Thé Rouge candle by Mariage Frères, $65 Speaking of candles today. This time it is not a perfume that a celebrity loves to wear but one that actress and designer Milla Jovovich loves to burn and offer to friends. And that is Thé Rouge by Mariage Frères. She says in the November issue of Allure (p. 154) that, "It has a really beautiful spicy scent that's perfect for the holidays. I like to give pricier candles as gifts because they aren't the type of thing people buy for themselves." You can find it at Aedes de Venustas. The candle burns for 50 hours.
Siwa, Lalibela, Sundance, Inlé, each 50 ml flacon, 80 € or US $113.80
A new Parisian niche perfumery called Memo will open its doors on November 15 2007, rue des Saint-Pères, Paris 6ème, Tel: 01-42-22-96-63. Its founder is Clara Molloy who wanted to create a line dedicated to translating very special travel places into perfumes.

Isabella Blow and Alexander Mc Queen "Burning Down The House" by David LaChapelle, 1997
Fashion icon, editor, and talent scout Isabella Blow (1958-2007) died on May 6th 2007 after committing suicide by drinking a weedkiller, just like her father-in-law had done previously. You can read a summary of her troubled life here. She was closely associated with the successes of milliner Philip Treacy and designer Alexander Mc Queen, whom she helped gain recognition although it was acknowledged at the same time that she did not get the financial rewards she could have hoped for, for her efforts while her protégés did. I have a picture of Isabella Blow that I have been meaning to illustrate with a review of the perfume Habanita by Molinard as this particular image (not shown here) immediately suggested this smoky deep fragrance as a perfect fit for her look. In fact not recognizing her at first, I thought the picture was from the 1920s. I learned today that her signature perfume was somewhat different, no less intense, but more floral. It was the celebrated Fracas by Piguet........

Ilaya by Isabel Derroisné, 49 € or US $ 70 (now 29 € or US $ 41.45)
Ilaya is the latest perfume by Isabel Derroisné. It is presented as an incense and coffee perfume offering, "sensual ancestral notes" such as myrrh, frankincense, benzoin and "contemporary notes" such as a moka coffee accord. The scent is said to offer a velvety oriental texture (from our previous post).
The perfume was composed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette of Robertet who has also created recently Fougère and Poudré by Jovoy. Ilaya seems to be a perfect fit for the colors of fall and the quest for hushed-down warmth and sensuality. Past the opening, which feels more like a light hors-d'oeuvre than a real glimpse of things to come with its citrusy, aromatic, yet somewhat crunchy-green notes too of bergamot, ginger, and cardamom, Ilaya offers the feel of a soft amber-y oriental next. It develops along the way a certain reverberative character, lift, and resonant aspect that one associates usually with chypre fragrances. The oriental character of the fragrance is thus a bit dual and more aerial than usual.....
