Fragrant Shopping: Perfume Bottles Sculpture by Pierre Dinand

sculpture_pierre dinand.jpg

 

 

Pierre Dinand after designing perfume bottles for 40 years has turned to sculpture. You can visit his site to learn more about the master's work and even purchase a small version of a bronze sculpture conceived of as the integration of several famous fragrance flacons into one unique brute form. Personally, I love it and find the price surprisingly reasonable!

The original work can be seen at the Oita Kaori-no Mori perfume museum in Kiushu, Japan. The smaller replica of the sculpture is sold for $200.

The finalists for the Duftstars 2007 for women's and men's perfumes in each of the four newly redefined categories were announced in Germany. The Duftstars are the equivalent of the US Fifi Awards. Ursula Ackermann of Perfumery Douglas said they were happy to be able to report, paraphrasing the traditional annoucement for the election of a new Pope, that they had finally come up with the nominees "Habemus Nominees".

The jury, reportedly, was particularly focused this year in a context of higher expectations while using for the first time the new competition categories designed by the Fragrance Foundation Germany. The new four categories are: Exclusiv (niche) , Prestige, Lifestyle, Klassiker. The winners will be announced in March 2007.

The crystal trophy was designed by Pierre Dinand and represents two pillars showcasing a drop.

And the list of nominees (without the Price of the Public) are...

{Perfume Quote of the Day} from Tom Ford:

tomford.jpg

 

"Compared to other things I do, creating perfumes is relatively painless. Sometimes you kill yourself for designs, a shirt that's gone in a season and then the collection is over and you have to think of something new. There's something nice about the permanence of fragrance. Think how great the guy who developed Opium must feel -- it's still great, it's still out there, it's still going."

Note: Jean-Louis Sieuzac created Opium  in 1977.
