 Crabtree and Evelyn have expanded their collection of soliflores entitled the Floral Fragrance Collection with the addition of Rosewater, Lavender and Lily (for lily of the valley.) Last year, they launched Iris.
I am not sure whether we can still say that soliflores are a little quaint since they seem to be around quite a lot. There would be nonetheless the closet soliflores like Chloé EDP, By Kilian Love & Tears, Surrender and as in the case of Crabtree and Evelyn, the open ones...

 The musk-perfume collection built overtime by American fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez since the launch of his bestseller Narciso Rodriguez for Her in 2003 has redefined a portion of what our olfactory expectations for musk are in today's society. Inspired by youth memories in Cuba, but also it has been said by the predilection of late celebrity client Caroline Kennedy for Egyptian musk, Narciso Rodriguez has contributed to musk trails becoming sweeter, fruitier, more solar and cleaner.
With the latest iteration, Essence Eau de Musc, a flanker to Essence by Narciso Rodriguez (2009), the musk note has become even more the paradoxical sign of crisp and clean by being associated more unequivocally with the genre of the fresh, neo-traditional Eau de Cologne recreating the sensation of cooling in the shade of orange blossom trees in the summer...

British lingerie brand Agent Provocateur have released a new flanker to the original Agent Provocateur launched in 2000 - now called Agent Provocateur Signature. It is entitled L'Agent.

Shalimar Parfum Initial is part of the cultural and marketing movement at Guerlain to revamp the classics-of-the classics that the house is famous for. Its name alludes to a song by Serge Gainsbourg, Initial B. B., while evoking a first time. Other houses may have classics; Guerlain have the privilege, with Chanel, of harboring several classics-of-the-classics which are instantly recognizable. In 2007, there was Vol de Nuit Evasion, a faux flanker to Vol de Nuit and a real one to Attrape Coeur renamed Guet-Apens. In 2009 Jean-Paul Guerlain created Mitsouko Fleur de Lotus, a real flanker and a successful one at that, in my opinion, to Mitsouko. In 2010, Shalimar got ts own first new makeover since Eau de Shalimar (2008) with Shalimar Ode à la Vanille and a few months later, in 2011, Shalimar Parfum Initial. The speed is picking up as Idylle, which is not yet a classic, has already been re-invested with follow-up launch excitement with Idylle EDT and more recently Idylle Duet. The flanker policy is probably taking over that of a rethink of the classics. I would argue however that if in Shalimar Ode à la Vanille, the flanker logic was dominant - to offer a twist - with Shalimar Parfum Initial, the cultural curating that accompanies the launch of certain venerable fragrances of the house has been authentically set in motion...

Seveline is French brand of mass-marketed perfumes, part of the umbrella brand Laurence Dumont. They have released a collection of three natural and organic perfumes in the new Seveline Nature range. They are called Vanille Gourmande, Pêche Sublime and Rose Intense. This will be a great entry door to organic perfumes as they are distributed through the Casino hypermarket and supermarket chain and may inspire similar efforts elsewhere. They smell good, beg to be layered, although it seems they could still improve their staying power...
