Etrog is one of those intriguing themes in Jewish folklore and tales. Like perfume, it walks both paths of being holy and with medicinal properties; yet with irresistible seduction powers. Etrog for Father’s Day? It is known as the Father of all lemons. Etrog Oy de Cologne Draw
I was particularly intrigued by the four colognes which make up the new The Different Company L’Esprit Cologne Collection. The perfumer who created all four of these new colognes is Emilie Coppermann. Clearly, Luc Gabriel, the owner of The Different Company turned Mme Coppermann loose to create freely and the result is a collection which once again helps to redefine what a cologne is.
Bond No.9 has added two more scents to their “I Love NY” line. These are the sixth, For Fathers, and seventh, For Marriage Equality, fragrances in a line that will eventually number fifteen. Many of our perfumista brothers and sisters roll their eyes, sigh and say “Really? Two more are out…already?” I am here to tell you that both of these fragrances are worth trying.
One of the things that usually irk me about most mass market designer scents is the inevitable wave of innumerable flankers and seasonal releases that follow. This summer, however, I was very pleased to find quite a few very well made ones. Sport and summer epithets do not necessarily mean bad…as you will see
One of the strongest debuts of 2011 was the arrival of the first six fragrances from Phaedon. Phaedon has added two new creations to the original group; Coton Egyptien and Verveine Figuier. The timing of both of these couldn’t be better as both of them will be ideal summer fragrances.
When IUNX shut their doors I worried these fragrances would be lost as they are some of Mme Giacobetti’s best creations. It seems Mme Giacobetti also feels these are fragrances worth fighting for as well and in late summer of 2011 she opened a store in the Hotel Costes.
