Issey Miyake has launched a new seasonal limited edition of its classic fragrance L'Eau D'Issey originally created in 1991/1992 by Jacques Cavallier. It helped define a new generation of transparent aquatic fragrances which was a hallmark of the 1990s.

Bryant Park by Bond no 9 {Perfume Review & Musings} {New Perfume} {Shopping Tip}

Bryant Park is the 28th fragrance launched by Bond no 9 and will debut on March 1st 2007. The scent pays homage to yet another area of New York city after which it is named. The jus was created by perfumer Michel Almairac and includes top notes of lily of the valley, rhubarb, pink pepper; heart notes are rose and patchouli; base notes are raspberry and amber.

Bryant Park is a slightly sharp aquatic floral rose-patchouli based scent that easily evokes spring and summer. It is a very fresh and refreshing scent with a thirst-quenching quality about it. Thinking of Bryant Park, one can readily imagine oneself being transported under the shadows of ample trees, feeling a cooling breeze caressing one's cheeks and even the delicate mist from the nearby Shaw Lowell Memorial Foutain vaporising into the air.....

Love Potions Or My Top Super Sexy Scents for Valentine's Day & Beyond {Scented Thoughts} {Perfume List} {Shopping Tips}

Valentine's Day is upon us; don't you feel the excitement? I have a date with my husband and I know what cologne I will be offering him (see below included in the list of perfume recommendations for V Day.) I have taken this opportunity to compile a list of perfumes I think are particularly sexy - men on the street tend to sniff harder around these or smile brighter smiles - or which alternatively have that reputation and that I plan to try. They are usually one of two kinds for me; either they offer a kind of dry, feminine, and sophisticated sillage which puts a certain seductive distance. Or they are perfumes that have been made to blend in particularly well with your skin. I am not referring to one's personal body chemistry but to fragrances that explicitly use ingredients or bases that enhance the scent of one's skin.

Perfumes as Love Potions

In popular parlance, terms like "love elixir" or "love philter" and even more commonly "love potion" have come to designate perfumes that have such mysterious effect ascribed to them as to be capable of arousing extreme sensual thoughts and even invite deeper amorous feelings through the sheer power of their scents. The very word "philter" speaks of love as it comes from Latin "philtrum" which borrowed the term from Greek "philtron" which in turn is derived from Greek "phileo" meaning "to love".

We see a transfer of meaning from the original notion regarding what a love potion is. Originally - and nowhere else is it more famously illustrated than in the myth of Tristan and Isolde in the West - a love potion would have had to have been ingurgitated so that the magical combination of the various ingredients contained in it would have had the effect of securing eternal love through their absorption.....

New Perfume Arrivals at Luckyscent: MDCI Perfumes, Heeley Cèdre Blanc, Anné Pliska {Shopping Tips}

You can now place pre-orders for the new MDCI line of perfumes at Luckyscent. Its owner Claude Marchal has developed five fragrances in collaboration with renowned perfumers Francis Kurkdjian, Pierre Bourdon, and Stéphanie Bakouche.

It is a great example of how the so-called luxury perfume industry can meet niche perfumery as these noses usually work for much more maisntream brand names. The lines are therefore getting blurrier between the two sectors in terms of who the creators are. For well-established noses, it is a way for them to create more personal fragrances liberated from some of the constraints of the big industry....
