Day Two at Esxence has been put to bed with lots of new perfumes, friends, and fun.
For 2013 the four new Tom Ford Private Blend fragrances are grouped under the name of Atelier D’Orient- Fleur de Chine, Plum Japonais, Rive D’ambre, and Shanghai Lily
Rodrigo Flores-Roux has composed a frankincense still life in Tom ford Sahara Noir that will enhance my enjoyment of frankincense for years to come.
Editor in Chief, Michelyn Camen and Managing Editor, Mark Behnke have such different skin chemistry you would think CaFleureBon Best and Worst lists of 2012 would be wildly different. As you will see they are not.
The best perfume houses are the result of a creative team which works together and more importantly challenges each other. I came to realize how much of a team effort the creation of Arquiste Parfumeur Boutonniere No. 7 was between Creative Director Carlos Huber, perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, and evaluator Sophie Bensamou.
The interesting thing about the new collection of four Tom Ford Private Blends: Cafe Rose, Lys Fume, Ombre de Hyacinth, and Jonquille de Nuit; called the Jardin Noir Collection is that I see it appealing to almost very different experience levels of perfumistas.
