I’m not tortured as a French poet

Posted by Robin on 1 May 2019 7 Comments

When you create a family of fragrances (unlike when you have children) you can predict their character because you are inventing them. You want them to form a harmonious, happy family. Because I think fragrance should be uplifting and eventually boost your self-esteem. It should give you confidence and make you happy. This is my way of looking at designing fragrances. I’m not tortured as a French poet, or like Tchaikovsky who needed to be miserable to write music. So that’s why I want to have this happy family.

The daily lemming

Pretty! Guerlain's 2019 iteration of Muguet: "A fresh floral fragrance in a unique Collector's bottle hand wrapped in a meticulously crafted silk embellishment. Guerlain re-imagines the iconic Muguet Eau de Toilette every year in celebration of Spring. By collaborating with an artisian [sic], exceptional know-how and technology meet to create a deluxe vintage. This year, Sericyne — established at the heart of the Cévennes, the historic cradle of French silk culture — has fashioned an incredibly delicate silk adornment. An innovative, meticulously crafted masterpiece born of unique patented know-how, it is produced by some twenty silkworms, then stamped with a scattering of 69 bees and gilded with the name of the perfume." If you've got an extra $490 laying around, you can pre-order it now at Saks Fifth Avenue.
