Marcello Aspria, who writes all the wonderful perfume book reviews on Now Smell This, has a great new article on Basenotes: Spending quality time with Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal:

I spent most of my three days with Isabelle - she trailed me along the streets of Paris in her (heavily abused, dented, damaged) little car - and we met lots of her friends, which was a great way for me to expand my network. She told me about her future perfume projects, things I can't and won't discuss here. She showed me raw materials and essences (which is what she teaches her students at ISIPCA once a week); we talked about perfume of course, but also about normal, everyday stuff, and art, poetry, literature. I'll try to give you an impression of what it was like to hang around with the creative minds behind the Annick Goutal brand...

There are pictures as well, do give it a read!
