The Lobogal brand has released three new perfumes, Lobogal Pour Lui, Lobogal Pour Elle, and Lobogal Gold. The brand is relatively recent having been established in 2004 in Paris by the French company BGL-Beauté. The perfumes were created by noses Pierre Bourdon and Valérie Garnuch and the bottles were designed by Thierry Lecoule. Pierre Bourdon is the author among others of YSL Kouros (1981), Davidoff Cool Water (1988), Dior Dolce Vita (1995), Frédéric Malle Iris Poudre (2000), Escada Magnetism (2003), and Franchesco Smalto Fullchoke (2005). Pour Lui is said to be composed with an "...exotic bouquet of spices from the past, bringing to memory the flavor of the herbal liqueurs which the monks were producing for centuries behind the walls of their monasteries. The extract of whiskey and the way it is used in the olfactory composition adds a true revolutionary spirit, emphasizing both its classical and extravagant nature." Top notes are apple, bergamot, pineapple, white pepper, juniper berries, tangerine, ginger, nutmeg, red pepper. Heart notes are jasmine, lavender, muguet, and violet. Base notes are ebony, mahogany, vetiver, and musks...

 The latest fragrance by Miller Harris, L'Air de Rien, was just recently launched in London. The nose behind the perfume is Lyn Harris. The new fragrance is dedicated to British actress Jane Birkin who is also French by adoption. We love the comments Birkin makes around her perfume and so we're reproducing them here from Vogue UK:...

 Briefly, Demeter will issue five brand new fragrances this fall between September and October 2006: Demeter Baby Powder, Fierry Curry, Red Head in Bed (hmmm, how is that suppose to smell? I hope it's not an allusion to anything I shouldn't be mentioning here), Ginger Cookie, and Barrier Reef. Now that picture is suggesting to me a variation on Demeter Baby Powder... how about Demeter Vintage Baby Powder in 1955 with Rusted Tin & Old Paper in 2007? (this is an indirect homage paid to Christopher Brosius) Oh, the possibilities! It's endless, simply endless my friends.
A 1 oz. eau de toilette retails for $19.
 The Piguet brand just released its re-edition of one of the classic scents from the catalogue of the former Parisian couture house of Robert Piguet following Bandit and Fracas. The original Baghari, named after the evocative name of an Indian town, was initially introduced in 1950, a year before the closure of the Piguet fashion house due to the designer's frail health. Piguet died two years later. (The reformulated Baghari on the left in the parfum concentration). I had acquired a small flacon of the vintage fragrance created by perfumer Francis Fabron in parfum concentration and was eager to compare it with the newer version in eau de parfum which was "rebalanced" by nose Aurélien Guichard of Givaudan. Judging from an advertisement I saw, the shape of my bottle is the same as one that was still commercialized around 1967. Aurélien Guichard is also the author of Love in Paris by Nina Ricci, Les Belles-Cherry Fantasy by Nina Ricci, and Chinatown by Bond no 9. In 2005, the young Grasse-born perfumer was recognized by the Fashion Group International and named one of its Rising Stars. The new Baghari is a lovely powdery and flowery concoction with discrete aldehydes giving it vibrancy. After the initial burst of fresh, aromatic notes it develops depth revealing a more sensual indolic heart where the jasmine rounds off the fragrance. A mix of slightly candied notes unfolds on a deeper sensual background composed of amber, vanilla, and musk. More austere woodsy notes such as vetiver, violet, and iris balance out the sweetness of the perfume. The drydown leaves a trail of powdery softness...

 I called Thierry Mugler today and learned a few interesting things. First of all, Le Parfum will be a very limited edition of perfumes. The charming young woman with whom I conversed (thank you!) said that there would be 1300 copies of the perfume caskets issued in the world total of which only 100 to 150 caskets of perfumes would be available for retail.
Le Parfum Collector Edition will be sold by subscription only through the Thierry Mugler website dedicated to Das Parfum (you can listen to the music of the film there) and the subscription will open on September 15 2006. The price for one casket is 550 Euros...

Bond no 9 whose collection of perfumes is based on narratives about New York neighborhoods will premiere in France in November in three select Sephora stores: Sephora at the Champs-Elysees in Paris, in Cannes, and in Monte Carlo, Monaco. 21 of the 26 fragrances will be available for retail.The Bond no 9 fragrances are already available in Europe in Austria and Germany and in Great Britain at Harrods in London.

 Oscar de la Renta has opened a new e-tailer website. Fragrances that are made directly available from the brand are: Oscar Crystal Parfum, Oscar Eau de Toilette, Intrusion Eau de Toilette, So Eau de Toilette, Pour Lui, and Oscar Mens. The house of Oscar de la Renta offers a selection of beautiful ultra-feminine romantic perfumes. This is a good reminder, I think, that we ought to revisit their line. That also reminds me that I need to put together a list of uber-feminine perfumes for TSS. Source: Women's Wear Daily
 The duo of Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana has unveiled its latest women's fragrance, The One. It is described as an oriental floral and is said to be"... targeted at core Dolce & Gabbana women, who have a strong personality, are very sexy, with trend-setting status [...]. The fragrance is described as long-lasting, iconic and memorable.
The top features notes of mandarin, bergamot, peach and muguet, while the heart is a blend of lily, jasmine, plum and vetiver. The base includes vanilla, amber and musk." Source: The Moodie Report
As previously reported here and here, the casket of perfumes that Thierry Mugler is issuing for the launch of the movie Das Parfum based on Patrick Suskind's movie will be indeed a much sought-after collector's item. A maximum of 150 copies will be sold, out of the 1300 copies issued. I wanted to add the information that these perfumes are not meant to be worn in priority especially so since all the aromas contained in the palette of perfumes do not smell conventionally good. As readers of the novel are well aware certain passages of the story are supposed to evoke stench rather than pleasant odors. Christophe Laudamiel and Christophe Hornetz have thus operated under the assumption that smells recreated from Das Parfum are beyond good and evil...
