Eat, Pray, Love Contest: Win a Trip to NYC + a Custom Blend by Lev Glazman {Contests & Giveaways}


vintage-postcard.jpgAnother way of drumming up interest for the Eat, Pray, Love universe just before the movie releases is not only to sell perfume, co-brand with enthusiasm, but also, and why not, make you feel a bit like the heroin of the book. Except that instead of coming back home with your love, you get the next best thing, a perfume (I am kidding, I think. I'm not that rabid about perfume.)

Fresh have organized a contest where they invite participants to tell the story of a privileged sensorial journey. The winner will have a bespoke fragrance created just for her or him after having met with Fresh co-founder Lev Glazman...

Diptyque Vétyverio (2010) & Guerlain Vétiver pour Elle (2007): Looking Back at Niche Perfumery & Guessing the Sex of Vetiver {Perfume Review & Musings} + 5 Samples Draw




vetyverio-B.jpg
Overview of Niche Perfumery Diptyque & Personal Reminiscences


V-letter-TSS-quaint-B.jpgVetyverio is the latest opus by Diptyque one of the earliest so-called "niche" perfume houses to have been established in the 1960s in Paris with this original phenomenological meaning of offering confidential and unusual perfumes which are not known by the wider public but whose existence becomes impossible to ignore among connoisseurs. It so happens, maybe not coincidentally due to this historical precedence, that the Diptyque boutique tucked away on a quiet stretch of the Boulevard Saint-Germain not far off Place Maubert came to represent my first-time entry-point to this universe of half-hidden scents whose existence you learn of by word of mouth. L'Autre (1973) was my first Diptyque love and purchase, smelt initially on a friend of the family.

Diptyque was founded in 1961 but first sold textiles and wallpaper, then home decoration before turning to scented candles in 1963 and launching their debut fragrance in 1968, L'Eau. Many Diptyques of the early days are signed by perfumer Serge Kalouguine who also worked later for the Laura Tonatto perfume house and is attached to Fragonard in Grasse....
