In September 2009, Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) inaugurated what has become a new tradition called created Fashion’s Night Out. In New York there are a number of events that will be of interest to fragrance lovers and I just wanted to highlight a few of them for those who are thinking of joining the festivities .
I first discovered Julie Elliot of i In Fiore in 2007, and her amazing line of natural solid fragrances, while suffering through yet another “Confiscation of Liquids” check in at the airport. Her minimalist approach to blending lends well to solids, which sit up on the skin longer so you experience the unfolding of the fragrance
The annual MDA Labor Day Telethon with Jerry Lewis has been downsized, dismantled, and its host, dismissed.What has this have to do with perfume? For the next 24 hours we are holding a Blog-A-Thon for Jessica September Buchanan. $1 for every comment up to $100. We aren’t flush, but we support indie perfumers with more than words
it is not the ingredient that is boring but the lack of imagination which makes it pedestrian. Mona di Orio has created an amazing oud fragrance & she has also created a blueprint on how to make something special out of something overdone. Les Nombres D’Or Oud is my favorite fragrance of 2011, so far 3.3 oz EDP $520 draw!!
Charna createa fragrances that she finds interesting and appealing. “This is one of the things I love about running my own business. I have the freedom to do what I want. I need not create what the market dictates. I create what I dictate.”
Penhaligon’s Ltd. has been busy these days. With the finale of the reformulated Anthology series (draw ends tomorrow) the will be introducing their first new fragrance since Sartorilal by Nose Bertrand Duchaufour…Juniper Sling. Oliver Cresp salutes the “Bright Young Things” post World War I
