Hermes’ in-house perfumer (M. Ellena) has captured the essence of many of perfumery’s most used “notes” in light and ephemeral creations called the Hermessences. What Jean Claude has done (and rather well, I might add) is to create “perfumed haikus” or poetry in a bottle.
Last year I was introduced to the scents of Jane Cate, of A Wing & A Prayer Perfumes, who was awarded the title of Rising Star in Natural Perfumery 2011 by CaFleureBon. What I like about Jane’s fragrances is that although they are definitely natural, they are an embodiment of Nature herself.
In Oud Shamash M Duchaufour wanted to create a sensual masculine and I thought he succeeded. You might think Oud For Love would be the flip side of that and an intensely floral heart could lead you to believe that was what he was shooting for. As I wore Oud For Love I found it more a study in three acts to see what different sets of notes could bring out from the oud.
American Perfumery is more diverse and creative than ever.The evolving customer demands new approaches to fragrance and I look forward to more seductive and unexpected creations across all channels.
Somehow, through all these years of Calvin Klein making perfume, I have never worn a single one. When I was looking around for something new in Sephora, I remembered some buzz going around the boards and Facebook about ck one shock. I picked up samples of for her and for him. Although obviously marketed toward the youth demographic, I took my chances that age appropriateness wouldn’t be a factor.
