  • With Ambre Samar, Guerlain Puts the Amber Accord in Chiaroscuro ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica

    1 week ago | fragrantica.com | Sophie Normand

    This spring, Guerlain enriched its Absolus Allegoria range with a new opus, Ambre Samar. The new fragrance cultivates the house's balmy, sensual DNA to depict a lunar eclipse, creating flamboyant red tones. With Ambre Samar, in-house perfumer Delphine Jelk captures the mysterious radiance of an eclipse night. The image of a fiery moon suspended in a black sky inspires a play of chiaroscuro, where amber unfurls honeyed glimmers against a darker woody base.

  • An Explosive Rose From Headspace

    Headspace enriches its collection with a tenth opus: Rose, a novelty of contrasting charm, which the brand unveiled Thursday evening at La Samaritaine (Paris). Designed by perfumer Dominique Ropion, the rose's contours are redefined with an exalted stroke, the softness of its petals rubbing against the explosive blast of a gunpowder headspace. The Headspace range is built around a clear concept: the alliance of a central ingredient and an unexpectedly fragrant headspace.

For those not lucky enough to be there, here's a brief summary of the tour. The creamy, velvety nuances of sandalwood lend a creamy touch to the floral bouquet of N°5 (1921).

  • Réservation: An Olfactory Journey to the Heart of an Imaginary Hotel ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica

    2 weeks ago | fragrantica.com | Sophie Normand

    This spring saw the birth of a new brand in the niche perfumery landscape: Réservation. Conceived as a stroll through an imaginary hotel in California, this new brand features 7 fragrances by perfumer Yann Vasnier (Givaudan). This new label is the fruit of a partnership between the investment company Archive and Creative Director Francesco Ragazzi. Founded on their friendship and a shared taste for beautiful things, the brand is inspired by French savoir-faire and Californian charm.

  • Heading for Grasse With the New La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette

    3 weeks ago | fragrantica.com | Sophie Normand

    Earlier this year, Guerlain revealed a new edition of its famous La Petite Robe Noire, a reinterpretation of the eau de toilette. The new edition reveals the iconic rose and cherry accord, hemmed in with patchouli and tonka bean, in a brighter, more luminous light. I can't say exactly how many flankers there are in the La Petite Robe Noire line, but it's true that it's getting a bit confusing.
