International Perfume Museum to reopen
2008-08-31 01:50:00 The International Perfume Musuem (Musée international de la parfumerie) in Grasse, France, will reopen on October 18th after 4 years of renovations: Created in 1989, this one-of-a-kind museum is found in the highly symbolic City of Grasse, the cradle of the luxury perfume trade that began in France.

Perfume of the Desert | a Sufi Story
2008-08-11 09:04:00 1. The Fragrance of NothingnessAndrew Harvey in his book, Perfume of the Desert describe a sufi story from memory. It goes like this: A group of wild young Bedouins were riding in the desert with their chief, who was a religious man as well as a great leader. They came in the course of their wanderings to a vast ruined palace.The young men rode through the deserted rooms, breaking off bits of the plaster and bricks to smell what had gone into their making. One cried out, "In this clay are mixed the oils of rose and orange-blossom." Another exclaimed, "In this dirt I smell Jasmine! How beautiful!"The chief stood apart and said nothing. Towards the end when the young men finished smelling various fragrance in the clay of the ruined place, turned to the chief and ask, "And what is your favorite perfume?"He smiled and leaned as far as he could out of one of the palace windows into the empty desert wind. He reached out his hands and cupped them. Then he held out his cupped hands to the y...

Lazy Friday poll ~ your bespoke perfume
2008-06-06 21:22:00 Things I did not do this week: I did not finish the second part of Things I wish I'd known as a newbie perfumista. Nor did I finish the follow-up post to Perfumista tip: on lists of fragrance notes, why they matter & why they don't. I did, however, watch most of the first season of Flight of the Conchords (any fans?), and I made serious headway in clearing out untried perfume samples. So the week was not totally wasted. Still, here we are on Friday with nothing to post, again, so I'm taking a suggestion from reader Santemon for a poll topic: describe the custom fragrance of your dreams, and name the perfumer you'd choose to have develop it for you. I've already mentioned one of my dream perfumes. It's a "very green jasmine, bright and sparkling and just a bit indolic, over masses of dusty incense and a tiny dollop of dark woods". I am really torn on the perfumer choice, but after much thought I've decided on Daphne Bugey. Note: image of bearded iris, Two-tones (cro...

Lancome Peut-Etre ~ perfume review
2008-06-03 23:01:00 We've all been there: I was standing at the Lancôme counter at Saks Fifth Avenue and asking for a sniff of a new fragrance, in this case Lancôme Peut-Être. The sales associate said, "Ah, yes, it's so beautiful!" She sprayed it on my arm, and a few seconds later I lifted it to my nose. "What do you think?" she said eagerly. "Isn't it beautiful?" The fragrance was barely dry, and I wasn't ready to say anything about it, really. But the ambery mix I smelled wasn't what I'd expected at all, given the ad campaign touting French gardens full of roses and jasmine. "I thought it would be more floral," I said. "Oh, floral. Try this ? Mille et Une Roses. Very beautiful," she said. I had the feeling that she could be dabbing other liquids on my arm and saying, "Lysol toilet cleaner. Beautiful. You should treat yourself," while she calculated her commission. I wrassled a few drops from the tester to try later, but my first impression was that it smelled like Lorenzo Villoresi Alamut lite....

Anna Suit Dolly Girl Perfume Gift Set
2008-06-03 09:18:00 I just love this totally cool gift set by Anna Sui Dolly Girl. I bought it as a gift (for me.. who better to buy nice things for?!), and I thought it was great value for money. I've seen Anna Sui body lotion for $35 a tube and this whole set was only $75. I'm loving the Anna Sui Dolly Girl scent as well. It's really subtle and pleasant to wear. I find a lot of perfumes way too much and this is the first one I have ever bought that I genuinely can wear anytime. When I use all of the products together, I smell gorgeous. Honestly, I was walking around sniffing myself for hours the first time I used them (great look!!!)

Blue Mercury ~ Shopping for Perfume in New York
2008-05-29 23:29:00 Manhattan?s Upper West Side has never been known for its luxury shopping. It has long been famous for the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, for the Museum of Natural History, for its blocks of historic brownstones, and for Zabar?s, that peerless emporium of all things edible; but definitely not for boutiques that sell cosmetics and perfume. There have been some changes over the past year or two, however, and Blue Mercury is the latest beauty-oriented newcomer to the neighborhood. Blue Mercury is a mini-chain of beauty boutiques with a primary emphasis on skincare; accordingly, you?ll see plenty of luxury skin and hair products stocking the shelves of the Manhattan shop, as well as familiar upscale cosmetics brands such as NARS and T. Leclerc. The sales associates are skincare consultants and makeup artists rather than fragrance experts, but the scent-related merchandise is accessible enough to encourage independent browsing and spritzing. If you?ve ever visited Blue Mercury st...

Classic Perfume Advertising 1920-1970 by Jacqueline Johnson ~ perfume book
2008-05-28 17:54:00 Jacqueline Johnson's Classic Perfume Advertising features a collection of 370 color prints published in American and French magazines between 1920 and 1970. I?ve always admired the work of illustrators from the 1920s and ?30s, so when I found this book on Amazon for a little under $29, I didn't think twice about ordering it. Although there are many print ad collections on the net nowadays, I prefer to browse through them in a nice, large book. I was also curious about the stories behind these ads, the people who created them, and the impact they had on the public. How did time affect universal themes in perfume advertising, like romance, sensuality, luxury, and elegance? I had high hopes for this book, and was really looking forward to it. But when my copy finally came in the mail, I couldn?t help feeling disappointed. What you get for your 29 dollars is a book with a lot of beautiful illustrations indeed. Print ads for big houses like Coty, Guerlain, Lanvin, Lelong, Caron, Patou,...

Christina Aguilera Inspire ~ new perfume
2008-05-27 22:27:00 Christina Aguilera's second fragrance under arrangements with Procter & Gamble, and her first to be marketed in the United States, will be Inspire, due to launch this September: The new effort is meant to provide "a modern take on the Pop Art era," the influence that Warhol had on the period combined with the image of Tokyo, particularly "the energy and excitement and how the whole city feels and comes alive at night," she said. Christina Aguilera Inspire will be a tuberose-focused white floral; according to a P&G spokesperson, Aguilera "loves tuberose fragrances but they tend to be a bit heavy so we kept working on it to make it more young". Additional notes include mango, citrus, freesia, rose, gardenia, orange blossom, sandalwood and musks. Christina Aguilera Inspire will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching body products. (via wwd)

The usual perfume names
2008-05-27 22:12:00 De Swardt denies the naming of the perfumes was a deliberate strategy to court controversy. "My aim in the beginning was to have a gallery of excitement for perfumers," de Swardt says. "The names were mostly to leverage emotion from the perfumers, to get them into a true zone of sexuality and sensuality. The usual perfume names are so ubiquitous, such as Beauty or Love, that it is difficult to do something different. I didn't want to go into that commercial story, but yes, in the end the names do become that (controversial)." ?

Covet Pure Bloom by Sarah Jessica Parker ~ new perfume
2008-05-21 00:24:00 Covet Pure Bloom is the first flanker to Sarah Jessica Parker's Covet fragrance. Covet Pure Bloom is a "bright, feminine floral indulgence, a new scent that's pure paradise and a rare sensuality": Bored with roses or mixed bouquets, Parker picked the royal Indonesian pikake as the floral note at the heart of her new perfume. The notes feature purple plum, coconut water, tuberose, royal Indonesian pikake and amber creamy musks. Covet Pure Bloom is currently exclusive to the Home Shopping Network (HSN), where it is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum sold in a duo with Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely (they ship the Lovely now, the Covet Pure Bloom at some later date). It is expected to go into wider distribution in July. (first quote via hsn, second quote via msnbc, with many thanks to Dana Cerise for the tip!)

Dior Addict by Christian Dior ~ perfume review
2008-05-20 23:28:00 Christian Dior launched Addict in 2002. They were hoping the name ? and the tag line, "Admit it" ? would get attention, and they got their wish; although it had been preceded by a lipstick and nail color range under the same name, it was the perfume that got people riled up. "The advertising industry has long been drawn to the low-life look, but the French fashion house Christian Dior has taken it to new depths", noted NPR's Weekend Edition*. After months of pressure from anti-drug abuse advocacy groups, Dior dropped the tag line and replaced the early ad images that had appeared to glamorize illegal drug use. Whatever punch the name Addict had in 2002 has been largely diluted by the subsequent flankers ? Dior Addict 2 Summer Litchi, anyone? But the Addict juice, a floriental developed by perfumer Thierry Wasser, still packs a wallop. The opening is orangey citrus plus sweet (make that very sweet) vanilla, and while it announces from the outset that it is not going to be my sort o...

The Perfume We Aspire To
2008-05-19 23:05:00 Marilyn Monroe famously said all she wore to bed was Chanel No. 5. That always puzzled me. No. 5 is elegant and restrained, so ladylike, and it doesn't have half the pulchritude Marilyn does. Marilyn might have done better with No. 5's lusty cousin, Guerlain Vega. While No. 5 stares coolly as a man walks out on her (how dare he!), Vega begs tearfully for him not to go, then laughs at him when he tells her he loves her. But it occurs to me now: maybe No. 5 wasn't really what Marilyn was. Maybe it was what she wanted to be. How much of your perfume choices reflects what you aspire to, and how much reflects who you really are? I know I'd like to be a vintage Dior fragrance: elegant and unusual, like Diorella; passionate and unexpected like Dioressence; and strange and womanly like Miss Dior. Sadly, my unkempt hair alone kicks me down the perfume hierarchy to something found on the sale rack at Walgreen's. My perfume cabinet could provide years of material for a fragrance-savvy shr...

Filles des Iles Floral Solaire, Parfums de Nicolai Eau Turquoise ~ perfume
2008-05-13 01:01:00 According to my local weather forecast, it is currently "46°F Feels Like 39°F". I can vouch for the "feels like" part ? it is darned cold and dreary for May. I considered just staying in bed, but instead I thought I'd spray on a bit of the tropics today... First up, Floral Solaire (or Golden Floral), the fourth release from niche line Filles des Iles. Filles des Iles is the latest venture from the same team that brought us the strikingly unconventional fragrance Dinner by Bobo ? remember that one? It was once described, somewhere (sorry I can't remember where), as meat served by a sweaty waiter. This time around, they're doing rather conventional tropical florals, which presumably have more widespread appeal. Floral Solaire, developed by perfumer Celine Ellena, is described as "an expressive, teasing and fascinating scent", and features notes of cedrat, star fruit, tropical breeze, passion fruit, lily, tiara, orchid, flamboyant, amber, benzoin, soft sand, musk and vanilla.
