Throughout the past two and half years, there have been many memorable quotes from Perfumers Editor in Chief Michelyn Camen has interviewed. She chose six … now match the quote with the perfumer!
1. "I was in Japan two weeks ago and I got the idea of doing something around rice and black ink. Its a good concept. It will be one my next perfumes. I am sure, because I want to do it and I will do it. It is a great challenge".
2. "Do you know we used to call ourselves, i.e. perfumers’? ‘Ghosts’. That has certainly changed since the information about us is more available"
3. "Maybe he was Baron de Belmont , hmmm or a Egyptian cat… slick, sensuous and sexy"
to create; it's what drives me". 4. “ I remember you saying that I am 'my own Luckyscent' and I still think it may be one of the best compliments ever paid me. The truth of the matter is that I have an insatiable need
5. "When I had created my first "perfume", blending some rose petals and fresh lemon juice from my aunt's Mediterranean garden, I was 6 years old"
6. "Phew…What is art, where do u wanna start!? Who defines when something becomes art or is considered to be? Yes, actually I do think that (perfume) it has to smell good. If not we enter theworld of arbitrary acts where anything could be lifted up to be called art. Is a car called art because the general opinion says that this one is particularly beautiful one? Can a cake be art because it is specifically delicious…? I’d say there are better fragrances than others but not artier than others".
