In Part 2 of CaFleureBon’s Favorite Winter Fragrances we let the men of CaFleureBon have their chance to help you make it through the night with ten of their choices.
When it comes to the seasonal solar extremes I prefer the Winter version of the Solstice to that of the Summer. There is something about The Long Night which makes me feel contemplative. . It is always good to have something to ground you and allow you to be able to turn your thoughts inward. My tool this year came from the aptly named Soivohle Solstice by Liz Zorn.
Tama Blough found herself attracted to the “Scents of Place” collection, each created to evoke a certain part of the world that Dr. Covey has experienced. Three of the fragrances from that collection stood out Siam Poun, Olympic Forest & Kingston Ferry.Our draw is reader’s choice
This idea of a sensual liquid breathing came to mind when I tried the brand new 2012 Eau de Parfum versions of the two previous Ellie D Perfume releases Ellie, in 2007, and Ellie Nuit a year later. Michel Roudnitska was the perfumer behind the original extraits and he is again composing the EDP versions.
Maria-Candida Gentile was one of the perfumers I wanted to meet at Pitti Fragranze 2011 in Florence. I had never smelt her perfumes, just read some great reviews by others. So when we met, I began to smell all the perfumes first, and was really surprised that the perfumer was there too!
One of my favorite ongoing collections is that being done by Mathilde Laurent, the in-house perfumer for Cartier. It is called the Les Heures de Cartier and in what will be an eventual 13-fragrance collection the ninth entry has just been released. Mme Laurent is not going in order and she is skipping around the clockface as she releases each one. This one represents II and is called L’Heure Convoiteé (The Coveted Hour).
