FROM FABLE TO FRAGRANCE : PERFUMER'S SECRET JOURNEYS
Mayotte - Guerlain |
Like a distant voyage, fragrance has the capacity to inspire dreams and imagination. Some brands have clearly understood that pairing the two can only accentuate the image of poetic luxury and creative inspiration. On the banks of the Nile or tucked away on Mediterranean shores, Hermès garden-fragrances as seen by Jean Claude Ellena have won over the hearts and minds of legions of fragrance fans, both male and female. A fragrant trend that is definitely in at the moment, and not only with the alternative houses. So brands are attracting us with evocations of Bourbon Island (aka Reunion Island, the original name was for the French Royal Family, not the spirits); with its waves of vanilla, geranium and vetiver; Mayotte and its plantations of ylang-ylang, or Mysore with its sandalwood. In fact, this fall, at both Tommy Hilfiger and Kenzo, each of the essences that go into composing their latest scents evokes a specific place. |

With Tommy 10 and Tommy Girl 10, the fragrance is like a road trip across America: from Mississippi to California, from Vermont to Seattle. With Kenzo Amour, the perfume narrates the secret emotions of a voyage across Asia: China, Burma, Japon, India and Thailand set the stage for this new musky-vanilla fragrance tinged with a touch of poetry. To be perfectly honest, in this day and age, few and far between are those travelers who truly know Samarkand, Sikkim, Armenia or Bourbon Island, all places turned into fragrances by Hermès, Lancôme, Guerlain or Miller Harris… But even before the bottle has been opened, these fragrant creations’ very names evoke a multitude of olfactory promises. |
