HH Maharaja Sir Rajendra Narayan Singh Deo (1912-1975) and HH Maharani Kailash Kumari of Patna Maharanih is the latest creation by Patricia de Nicolaï, nose and founder together with her husband Jean-Louis Michau, of Parfums de Nicolaï, a Parisian niche perfume house created in 1989. Overview of the Line In a milieu where heredity and tradition still play an important role, it is not irrelevant to point out that Patricia de Nicolaï is a member of the Guerlain family. What is less conventional is that as a woman she decided to pursue a career as a perfumer, a decision that was initially met with skepticism by the Guerlains.....

 Following a growing trend of highly exclusive perfume launches to revive the watered-down notion of prestige fragrances nowadays as well as one of parallel collections of perfumes to commercial ones meant to embody the artistic, more risk-taking approaches that mainstream perfume houses can take (see Hermessences), Chanel will market a collection of 10 fragrances in a line called Les Exclusifs de Chanel. The 6 new perfumes added to the existing exclusive boutique collection which includes the 4 Cuir de Russie, Bois des îles, Chanel no 22, and Gardenia were created by nose Jacques Polge who is the author of many splendid fragrances like Ungaro Diva, Chanel Coco, Chanel Egoïste, Chanel Allure, to name only a few.....

I just read a great interview with beauty editor Linda Wells on Hello Dollface! She mentions in it that Chanel will be introducing a new perfume in February of 2007. It is called Chanel 28 La Pausa named after the resort residence of Coco Chanel in the town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin located on the French riviera. The villa was originally built for her by her then lover the Duke of Westminster. Source: Hello Dollface!

The Scented Salamander is delighted to introduce French designer Olivier Durbano. Apart from being a talented jewelry designer, Durbano is also a perfume designer and has developed the concept of a collection of perfumes inspired by his lapidary art called Parfums de Pierres Poèmes (Perfumes of Stones Poems). His first fragrance was called Cristal de Roche (Rock Crystal); he is going to release a second scent in 2007 called Améthyste (Amethyst). These fragrances are part of a project to create 7 different scents inspired by 7 different stones. Symbolism and philosophy preside over his creative process inviting us to look at perfumes in a renewed manner. His fragrances call us back to a state of naturalness and limpid contemplation where things are experienced rather than analyzed. In this manner, his perfumes individually bear no identifying names but contain in each flacon three marbles of the stones by which they were inspired and are colored the same colors as those. The interrelationship of perfumes and stones was intriguing to us. Olivier Durbano has accepted to answer our questions. TSS:
You are known first and foremost as a jeweler or jewelry designer. Are perfumes for you yet another means of expression that stands apart or is it a reflection, an illustration if you will, of your vision of the art of jewelry-making? In other terms would you say that you are attempting to transcribe stones into perfumes or is there something unique to perfume that cannot be expressed by a jewelry piece and which motivates you in seeking out a complementary artistic medium? Why create a perfume and not a piece of embroidered textile for example?
Olivier Durbano:
After I completed my training in architecture, I quickly became involved in the creation of jewelry pieces, especially necklaces, which are already rich with history and symbols. Stones, which were very important during my childhood resurfaced fascinating me with their naturalness, their truth, their imperfections, their power or their symbolism.....

 After launching Le Mâle in 1994, Jean-Paul Gaultier is now ready to introduce a second fragrance in the franchise. The new perfume Fleur du Mâle - a play on the name of Charles Baudelaire's collection of poems, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) - will retain part of the name as well as the shape of the flacon of Le Mâle but otherwise will be very different. Le Mâle, it is worth noting, represents more than 5% of the European Masculine fragrance market.....
