Francesca Brice and Kate Jason Smith supplied us with six crème perfumes fromPacific Perfumes “The Original Range”. Out of these six fragrances there were two that really stood out for me but I found all of them had something worth experiencing.
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s latest set of releases due to be released in the next couple of months have her returning to a botanical framework .All three fragrances show a lot of Ms. Hurwitz’s ability to take something simple and make it something memorable. Ruba’iyat, Vanille Botanique, and The Hand of Buddah are examples of that ability
L’artisan Parfumeur will debut two coffrets from Bertrand Duchaufour, Karine Vichone, Anne Flipo, and Jean la Porte , Why do we have to wait?
Then there are the very infrequent times when I get something which treads the rose garden path but finds a way to display the rose slightly differently and like the best artists within a genre add their own nuance to the oeuvre. Richard Fraysse, the in-house nose for Caron, has done that with the new Caron fountain fragrance Delire de Roses.
We are a group of young gents who march to our own beat, embracing an absolute disregard for other brands, trends and marketing clichés. Slumberhouse represents an unequivocal love for the art of fragrance making
Like the best artists Ms. Buchanan has been taking her time and making sure the compositions she releases are what she wants them to be. I admire an artist that takes their time in the pursuit of their vision and Ms. Buchanan certainly seems to fall into that category.-Mark Behnke
