In Part 2 of my perfume powered world tour courtesy of Gerald Ghislain, I take on four more of the 20 fragrance The Scent of Departure collection. The itinerary for Monday starts in Tokyo then a quick hop to Hong Kong before heading to Istanbul and finally finishing in Dubai.
Gérald ghislain the creative artist behind Histoires de Parfums and the highly anticpated The Scent of Departure collection is about to take flight.
I am extremely happy to be one of the first to have the opportunity to try all 20 of The Scent of Departure fragrances, no passport required for our whirlwind tour
Heading in to last January’s Elements Showcase I was expecting to find fragrance in all the old familiar places; perfumes, candles, room fragrances, incense, and body products. The exhibit hall was full of all of those things but I found a product which allowed me to encounter fragrance in an unexpected way.
For National Library Week Mark Behnke examines the literary spice ships of Dune by Frank Herbert and the fragrant ones represented in Frapin Caravelle Epicee by Jeanne-Marie Faugier.
Sergio Momo has shown a dedication to one paramount esthetic for Xerjoff; highest quality ingredients. Xerjoff has taken other well-known notes and by taking the best fragrant materials illuminated them like jewels in the perfect setting. Knowing this dedication I expected that the ouds Sig. Momo would choose for Oud Stars would be special.
When I received the new Etat Libre D’Orange Bijou Romantique I also received the other new release from ELDO, Fils de Dieu. I immediately fell for the flashier Fils de Dieu. Then I was sitting at my desk and I picked up the decant again. Without the showier fragrance to compete with it I slowly realized the subtle charms that perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui was conjuring with Bijou Romantique. Once I could experience it on its own I understood this was a fragrance for those who love complex fragrances.
