I’m still on a fragrant cloud after another fabulous Sniffapalooza In New York City. As always Karen Adams and Karen Dubin created a program which had the participants experiencing fragrance in traditional and non-traditional ways. This was the sixteenth edition of Sniffapalooza and we jokingly referred to it as “Sweet Sixteen”.
There was a time when people thought that only the French could create liquid magic and now there’s a niche movement in America where passionate perfumers like me are creating there own collection and enjoying huge success. This is perfume that comes from the heart and soul
The newest fragrance from Humiecki & Graef, Candour, is all about the human connection a caress brings and the perfume team called Les Christophs (Christoph Hornetz and Christophe Laudamiel) truly create a very good work.
I make a point of not being a perfume snob and have tried a lot of celebuscents. Dita Von Teese is a celebrity scent that fits into the higher-end of the genre when it comes to pricing and quality of materials. It is definitely near the top of my list of feminine, sensual fragrances.
From perfume collector to YouTube reviewer to serious perfumer, Kerosene (aka John Pegg) has created quite a stir in the fragrance world. Kerosene has graciously taken the time to let our readers learn a bit more about him, his background and his “process”.
Now we’re in 2012 and Mr. Buxton is giving the idea of a collection another attempt as he releases a five fragrance collection. He retains both Black Angel and Wood and Absinth and then adds three new ones: Devil in Disguise, Sexual Healing, and Sleeping With Ghosts. This time I was not disappointed as the artist I admired seems to have returned.
