News in Brief: More on Sarrasins and Louve by Serge Lutens + Perfume Review by Octavian Sever Coifan {New Perfumes} {Perfume Short (Review)}

The upcoming Sarrasins by Serge Lutens, it has now been revealed, will have its jasmine-based scent colored a deep purple, hence we can now understand better that the reference to ink is partly literal as evoked by the words "petrifyingly beautiful jasmine, gloved in black ink the color of bats."

We love perfumes that frankly play with colors!

Q & A with Fabrice Penot of Le Labo: The Lowdown on Tubéreuse 40 & Kirsten Dunst {Passion for Perfume - Portrait}

Each perfume has a history and a story to tell, some more than others it seems. When we learned that Le Labo Tubéreuse 40 had been worn by Kirsten Dunst to better enter the role of Marie-Antoinette in Sofia Coppola's biopic Marie-Antoinette about the former French queen, we wanted to ask a few questions to the founders of perfume house Le Labo who created the perfume for her. Fabrice Penot (on the left on the picture), one of the two co-founders with Edouard Roschi, answers our questions.

TSS: How did it come about that Kirsten Dunst wore this perfume for her role as Marie-Antoinette in the Sofia Coppola's movie?......
