Diptyque Eau Duelle- Black And White With A Side Of Spice And Resin
Diptyque after having taken on one of the more ubiquitous warm-weather notes in their Spring 2010 release, Vetyverio, are poised to take on one of the cold-weather stalwarts in vanilla and the Fall 2010 release, Eau Duelle.
Diptyque enlisted Fabrice Pellegrin to design Eau Duelle and fresh off his almost science-fiction inspired design of Thierry Mugler Womanity and its caviar accord, M. Pellegrin shows he can coax beauty from the most mundane of beginnings.
NEW FRAGRANCE: Creed Spice and Wood- Olivier Gets Old School Romantic
In the Fall of 2010 among my most anticipated fragrances this fall is the new Royal Exclusive from Creed, Spice and Wood. Olivier Creed is the perfumer behind this one and he was inspired by the historical romance between Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Roman Marc Antony.
IUNX No. 8 Eau Baptiste and No. 9 Eau Blanche- Giacobetti Reincarnated
In 2003, in partnership with Shiseido, Olivia Giacobetti opened a boutique in Paris named IUNX with twelve fragrances and a working lily pond inside the store. From all accounts I can gather on that store it was modernistic and sleek in style…..and probably destined to fail, which it did. By 2006 Shiseido was pulling out and the lily pond was being drained. The people who had a chance to try the fragrances spoke highly of them and I thought my opportunity to try them was gone. It is obvious that IUNX was a personal passion because she has taken the opportunity to resurrect it in a more modest reincarnation. Mme. Gicobetti has had a successful relationship with the Hotel Costes in Paris. It is there that IUNX has quietly made its return. I am going to focus on two of the four IUNX fragrances available, No. 8 Eau Baptiste and No. 9 Eau Blanche which are orange blossom and iris centered respectively.
