Saks Fifth Avenue For Him by Bond No.9 {Perfume Short (Review)} {New Fragrance/Advance Review} {Men's Cologne}

Saks Bond no.9_small.jpg
Saks Fifth Avenue For Him by Bond No.9 (black bottle) is the masculine counterpart to Saks Fifth Avenue For Her. This new cologne takes the route of an elegant neo-classical men’s fragrance evoking the polished woods and muffled atmosphere of a club frequented by men in crisp business suits. The scent smells typically masculine, with a fresh and spicy woody fougere signature and with some discreet up-to-date facets.......

Scandal, Unspoken, Enslaved by Roja Dove {New Fragrances}

Haute Parfumerie.jpg

 

As we started making an announcement about it the other day (see Q & A), Roja Dove is preparing to launch a trilogy of haute luxury perfumes which will include three works, Scandal, Unspoken, and Enslaved. A launch by the "Professeur de Parfums" creates a sense of anticipation and raises expectations as one will want to discover how his aesthetic ideals have been translated into these creations, which are, as advertised, the result of 30 years of experience and passion.....

Guipure & Silk, Sultane by Jeanne Arthès {Perfume Short (Reviews)}

Guipure & Silk.jpg

Jeanne Arthès is a text-book case of a business profiting from the legislative void regarding perfume authorship. With this example we see how a perfume company can thrive while investing as little as possible in the creative and research process and instead focusing all of their energies on copying, almost perfectly, original fragrances that have proven their worth in international markets. They do not attempt to be derivative; no, it goes further than that, they are masterful professional imitators that benefit comfortably from the fact that perfumes are not recognized as works of the mind and protected by intellectual property rights, except in The Netherlands.

Established in 1978, they have developed a web presence since the end of 2005. According to Cosmétique Mag, this Grasse-based family company employing 140 persons earned 26 millions Euros in 2004.......

CH by Carolina Herrera {New Fragrance}

CH Carolina Herrera.jpg

 

Following a previous announcement, Puig-owned Carolina Herrera has now unveiled their new women's fragrance called CH. Interestingly, the scent, composed by Olivier Cresp and Rosendo Mateu, does not claim to be innovative.  Rather, Puig announces up-front that it will be like taking a stroll down memory lane as the perfume "... brings together notes from all the designer’s previous scents, thereby creating an olfactory collection of memories," according to the company......

Keira Knightley for Chanel Mademoiselle Coco, Nicole Miller Fragrances, British Men are Spiffing Up {Scented Images} {The 5th Sense in the News}

Keira Knightly Chanel Poster.jpg
After several legendary beauties were hired by Chanel to front their perfume advertisements over the course of years such as Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet, and more recently Kate Moss, Keira Knightley is the new face for Mademoiselle Coco. According to Jacques Helleu artistic director of Chanel, what prompted him more than anything else to elect Knightley were her flaws, which presented him with an opportunity to play fairy god-mother to Cinderella. The new advert where Keira Knightly poses naked, chastely clasping a bowler hat over her breasts closely references the theme of one of the adverts that was shot with Kate Moss, Keira's immediate predecessor. We could start calling them the girl-with-the-necklace-and-hat series...

{Perfume Q & A} with Kathy of Colonial Drug - Tastes of Summer: 2007 Bestseller Summery Fragrances

Colonial Drug Window Display.jpg
Kathy B. is the owner of Colonial Drug, a perfume store established in 1947 in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an institution both at the very local level and at the regional one. The shop easily evokes a jewelry box that would have been filled to the brim with fragrance bottles and grooming items (for pets as well) instead of gems and pearls. This image is quite literal as a matter of fact as the very top shelves of the store, the ones which seem to be an arm-length away the ceiling, are covered with giant factices of some of the most famous perfumes in the world and other shelves are touching the ceiling (see link for picture of the towering shelves). Colonial Drug is like an overfilled cornucopia of hard-to-find fragrances and as Kathy indicated when I asked her over the telephone (they do not do emails) what had been the summer of 2007 bestsellers so far, there was no clear bestseller because their customers order or come in to look for special and unique fragrances. There were rather several bestsellers that met with the favor of the public........

More on Colonia Intensa by Acqua Di Parma {New Fragrance} The Neo-Virile Trend {Trend Alert}

Colonia Intensa.jpg

 

As previously announced, from the venerable, upscale, and well-loved Italian brand Acqua Di Parma created in 1916, comes next month a new perfume called Colonia Intensa, which will represent their first historic foray into the explicit masculine categorization of a scent. This launch comes within a market context where masculine customers are perceived as a new driving force in perfume sales encouraging a neo-virile trend in the design of fragrances, which are being trimmed of their ambiguous, unisex references......
