 Masik Collegiate Fragrances founded by the Masich family in 2007 and headed by president and CEO Katie Masich who is visibly passionate about her brainchild is a company specializing in perfumes inspired by colleges and universities. From the descriptions, the perfumes sound as if above-average attention was devoted to them, rather than just being commercial pretexts. Their latest composition is inspired by Pennsylvania State University, its colors blue and white and some of the smells (all nice ones) that linger or are supposed to linger in the air around the campus. "Harrisburg-based Masik Collegiate Fragrances developed the scent and
says the Penn State perfume exudes vanilla, lilac, rose and white
patchouli. The company says the cologne smells of blue cypress and
cracked pepper vapor."...

 Described by Le Labo co-founder Fabrice Penot as a "... white ball of musk with a black, dirty center that would be the symbol of the city (L.A.)" the new Musc 25, the latest city-exclusive by the brand has finally been unveiled. The white/black contrast is supposed to evoke the paradox of the existence of sin in the city of angels.This vision was partly inspired by the song Under The Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Other notes include ambergris, patchouli, rose, amber and vetiver. A synthetic recreation of a note of human semen was added to illustrate the idea of "dirty", an idea that comes on the tail of Le Sperme Magnifique by Etat Libre d'Orange also euphemistically and officially called Sécrétions Magnifiques (however the smell of it is not euphemistic)...

 Sometimes people might think perfumistas go naked with just a drop or two of perfume under the earlobes to counteract the elements since when they use the verb "wear" it is usually followed by the words "scent", "fragrance" or "fume" and then nothing else really. But what they tell you is not true! Marylin Monroe started the rumor with her famous invisible Chanel No. 5 jammies and in fact most perfumistas can and do wear both perfume and clothes! I am sure that this will come as a realization to most of our readers,
especially since it is hard to scrutinize each others' fashion sense
online, and who knows? Maybe there are some naked people typing away on
the internet...

 Léonard has introduced a new men's cologne called Léonard Homme. Lately, and since the successes of Dior Homme (2005) and Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme (2006), "homme" has become the best name in town for a men's scent. See also Guerlain HommeIt's the new thing, the new in thing to do Before you would see a "pour homme" much more typically, "for men". Now it's simply and bluntly put, Homme, and it sounds like hombre! The more testosterone you put in the name of a perfume, the more flowers you can cram into the scent That's the new trick Next you will see a cologne called Sideburns smelling of muguet The new Léonard scent offers this interesting motto: THE MAN BEHIND THE FLOWERS (not my capitals)...

 When I read that Alberto Morillas had said about the new Bulgari Omnia Green Jade, " I thought of its colours, green with white shadows, of the energy of
this millenary gemstone, symbol of the good, the beautiful and the
precious," I finally thought it might be interesting I always find Alberto Morillas interesting, but there is interesting and Interesting I love green jade that offers a milky quality It reminds me of hunting for the right and rare shades of jade in China Being told that brown jade is for old ladies It is such a beautiful color that you want to polish it and polish it again and again Hoping to express some of its goodness and get to the core of it, perhaps ameliorate it...

I know we are supposed to go all Norman-Rockwell on each others today and wish one another a happy and warm Thanksgiving like this one, above, eyes twinkling and teeth flashing with joy But I found these photographs by Maya Elise Joseph-Goteiner as well. They were also taken on Thanksgiving day and are simply called Thanksgiving, each of them separately

 Following the launch in 2007 of a modern Vivara reinterpreting the original Vivara of 1965 and after a collector Vivara Silver Edition this fall of 2008 (shown below) that simply means to bring pleasure to perfumistas who appreciate perfume as object - and yet another psychedelic paper-weight designed by Helle Damkjaer in particular - Pucci has announced the introduction of a new trio of Vivara-inspired fragrances in March of 2009 called Sole 149, Acqua 330, Sabbia 167, part of the first installment of a collection named Vivara Variazioni...

 While organic perfumery is seen as riding the wave of the future, at the very least in terms of consumers' increasing demand, it arguably still remains both a relatively unknown and under-developed area of fragrance creation. Kibio, a beauty and perfume brand founded by Pierre Cabane and Laurent Potier just introduced Kibio Eau de Parfum touted as the first complex formulation for a perfume of its kind. The idea was to follow a classic pyramid structure, even combining two families of perfumes, the oriental and chypré one, while paying rigorous attention to the sourcing of organic materials...
