Which perfumer would you like to work with while launching your brand?

Of course many of us would like to make our own fragrances, but what if there was a good option to invite some perfumers to create some fragrances for your own brand? Which one would've you like to choose and why?

I'm thinking about Cecile Zarokian (Ani, Remember Me, Fetes Persanes). Her works are quite refined, artistic and easy to like. Also Quentin Bisch (Ganymede, Hermann A Mes Cotes..., Fleur Narcotique), Francois Demachy (mostly Dior).

Of course as any other respectful niche independent house I'd like to have challenging stuff in my arsenal. For this I'd like to invite Antonio Gardoni (Tyrannosaurus Rex, Bogue Profumo).

Could've been cool to do a collaboration fragrance with some other indies like Kerosene, Olympic Orchids.

That's pretty much it. What do you think? Is master perfumer Alberto Morillas enough?

Es Devlin creates labyrinth in Miami to celebrate 100 years of Chanel No.5

If your in or near Miami, this is on until Dec. 21.

https://www.dezeen.com/2021/12/16/es-devlin-five-echoes-labyrinth-chanel-miami/

>Devlin worked closely withΒ Chanel's in-house perfumer Olivier Polge to transform the molecular language of its No.5 perfume into a soundscape and light installation that is emitted from the structure....

>"This project aims to balance the echo of the emissions inherent in its production by inviting 2,000 trees to work as co-authors of the piece and replanting them so they can grow and sequester carbon for hundreds of years while offering health-enhancing benefits to those who spend time among them," said Devlin.

"Dior Homme 2005" Clone...my mistake.

I bought a clone of "Dior Homme" (2005 Formulation) and got it in today. Only to find out that it's the wrong formulation. This is the ORIGINAL...the first version of "Dior Homme" created by Olivier Polge. I intended to purchase the 2011 version, the first reformulation of "Dior Homme" by Francois Demachy. It is the fragrance clone sold by "Dapper Fragrances" and I'm trying to like it, but without the Cacao note...my soul has no interest. I stupidly blind-bought the biggest bottle they sell and now I have the regerts.

It's nothing to do with the fragrance, it's a spot on clone of the original fragrance according to fragrantica members that have original bottles of the juice. It just wasn't what I was looking for.

Is there a forum for reselling Clone fragrances?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Chanel - Le Lion de Chanel Review

Evening all. Having reviewed a shed load of French fragrances by CarrΓ©ment Belle a few weeks back, I found myself suddenly running short on perfume samples. I have not been idle in my sample-less state, however. Indeed, not only do I now have 5 more Penhaligon's fragrances to review (Sohan, Iris Prima, Blanch, Dorothea and Helen), but I've also been going out every lunchtime from my hovel and trying everything I can get my nose on in the post-lockdown haze.

I'm not going to review everything I've smelled for three reasons - the first is there are too many of them (I've smelled upwards of 60). The second is that many are just not that interesting. The third is that perfumes really deserve reviews once they've been smelled a few times.

If people are intrigued, I've done pretty much the entire Diptyique output, all the Acqua di Parmas, pretty much all the Hermès, some Jo Malones, even more Penhaligon's than I have the samples for above, some Molton Browns, most of the Maison Margielas and a good number of Dior exclusives (including Diorissimo and Lucky in a Lily of the Valley shootout vs Penhaligons!). I'd love to discuss those in the comments, but this review is about Le Lion de Chanel.

Perfume Notes

Le Lion de Chanel is a 2020 release and is described as an amber fragrance. It's nose is Olivier Polge who is the house perfumer for Chanel. His father happens to be Jacques Polge who was also Chanel's perfumer for 37 years. Outside of working for Chanel, Polge Jr. has struck gold countless times with the likes of Spicebomb, Flowerbomb, La Vie Est Belle, The One for Men and...Only The Brave (well, you can't win them all...). I happen to own Spicebomb, and I think it's possibly the best designer fragrance out there, so well done Mr. Polge.

The notes for this one are as follows:

Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon.

Middle Notes: Labdanum, Amber.

Base Notes: Madagascar Vanilla, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk.

Perfume Background

Le Lion forms part of Chanel's Les Exclusifs collection (that means its expensive to you and I, chief).

As with a lot Chanel releases, it plays upon the mystique of company founder, and notorious anti-Semite, Gabrielle Chanel (she literally was a spy for the Nazis during WW2). The fragrance takes its name from her Leo star sign and, apparently, the lion became symbolic of Coco's personality.

You're OK to buy Chanel now, by the way. Part of the reason she worked with the Nazis was because the perfumery side of her business was

Dolce & Gabbana - The One EDP Review

Dolce & Gabbana - The One EDP Review

Hey guys! Today I’ll be reviewing Dolce & Gabbana’s The One EDP. It was released in 2015 and the nose behind the piece is Olivier Polge.

Off the top I get a good serving of grapefruit and ginger, it’s quite nice and very influential to other fragrances so you’ve likely smelled this before but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s nice and warm with a good dose of spice.

In the mid the ginger comes out even more with help from a great cardamom note. This is when the fragrance starts to really develop into something special for me. It is one of, if not my favorite, uses of cardamom in designer perfume. It’s warm, alluring, in one word it is inviting.

You begin to get the tobacco in the mid, but it is paired with amber in the base. This tobacco/amber duo is incredible in the base, it is extremely warm and soft, almost like a hug.

The One EDP balances the line of being warm and effective but not being dense to where you wouldn’t be able to wear it in the summer. It is deceiving in the best way. The opening is nice but nothing too nose grabbing, but as it develops it really becomes something so special.

Usefulness: 9/10

Rating: 9/10

Who is your favorite perfumer?

Fragrance is personal, scent is social. The goal being to smell good, but a lot of enjoyment can be gained by diversifying and finding the best fragrance that enhances the surrounding atmosphere. Some perfumers have the touch and sorcery needed to deliver a satisfying fragrance. A few of my favorites:

Alberto Morillas
Alienor Massenet
Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Who is your favorite?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
