Viaggi e Profumi.jpg

 

Duo of authors Luigi Cristiano and Gianni De Martino have written a book entitled Viaggi e Profumi (Urra, 2007) (Travels and Perfumes). It is a descriptive and sensualist travelogue through space and even time in quest of iconic natural essences produced in specific world-renowned locales.

New Line of Eau De Vie Fragrances {New Perfumes}

Eau de Vie _ Vapo.jpg

 

Take notice, a new cohort of comfort perfumes has arrived in town. Eau De Vie is a new line of fragrances that proposes scents based on gourmand, near-edible notes. The collection, carried exclusively by Sephora, comprises sinfully rich Whipped Cream, Pina Colada, Almond, Capuccino With Cream, Chocolate And Mint, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Coconut. The packaging is simple, minimalist, slightly niche and edgy, like simpler Keiko Mecheris. They are priced to fly off the shelves, $18 for a 1.7 oz spray bottle of eau de toilette. You are encouraged to layer them, but not to lick them.

Secrets D'Essences Iris Noir by Yves Rocher {New Perfume} Galore of Iris Perfumes {Trend Alert}

Iris Noir_Pierre Claiverole.jpg
Yves Rocher have announced that the third Secrets D'Essences after Voile D'Ambre and Rose Absolue will be dedicated to the supremely elegant iris flower with a fragrance called Iris Noir (Black Iris). Lately, several significant launches have honored the bloom or are about to, pointing to an iris comeback as if every perfumer wanted to try their hands at an iris fragrance (often associated with a fashionable and noticeable note of fruity and musky ambrette seed): Ormonde Jayne Orris Noir, Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile, Chanel no 18, more discreetly in the heart of Miller Harris Fleurs de Sel, also Prada Infusion d'Iris, Guerlain Iris Ganache, and the upcoming L'Occitane Iris, Parfum d'Empire Equistrius and L'Artisan Parfumeur Iris Pallida 2007. Black flowers are also very in with the trend having been particularly well exemplified by Tom Ford fragrances, starting with Black Orchid......

Ess Bouquet by The Crown Perfumery Co. {Perfume Review & Musings}

essbouquet.jpg

 
ESS Bouquet by The Crown Perfumery Co., as one of the oldest English fragrances to exist, is one of those perfumes steeped in history and antique exotic tastes that require further investigation and elucidation to fully appreciate. First we have to address the meaning of its name, which sounds a bit puzzling to the modern ear: “Ess Bouquet” we learn from Septimus Piesse writing in 1857 is but the contraction of the word “essence of bouquet”. The original recipe for the scent, by an anonymous London perfumer, is recorded as early as 1711 and by the time Piesse writes his The Art of Perfumery in the mid-19th century this original date has been forgotten and the much imitated perfume formula is attributed to, not its rightful creators whoever these may be, but rather to its famous developers, Bayley and Co., established 1739. Septimus Piesse thus mistakenly attributes the paternity of Ess Bouquet to its most celebrated makers at the time,

 “The reputation of this perfume has given rise to numerous imitations of the original article, more particularly on the continent. In many of the shops in Germany and in France will be seen bottles labelled in close imitation of those sent out by Bayley and Co., Cockspur Street, London, who are, in truth, the original makers.”.......

Murmure by Van Cleef & Arpels (2002) {Perfume Short (Review)}

Murmure_Van Cleef & Arpels.jpg

 
Murmure (Murmur) by Van Cleef & Arpels was launched in the fall of 2002, which is slightly surprising given its very suggestive summery and sunny overtones of dewy, juicy Jasmine Sambac, the best recreation of it that we have smelled so far with A La Nuit by Serge Lutens. It immediately transports the perfume wearer to the middle of a noisy Bangkok street on a hot asphalt-y day where sellers of tightly woven fragrant jasmine garlands shout their wares to car drivers shut up in air-conditioned cars, who will maybe roll down their windows to buy and place the exquisitely scented blooms punctuated with red or yellow flowers on their rear-view mirror......
