 I had the opportunity to speak with a rep from Nina Ricci, a charming and very helpful young man by the way, and the following is the complementary information I was given. According to Nina Ricci, the possibility of purchasing the classic fragrances Coeur Joie (1946), Fille d'Eve (1952), Capricci (1961), and Farouche (1974) has always remained. The way the system works is that you need to custom-order them unless the very select perfumery you address yourself to happens to have the scent you are looking for....

 Hi-
I really enjoy your blog--I think you are doing something unique and interesting. A real pleasure to read.
I have two questions for you that may be easy for you to answer.
First, where is the Parfums de Rosine boutique in Paris; I have been told that it's in the Palais Royal, but never found it. And I have never seen the Rosines anywhere in Paris except at a Foire in the Tuileries last year, of Saveurs et Senteurs. But no one there knew where to find the Rosines in Paris either.
Also, I have been reading some of the French perfume boards, and keep seeing mention of an Amber fragrance "de chez Ecuador" and I absolutely cannot figure out what this is. Can you help?
Many many thanks,
All best
Camille Camille, many thanks for your letter, here is my answer to your query:.....

 I have realized there are so many interesting niche and even very niche perfume brands and stores out there that need to have the spotlight on them more that I have decided to compile a specialized directory of niche perfumeries (both of the brands themselves and of the stores carrying those niche perfume brands). Eventually I will add the big perfume houses but since these are better known I'll leave them until later.
It's also a way for me to finally organize more systematically what I had started doing by creating a "Scented Paths & Fragrant Addresses" resource....

 A new perfume museum, the Annette Green Perfume Museum opened in downtown Los Angeles on 17 October 2006. Its fund is made up of a collection of 1, 600 fragrance bottles collected by the emeritus president of the New York-based Fragrance Foundation. This new permanent collection succeeds to the Annette Green Museum at the Fragrance Foundation previously opened in 1999 which is considered to be the first fragrance museum in the US. The originality of the new museum is that it looks at perfume history as closely interrelated with that of fashion. It is located at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising...
