Wearing Mélange by Esscentual Alchemy I imagine myself as Satine in Moulin Rouge…replete with ivory cigarette holder, black lace ensemble and flower bedecked swing, high above my adoring crowd…singing at least as well as Nicole Kidman and pouting almost as fabulously.
Velvet ribbons, gold vermeil and glass beads, Prettily stranded throwing sparks of light In the sun Miss Dabney Rose shows her wares Oils to make your skin gleam ruby red lipcolor in tiny glass jars Flowers captured in time, liquid precious potions to keep your complexion Youthful elastic and soft But most precious of …
I came across Miss Dabney Rose while “butterfly netting” perfumers on the web. I was attracted by her funky style. She’s a Biker Chick who pulls no punches. She’s tough, gentle and loves nature with all her heart. I “know” this woman in the recesses of my ethereal nature for she knows what I know…the fragrance of Love and the ultimate art of fine perfume have everything in common… a pure expression of “emotional privilege”. All in all, a woman after my own heart. She “gets it”. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Dabney Rose.
Alfredo Dupetit-Bernardi had his own unique way of interpreting the brief Anya McCoy laid out. Hr. Dupetit-Bernardi chose to work with three of his existing compositions as the foundation upon which he would build his “woody erotizing musk”.
Botanical Musk Nr. 5 served as a primer on Hr. Dupetit-Bernardi’s style of natural perfumery.
Hr. Dupetit-Bernardi found his own solution to the “mystery”. In this case it involved taking what came before and re-interpreting it into something brand new.
