L’Heure Bleue, Fol Arome, Pois de Senteur
Le 4 février 2008 à 18:32 sur 1000fragrances
The main facets of L'Heure bleue are: orange flower (with methyl anthranilate), violet-orris, spicy, sweet & balsamic (heliotrope), woody (sandalwood) + some characteristic aspect (aromatic, rose, musky). It is a very complex perfume that has almost all the shades of the rainbow, from citrus to (...)
Disclaimer : Vintage reviews
Le 4 février 2008 à 18:30 sur 1000fragrances
This week I will focus on different vintage and very rare fragrances. Before reading I would like to make some considerations. Reviewing a very rare historical perfume has its own "risks". Most of my reviews are based on perfumes I smelled several times and that I've described already in my (...)
Chanel movie in 1921
Le 3 février 2008 à 13:13 sur 1000fragrances
In 1921 Coco Chanel, in the south of France was the star of a movie. Here, a photo with a russian countess during the set. I have never been able to find if this rare piece stille exists somewhere. Was she speaking about her new fragrance? Was this an unusual campaign? It's hard to know because (...)
It’s London time
Le 2 février 2008 à 13:06 sur 1000fragrances
While Russia and China are big economic but also cultural trends that influence the word of art/fashion/fragrance (see the latest product exhibition held by Givaudan&Symrise) British style seems to be very inspiring in 2008. Chanel presented recently their prefall collection called Paris (...)
Iris gris (II) & orris notes
Le 30 janvier 2008 à 18:31 sur 1000fragrances
Because I enjoyed very much this vintage perfume, clear as steel but soft as silk, I did some trials to understand how it was constructed. With no GC at home I based everything on my nose and my lab scale. First, some considerations. - today orris concrete (Italy or France) came in grades - 5%, (...)
Iris Gris (Jacques Fath)
Le 28 janvier 2008 à 21:16 sur 1000fragrances
Jacques Fath entered the Parisian high fashion system in 1937, continued during the war but his great moments were during the 50's the New Look Era. Until his premature death (1954) he was as famous as Dior or Balenciaga. He lacked the financial and business support that made Dior a big name, (...)
No5, No22 and No21
Le 26 janvier 2008 à 20:49 sur 1000fragrances
Today the house of Chanel is located on number 31, rue Cambon. But it's not where the whole story started. The first business run by Gabrielle Chanel (in 1910) was a millinery shop/atelier located at 21, rue Cambon. Later, in 1914 she started creating clothes and with the new money she moved to (...)
Fleeting moment - Balenciaga
Le 19 janvier 2008 à 21:09 sur 1000fragrances
Thanks to Denyse I was able to discover this almost unknown perfume from Balenciaga and enjoy this creation from Roure, credited to the greatest Germaine Cellier. Understanding old perfumes must be done with modern eyes (and revisit them) but also within their historical perspectives. The (...)

The best fragrance ever - Luca Turin
Le 14 janvier 2008 à 15:46 sur 1000fragrances
In his latest article for NZZ Folio, Luca Turin speaks about Nombre Noir, but also about the passion of a man for vintage perfumes collected via ebay. Because many bottles are sold for their artistic/design values for the perfume lover they become unaffordable. Also, with the rise of perfume (...)
