These five entries come from his long-standing tenure as L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Perfumer in Residence. He created stand-alone bottles called Mon Numeros back in 2009. At that time there was only one bottle of each
They used to refer to James Brown as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business”. Based on his output in 2011 I think we are going to have to dub Bertrand Duchaufour, The Hardest Working Man in Perfume. Over the past few weeks I have been wearing the five Mon Numeros I’ve been able to obtain non-stop and they are some of the best work of M Duchaufour’s time at L’Artisan.
There`s a grand tradition amongst my friends – we meet every September in Florence, courtesy of the Florentian organizers of that exclusive perfumery meeting at Pitti Fragranze!
The beginning of the change in perception began, in my opinion, back in 2008 with Elixir. Olivia Giacobetti created a sheer Oriental that was amazing. This marked the beginning of Penhaligon’s asking the rockstar perfumers to bring their talents to the house
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
Penhaligon’s announced they were going to let M Duchaufour and other perfumers have the chance to update their older creations and this was going to be a 10-fragrance set under the Anthology umbrella. Four were released in 2009, four were released last year and we are now at journey’s end with the release of the final two, Esprit du Roi and Eau Sans Pareil.
