A beautiful perfume created by the master perfumer Jean Carles. A name as an echo to designers initials and its logo. A perfume as a fingerprint with rose, chamomila, orris, castoreum and sweet oriental woody notes. A perfume treasured by Luca Turin and also described in his latest NZZFolio (...)

De la parfumerie française

Le 6 mars 2008 à 0:23 sur 1000fragrances

La parfumerie française, avant qu'elle ne devienne internationale, reposait sur le contraste et la nuance. Je crains parfois qu'à cause des grands lancements on perde quelque chose - pas tellement le caractère d'un parfum mais sa perception en dehors d'une culture (sensorielle aussi). On cite (...)
