Ms. Rose gave us an exclusive inside view of what it is to create a “fragrance on paper”:
“My newest novel is about many things: Victor Hugo and the secret séances he attended, Druid ruins, grief, ghosts, reincarnation and the lengths we go to for love.-M.J.Rose, author of Seduction, A Novel of Suspense and The Book of Lost Fragrances
Parfums M.Micallef was one of the first niche Houses to use oud in its compositions, something we take for granted today. To celebrate their tenth anniversary, AOUD a new fragrance has been added to the Exclusifs Collection that marks the occasion.
When I learned that Shelley Waddington of EnVoyage Perfumes was creating a scent based on the life of Zelda Fitzgerald, the memory of my teen obsession came roaring back. I was anxious to try Zelda.
It is the scented soul of Provence, the gift of the limestone hills, and the heart of scent. It is lavender and in our biggest draw we are offering 14 perfume with lavender in the compostion-niche and natural- from England, France, Italy, America, and South Africa.
For the New Kingdom collection Dawn Spencer Hurwitz of DSH Perfumes was inspired by original Egyptian perfumes she had studied for the King Tut exhibit at the Denver Art Museum and wanted to revisit those and modernize them. The results are Iridum, Keni, Antiu, and Megaleion
Zelda Fitzgerald was a complicated woman, so creating a fragrance that captured her essence posed many creative challenges
