FRAGRANCE REVIEW Tableau de Parfums Miriam “How To Visualize A Vintage Fragrance”
I have been enjoying the number of recent collaborations between artists olfactive and visual. We’ve seen photographs, books, and illustrations inspire excellent fragrance collections in 2011 alone. The only one left out of that mix was moving pictures. That is about to be rectified with the partnership between Perfumer Andy Tauer and Writer/Director Brian Pera.
Mr. Pera is collecting a number of short films under the title of “Woman’s Picture”. Three of these films will have a fragrance designed by Mr. Tauer to accompany them. The first Woman’s Picture to have both film and fragrance is Miriam.

The most recent fragrance collection to cross my path is Phaedon by Pierre Guillaume. The line was inspired by the story of Phaedon the house slave who so impressed Socrates when he was a house guest of his master that Socrates bought him and made him his disciple.
