Bonne Fête du 14 Juillet! Happy Bastille Day!
As announced earlier, Robert Piguet's classic fragrance from 1963, Cravache (Riding Crop), will be re-launched in October of 2007 having been reportedly rebalanced to better suit modern tastes while respecting the heritage of the house. It follows the recent re-introduction and reformulation of Baghari last year, while Fracas and Bandit had been already relaunched, respectively in 1996 and 1999. Cravache is described as "an aromatic infusion of citrus and woods [which] embodies Robert Piguet's sense of refined sophistication and quality.......

 As announced earlier, Robert Piguet is preparing to re-launch one of the classic fragrances from its catalogue called Visa, a perfume which debuted in 1945 and was created by celebrated perfumer Germaine Cellier. The jus "has been rebalanced to blend modern radiance and retro glamour." It will be part of a duet launch together with Cravache. The perfumer responsible for the reformulation is Aurélien Guichard who also took care of modernizing Baghari, reissued last year. Previously, Fracas and Bandit had been reintroduced as well, in 1996 and 1999 respectively......

There is an article on the Fragonard perfumery in Grasse in the New York Times today: “We are a very small company, and we have the luxury to decide what we want and when we want it,” said Agnès Costa-Webster, who, along with her sisters, Françoise and Anne Costa, now runs the business her great-grandfather, Eugène Fuchs, founded in 1926. “I'll think, ‘Well, that would smell good for men if we mix some woods with some raspberry,' and then I speak with the nose and we start thinking about the name and the packaging. Everything is done following our own soul.”
Grasse, France: Parfumerie Fragonard Read our review of their latest prestige launch, Fragonard Billet Doux.
A trend that is not completely new in France, but has taken more significance lately is the use of old-fashioned floral scents to perfume all sorts of foodstuffs ranging from pastries and drinks to yoghurts and sugar. Violet and rose scents are especially popular, but offerings can also include, jasmine, lavender or even poppy. Monin offers delicately scented flower syrups and Quai Sud proposes floral sugars.....

 Coty has announced that it has signed a licensing deal with Karl Lagerfeld to develop a line of signature fragrances. It will continue to distribute the existing Karl Lagerfeld perfumes.
Fashion label Luciano Soprani will launch a women's fragrance in September of 2007 in Italy called D Luciano Soprani. The "D" letter stands for Donna (Woman). The fruity-floral perfume was created by Pierre Bourdon of Fragrance Resources. The EdP is priced €47 for 50ml and €64 for 100ml. (Sources: Women's Wear Daily, Cosmetic News, New Yorker)
 E. Coudray is one of the oldest perfumeries still in existence. It was established in 1822 by chemist-doctor Edmond Coudray under the reign of Louis XVIII, 6 years before Guerlain. In September of 2007, E. Coudray will launch a new fragrance called Esperys, the 7th addition to their current catalogue.....

3121 by Prince is a big va va voom of an exotic floral scent. If it were not for that sense of calculated excess and amplified decibels where the floral notes and sexual indoles are concerned, it would be a plain ol’ romantic classic white floral perfume fit for a dainty Southern belle made easily faint by the humid heat....

Coty Prestige has announced today that they have signed a deal with actor Ewan McGregor to become the face for the new upcoming Davidoff men's perfume that will debut at the beginning of 2008.....

Without further ado, here is our Musk Hall of Fame list that offers short and longer reviews of eminent musk perfumes and our very favorite ones (at the end). • Auric Blends Love
A subtle clean yet warm musk oil perfume with woodsy undertones
• Auric Blends Egyptian Goddess
The most popular perfume in the line and a mild sexy floral Egyptian musk that blooms beautifully on the skin making you think of natural flowers.
• V’Tae Egyptian Garden
It smells like a musk perfume from the Egyptian antiquity would, steeped in herbs, mysterious unguents, and secret macerated formulas. It used to be worn by a high Egyptian priestess and evokes the honey, date, and almond effluvia that wafted from her well-oiled and well-massaged body. Longevity is so-so.
• Gap Musk
A clean discreet, and lightly sweet white musk oil.
• Coty Wild Musk Oil
The oil, we think, is better than the alcohol-based versions. A sweet woodsy musk oil reminiscent of high school dates for many people.
• Kiehl's Original Musk Oil
This is another classic musk oil that we also prefer in the oil-based formula. It was discovered abandoned in a turn-of-the-century to 1920s vat labelled "Love Oil" in the basement of Kiehl’s, established 1851. Everyone went crazy for it decades later. A musk oil with a marked floral lily of the valley facet, which is a natural phenomenon associated with musk in small quantities.......
