Certainly, the physical grace and nuanced performances of Berenice Bejo and Jean Dujardin made it easy to imagine a signature fragrance for their characters. As Peppy and George moved across the screen effortlessly, I felt as if I could almost smell their sillage.
The language associated with scent is complex, largely French, hard to pronounce, and often as overwrought as descriptions of fine wine. Brent Leonesio, of Smellbenthas done all of us a favor with his new fragrance collection, Vocabulary. He has created six perfumes, each representing a basic fragrance category
The new fragrance from Etat Libre D’Orange is inspired by both the cuisine and cinema of the islands of Southeast Asia.
Founder of Etat Libre D’Orange Etienne De Swardt tasked perfumer Ralf Schwieger with creating this fragrance, Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes (Son of God, rice, and citrus).
For the most part perfume is meant to create pleasure. When we wear our favorite fragrance it usually makes us feel good and it usually wears easy. Then there are the very few fragrances out there that try to do the opposite. They try to challenge our feelings about what fragrance should be. They also tend to make you work a bit to find your smile while wearing it. The latest release from Amouage, Library Collection Opus VI, is one of these.
The Electron Rose has a brilliant pink aspect to it and it is said the sap also carries a subtle fragrance. The Electron Rose is a hybrid tea rose. The idea of Electron the fragrance is to capture the vibrancy of this almost neon colored rose.
At this January’s Elements Showcase they finally showed me something which did tickle my optic sweet spot. Their newest release is called Ylang In Gold and infused in the juice is 24K gold dust and pearlescent particles. If that was all there was to Ylang In Gold it would be interesting but the perfume holding all the shiny particles shines all on its own as Ylang In Gold is one of the best fragrances in the entire Parfums M. Micallef collection.
