An Article On Bond No9 Coney Island In The NYT {The 5th Sense in the News}

coneyisland_NYT.jpg

There is an article on the latest perfume launched by Bond No9, Coney Island, in the New York Times. You can read our review of this savory-sweet gourmand and fruity marine scent here. If you just read the NYT article, it would sound, surprisingly, like it is just about being a fruity Tequila scent....

Breathing In Coney Island, At Just $178 A Bottle 

Un Crime Exotique by Parfumerie Générale {New Perfume}

UnCrimeExotique.jpg

 

Pierre Guillaume's Parfumerie Générale has released a new fragrance called Un Crime Exotique (An Exotic Crime), which is already available at Luckyscent, $105 for 50 ml. Apparently, this gourmand gingerbread fragrance comes from a stash of super private perfumes from the house and is deemed to be no less than"...the most unique fragrance created by this wonderful brand."

Notes are: Chinese osmanthus, gingerbread, tea, cinnamon, star anise, mate absolute, vanilla sugar, South Sea Island sandalwood.

New & New-To-The-US Fragrances by Yves Rocher: Altika, Jardins des Iles, Désir de Pivoine, Eau de Cologne Verveine {New Perfumes}

Altika.png

Yves Rocher fragrances can be surprisingly good, the more so since their price points are extremely reasonable. The brand employs excellent, even great perfumers, thus discreetly developing a democratic ideal for perfume-wearing. Not all of their scents are immediately available in the US, but when they do, it is worth trying them.

In a very timely fashion, as Father's Day on June 17 is approaching, a new men's scent called Altikä is now available in the US. It is described as a fresh woody cologne with notes of ozone, polar mint, and cedar. It is inspired by the sensation of intense mountain winds in the Alps. It retails $21 for 2.5 oz....

Report on Prince's New Perfume 3121, Le Labo Scent Le Méridien, When It Is A Good Time to Perfume Ourselves And When It Is Not, Summer Perfumes, An Interview with Frederic Malle & Pierre Bourdon {The 5th Sense in the News}

cafeparisien.jpeg

 

Nick Coleman reports on Prince's new scent 3121 and loves to use overused stereotypes when describing the fragrance. 3121 might smell like one's Grandma or French bordellos, you choose. I think that if he tried harder he could come up with "smells like Grandpa" and "smells like Nevada bordellos" and his readers would find that even more amusing and coherent....but maybe I am just being too optimistic.

Indeed, it seems that It's Not Easy To Make Sense of Prince's New Scent .....

Opus Oils: Perfume Collections From the Burlesque To The Divine {Fragrance News} {New Perfume} {Niche Perfumery Directory}

OpusOils.jpg

Opus Oils is a perfume brand based both in Hollywood and Paris, which proposes several collections of perfumes that are whimsical, narrative, and retro in their appeal. We received a press release regarding their latest creation, a burlesque fragrance called Roller Girl "inspired by our love for the rough and tumble game of Roller Derby & the beautiful, skilled & talented women that play it."

Absinthia.png

Visiting their website, we were drawn towards their for-her and for-him wormwood fragrance duo, each fragrance being respectively named Absinthia (notes of wisteria, vanilla sugar, actual absinthe...) and Absintheo (same notes, with added fig and sandalwood). In our book, it is always worthwhile to stop to smell the wormwood and get dazzled by a beautiful emerald-green color. (Read our review of Absolument Absinthe)....
