CaFleureBon Congratulates the 2012 FiFi Indie Award Nominees
CaFleureBon joins The Fragrance Foundation and the “Indie” Committee in congratulateing the Indie submissions that are now official 2012 FiFi® Indie Award nominees:
The Winner of Caron Secret Oud “Unusual Beauty Draw”
Caron Secret Oud is about The Secret, rather than The Oud. It is really about the stealth of seamlessness.
NEW FRAGRANCES REVIEW: “Parfum Mania” Comme des Garcons A New Perfume Eau de Parfum & Idole de Lubin Parfum
As we enter the last few days of 2011 I begin to look back over the year for trends and the things I learned while exploring the new fragrances. One of those things that fall in the latter category, for me, this year is how different an eau de parfum or extrait formulation can allow me to find something entirely new out of the same basic architecture as a lesser concentration. For some reason this year has seemed to prove this to me on a monthly basis. For these final days of 2011 I received two final lessons in what a parfum can do.
The Winner of the Harvey Prince Look Younger, Attract Men and Lose Weight Draw
The new Holiday Gift Set from Harvey Prince goes that one better as they attribute the ability to help with weight loss, attract men, and to appear younger. All of these are supported by scant real data but the studies do exist, performed at The Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation (STTRF)
NEW FRAGRANCE REVIEW: L’Artisan Parfumeur Mon Numeros 3 & 4 + Favorite Number Draw
Mon Numero 3 and 4 by Bertrand Duchaufour for L’Artisan share some commonality as these are centered on more masculine notes of vetiver for Mon Numero 3 and leather for Mon Numero 4.
The Winners of The Zombies and The Birds Draw
One of the things I like about Brent Leonesio the creative mind behind Smell Bent is he takes that statement and manages to make serious perfume without taking it too serious.
