3 Limited Millésime 2006 Editions of Organza, Amarige, & Very Irrésistible by Givenchy {New Perfumes}

Givenchy is issuing three new "Récolte 2006" (Harvest 2006) limited editions of vintage batches (Millésime) of Organza, Amarige, and Very Irrésistible.These editions are each based on the showcasing of an ingredient of exceptional quality from a particular 2006 harvest. Organza will incorporate orange blossom from Nabeul in Tunisia (like the vintage L'Artisan Fleur D'Oranger 2005), Amarige will be enriched with ylang-ylang from Mayotte, and Very Irrésistible is counting on the beauty of the 2006 May rose from Châteauneuf de Grasse to bloom.

The fragrance bottles have been harmonized to appeal further to collectors and will be available in 2 oz flacons from 71 to 79 Euros from April 2 2007 at Sephora.

Flacon of YSL Paris Jardins Romantiques by Yves Saint Laurent {Scented Image} {New Perfume}

We already announced the upcoming limited edition of YSL's spring and summer version of Paris this year which is called Jardins Romantiques (Romantic Gardens). We simply had to post this picture of the adorable flacon which is decorated with views of Paris, the Eiffel Tower being in pink and the Arc de Triomphe in green. The jus promises to be colored with the same rosy and fresh green hues as it has notes of rose, lilac, lily of the valley, and cut grass.

This would make a lovely gift and souvenir from Paris 2007 with its shabby chic (more chic than shabby though) and Paris appartment charm.

It will retail for 54 Euros for a 125 ml bottle from April 2007.

It's is now available here.

Fresh has issued a new eau de parfum for the citrus lovers called Hesperides. According to Lev Glazman, CEO of Fresh Inc. it is a citrus scent meant to be tenacious: "[It] is a memorable full-bodied bouquet of citrus notes.

La Fuite Des Heures by Cristobal Balenciaga {Perfume Review & Musings}

La Fuite des Heures, also marketed under the English name Fleeting Moment, was created in 1949 by the great perfumer Germaine Cellier who also gave us Coeur-Joie by Nina Ricci, Bandit by Piguet, Elysées 64-83, Jolie Madame,Vent Vert, and Monsieur Balmain by Balmain, amongst others. Her style can be characterized as bold, forceful (Bandit, Vent Vert) yet also capable of creating infinitesimally subtle nuances (Coeur-Joie). Today, one can find traces of her more forceful, almost primitive style at times in Mona di Orio's work, while her originality can be found again in Olivia Giacobetti's creations. La Fuite des Heures contains both her primitivist and softer romantic sense of nuances.

Like the picture La Danse (The Dance) by Fauvist André Derain who was a friend of Germaine Cellier and for whom she posed, it is an ensemble of bold and graceful lines and as it turns out, seems to be colored with the same color tones: the brown of the amber, the grey of ambergris, the dark brown of leather, the chartreuse green of the anise, the darker green of thyme, the yellow of the hay, the mauve of the violet or orris, the golden hues (for me) of jasmine......

Choix by Dadadandy {New Perfume}

Succeeding to the trend of minimalism and entering an altogether entirely different territory we now have the trend of nihilism in perfumery. Actually, Dadadandy prefers to use the term "surrealism" to describe their new fragrance Choix (Choice) which is composed of an alcohol base without any superfluous scent added to it.

This conceptual fragrance is part of an exhibition at Selfridges called Surrealism & The Shop in association with Surreal Things at The Victoria & Albert Museum, London.....

Angels of Florence By Santa Maria Novella {Perfume Review & Musing}

As previously reported, Angels of Florence is a perfume that was released by the historical Italian perfume brand Santa Maria Novella in the fall of 2006 to help raise funds for the restoration of the 18 000 remaining books that are still left damaged by the flood of 1966 in Florence.

The Santa Maria Novella line of fragrances I feel a particular tenderness for as their perfumes are of the good artisanal sort of quality with a definite old-world and even at times quaint charm.....
