Tubéreuse 40 by Le Labo {Perfume Short (Review)} {Celebrity Fragrance}

Le Labo.jpg

The ways to a perfume are a bit intricate sometimes and we do not remember exactly how we ended up testing Le Labo Tubéreuse 40, but we do remember that suddenly we had to know more about the story behind the scent when we read that it had been created for Kirsten Dunst for her role as Marie-Antoinette in the Sofia Coppola’s movie. Without having what could be termed a “fetish” for Marie-Antoinette, we nevertheless love to follow some of her steps or rather the traces of them that she left here and there as a fashionista, a perfumista, a mother, a wife, and arguably as a martyr. So we asked some questions to the founders of Le Labo, the young, purist, and “revolutionary” perfumery that exists between Grasse and New York City. Fabrice Penot provided insights into the development of the perfume that you can read about in our Q & A conducted with him this week........

News in Brief: 3 New Annick Goutal Perfumes For This Fall {New Perfumes}

Annick_Goutal_nose_blotters.jpg
Following a plural-launch pattern that is quite trendy this year although not radically new, Annick Goutal will release three new perfumes at once in September of 2007. Since the launch is still spoken of in a bit of a hush-hush manner, all we know for right now is that perfumer Isabelle Doyen together with Camille Goutal created three fragrances based respectively on amber, myrrh, and incense. Myrrh rhymes with cashmere.... and amber and incense too it suddenly seems.

Crisis Looming for Russian Perfume Market {The 5th Sense in the News}

poster_Anti_Alcohol.jpg

Excessive alcohol consumption has been a serious long-standing problem in Russian history. Gorbachev's reform policy for curbing alcohol consumption initiated in 1985 and officially in effect on paper until 1988 was a significant landmark. As the poster shown below demonstrates (date unknown), even alcoholic pregnant women have been a concern.

The Russian government has been trying lately to curb the habit again and perfumes as they contain alcohol and people tend to drink them have become a target......
