)

Yteb fragrance house

Le 2 janvier 2008 à 16:39 sur 1000fragrances

Yteb and Irfé were fashion houses in Paris during the 20's created by russian aristocrats who fled the Revolution and run by the Hoyningen-Huene (George became the famous Vogue photographer) and Youssoupoff family. Look at the bottle design, the number idea (14) .... and all that came in mind (...)

Guerlain Lillia Bella - Acqua allegoria

Le 31 décembre 2007 à 15:56 sur 1000fragrances

If you want to smell somethig that really hurts the nose, try that one! Guerlain has never been good on lily of the valley fragrances and all their launches in the past 100 years were mediocre or bad. Even the lilly of the valley fragrance put on the market every 1st may is worth only for the (...)

Flankers - my way

Le 31 décembre 2007 à 15:30 sur 1000fragrances

In the past 10 years flankers had invaded the fragrance market. It's easy and profitable to do small variations on a formula. It takes you a week to have a new clone and not a year for a new-original perfume. You use the same bottle (with little changes in colour) so you can have better price (...)

Dior Homme range

Le 31 décembre 2007 à 15:29 sur 1000fragrances

I was in love with Dior Homme, a sweet ambery twist on the orris theme. Light, floral, delicate but very present and with a beautiful trail / sillage. A perfume that people loved to smell around me when I wore it in small doses. It is a perfect perfume: fresh but not fougère like all the Hugo (...)

Reconstructing old formulas

Le 19 décembre 2007 à 14:16 sur 1000fragrances

As archaeology of fragrance seems to be a trend for 2008 I will explain some of the problems when one would "reconstruct" an old formula. For a long period of time in the history fragrances / cosmetics / medicine and a lot of other preparations were made under the same "umbrella". The birth of (...)

To try or not to try ?

Le 19 décembre 2007 à 1:25 sur 1000fragrances

In the past I did some small reviews, not very positive to the fragrances of Etat Libre d'Orange. With time I considered that I should give a new try (I love their concepts) and went today to buy their discovery kit with all their range. To my surprise at home and with my blotters (!) the (...)
