Lanvin Jeanne (2008) and Jeanne La Rose (2010): Part 1 - The Scent of High Fashion, Suavissime Soap and Back {Perfume Reviews} {New Fragrance}

Jeanne can offer a beautiful, simple connotation as a first name. It is the feminine pendant of "Jean" which like Pierre and Paul are de facto household given names in (Christian) Europe. Jeanne is the name of historical French heroine, Jeanne d'Arc, and evokes for those who have seen the masterpiece, the beautiful cinematography of Dreyer's Protestant-looking 1927 imagery about the saint. It is also the first name in translation of Jane Austen. It is furthermore, to go back to more immediate connections, the first name of couturière Jeanne Lanvin after which the perfume is named and to whom it pays homage in an updated yet faithful mode...

Laura Tonatto Notte a Taif (2010) {New Perfume} E Duse is Back & New e-Commerce {Fragrance News}

It is with pleasure that I am able to report that independent Italian perfumer Laura Tonatto has now a new website which functions as an international e-commerce. It was until recently difficult to come by her fragrances unless you were in Rome or Turin.

To make the news even more delightful, I see that the lovely violet composition that is E Duse, a perfume which is a homage paid to the great actress Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) is back in her catalog.

One of Tonatto's specializations which is conducted through her workshop Naso e Parnaso is historical interpretative work in compositions inspired by famous historical figures or even works of art. In 2005, for example, she created a perfume based on the painting The Lute Player by Caravaggio for the Hermitage Museum...

Les Parfums de Rosine Secrets de Rose (2010): Dinner with Chamade, with Notes on Patrimonial Perfumes {Perfume Review} {Rose Notebook}

Secrets de Rose (Rose Secrets) is the 16th rose composition by Les Parfums de Rosine which specialize in sculpturing the different facets and interpretations of the queen of flowers. It was created in 2009 based on particular qualities of natural rose and labdanum ingredients and launched this January-February 2010. This time, one is offered a dark-rose interpretation, the scent of "a rose dressed in black,' which was made to feel more shadowy thanks to notes of prune, licorice, amber resin and labdanum while being spiced up with saffron, ylang and cumin.

It is also, as it turns out, what l would like to term an affective patrimonial perfume, a composition destined to noses who can appreciate the continuities of the living history of perfume, this olfactory historiography found throughout contemporary compositions rather than in the pages of history books...

Celine Dion Simply Chic (2010) {New Perfume} {Celebrity Fragrances}

Celine Dion, who strikes you as someone who could appeal to very different constituencies for different reasons - there is a counter-cultural streak in her despite her classic voice-based diva popularity (unconventional beauty, much older husband-mentor, unusual stage-kid past...) - proposes to draw a consensus on style with her new perfume called Simply Chic...

Hermès Voyage d'Hermès (2010) {New Perfume}

{A fragrance review of Voyage d'Hermès Eau de Toilette has been added to the blog!}

Hermès will launch a new major perfume for them in April 2010 called Voyage d'Hermès. The scent is part of the group of perfumes called "parfums-romans" (perfume-novels) dedicated to retelling the story of Hermès's patrimony.

In a subtle evolution and interesting shift of policy of the house which had been giving extended free rein to their in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena in the last year or so, they submitted to him this time a minimal one-word brief. As they put it, it is a carte blanche with a name on it...

Donna Karan Pure DKNY (2010) {New Perfume}

{A fragrance review of Pure DKNY was added to the blog!}

From February 2010, Donna Karan will launch a new women's scent called Pure DKNY named after one of their clothing lines but which most of all wants to affirm a certain way of life. The tag line is "Go Pure." A promotional website is already available in Spanish which invites online viewers to water a green plant before being able to access the video depicting the universe of Pure DKNY. It resembles a romantic family photo album portraying a happy couple in love and their child all bathed in a pure white light in an indefinite ethereal world set in a loft-apartment with glimpses of early spring and New York City....

Michael Todd Swingle (2010): Whichever Way You Swing {New Perfume}

I wanted to present these perfumes to you because I find it so interesting that perfume is more that an assemblage of aromatic drops but reflects the preoccupations of society as well. Here the main distinguishing feature calling our attention is that Michael Todd has thought about all the sexes, or nearly so...
