Senke is a brand new cosmetics and perfume brand founded by Priska Sarraméa, a beauty industry veteran who has worked for Gucci, Carolina Herrera, and Escada in the past. Senke is inspired by the ethical preoccupations derived from the ecological issues we all face at the dawn of the 21st century. More specifically the organic cosmetics and perfume line is based on research on the natural properties of trees; their products are eco-certified.
Bois Contre Soi (Wood Against Self) is an eau de parfum translating the philosophy of the house and is described as "An original organic creation, a unique composition, a name with a French touch".......

Designer of mainly men's wear John Varvatos has announced a 2008 perfume launch that is a first for the brand, a women's fragrance simply called John Varvatos Eau de Parfum. It comes after a debut fragrance in 2004, John Varvatos (see review) and a second masculine cologne in 2006 with John Varvatos Vintage. The women's perfume was also entrusted to the talent of perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux who composed the previous fragrances.........

The Great Korea perfume is leading Lee Myung Bak to victory; the flacon may not look too fancy but the juice itself has reportedly been made to feel irresistible. Photo Dec 12, 2007 © Reuters/Jo Yong-Hak
In Korea, presidential front-runner Lee Myung Bak must have a keen nose and believe in the powers of olfaction like no other since his campaign staff has decided to implement a very unusual strategy for "branding" the candidate's image. Drawing on marketing experience and department-stores' olfactory branding of which Korea is an early practitioner, the idea has been taken a step further by attempting to associate feelings of "hope, victory, passion" with a perfume called Great Korea that was secretly sprayed at public gatherings and will be again sprayed when voters enter the polling booths. Obviously no law forbids this type of political manipulation since it has never been done before (?) and can be accounted as one more publicity tool or can it be?..........

Dear Readers, Part II of our interview with Douglas Hopkins is postponed until Tuesday Dec 18, next week. We've asked him further questions and he will take the time to answer them more thoroughly. But the patient ones will be rewarded with an upcoming %15 code off the Douglas Hopkins & Co fragrances to be available on their new website! This weekend we hope to post part II of our review of Skarb as well as our review of Brin de Réglisse by Hermès! Best Scented Wishes, Marie-Hélène
Gris coulée de Loire à la trace ocre by Olivier Debré, 1987 The Hermessence collection, which now includes Brin de Réglisse (it becomes lit. "strand of licorice" without the "un" at the beginning), is the most exclusive of the perfume lines offered by the house of Hermès. While a feminine Hermès fragrance distributed through department-stores channels will be produced at 300 000 to 400 000 copies, an Hermessence is limited to 5000 copies only and tightly distributed in the 90 Hermès boutiques worldwide. Jean-Claude Ellena, the Hermès in-house perfumer, has stressed that the Hermessence range does not offer better quality ingredients than the more widely distributed fragrances but that it does offer a different approach to the art of perfumery. In this more elitist perfume collection addressing itself to a smaller public of "true connoisseurs", the perfumer is allowed more freedom of expression and can propose what he calls some "exercises of style" writing each time "a short story around a raw material". Ellena has explained that what he tries to do for each Hermessence is to "transform" the raw material used and very much in keeping with a Baudelairian vision of perfume, to propose at the same time to embark on an olfactory voyage........

 Voluspa has released two new scents in its Victoria Collection called Fleur de Café and Malayan Coco. The first one is a blend featuring notes of "African Coffee Flower, spiced Chai Tea, fresh Crème, and chopped Vanilla Bean." Malayan Coco also develops a gourmand theme with "Coconut Milk Accord, shaved Coconut Bark, rich Sandalwood, and eastern Hinoki Wood." Did we say that the greatest fresh coconut jam on earth is to be found in Malaysia? If only the perfume could smell like it!
Each scent is presented in a 0.5 oz roll-on available for $24 at Nooks and Niches.
The New Camaldoli Hermitage located in Big Sur, California is reputed for baking one of the best brandy-dipped fruitcakes in America and if you listen to the friars talking about it, it is quite frankly the best. They did comparative testing. Last year the fruitcakes were so popular they had to increase the production from 6000 to 8000 loaves........

 Perfume remains the gift of choice during the Holiday season and women are the biggest buyers. According to the NPD Group, which is quoted in an article in the Los Angeles Times, "More than Valentine's Day and Mother's Day combined, this is the season when scents translate into cents for the $3.96-billion fragrance industry. It pulls in a third of its annual revenue in December and 20% of the year's total in just the two weeks before Christmas, said Karen Grant, a beauty industry consultant for marketing information company NPD Group."
