Dig around in perfume history, and you’ll come a

Dig around in perfume history, and you’ll come across the fact that Fougére Royale by Houbigant was the first perfume to ever use synthetic ingredients. While this is correct, not only did Jicky use the same synthetic (coumarin), it also used an additional synthetic, vanillin, and completely blew open how a perfume was structured, as well as the bounds of gender and good taste.

Respectable society wore light, citrusy, aromatic Eau de Cologne style fragrances around this time. But Aimé Guerlain had some different ideas. Jicky indeed starts out with a cologne style top of bergamot, basil, lavender, and a large dose of rosemary. However, the perfume is absent a heart, and a base of sandalwood quickly rises up, along with an obnoxious dose of civet that Aimé was brilliant enough to be able to get away with. This took the EdC style, and threw a stick in its wheel for the first time.

Now add a base with aphrodisiac qualities of vanillin, some cinnamon, and tonka (that coumarin again), and not only did you have a scandalous perfume that took many years for women to adopt, men adopted it as well. Thus, the first unisex perfume invented, even before the 20th century.

Not only this, but fragrance could now be a sensual abstraction, rather than trying to mimic nature or a singular flower or note, which most all fragrances were, until. The birth of modern perfume structures can be traced to one bottle, 133 years ago.

In “The Secret of Scent”, Luca Turin praises the genius accord that is the mango: “A ripe mango with its combination of incense-like austerity and sulfurous decadence, is a perfumery idea of pure genius.” Turin uses mango as an example to demonstrate that Nature is “the greatest perfumer of them all.”

In @xerjoff Cruz Del Sur II, no one can deny that the mango note surpasses its already fantastic natural state. However, the most interesting thing about this fragrance is that it also smells like chocolate ice cream. Rich, juicy slices of fresh mango lie atop a generous bowl of cold, creamy, sweet chocolate goodness.
This is a still life with ice cream and mango, surrounded by green leaves and apple blossom, with a topsy turvy pineapple balancing in the background. Still life is an art that like perfumery, freezes a moment. But things can’t stay frozen forever. Just like the ice cream will melt, the perfume will fade. The contemplation of the wearer is what endures. When perfumers replicate Nature, we are gifted a chance to appreciate and contemplate the nuance of smell that makes everything better.

Mango, pineapple, apple blossom, floral bouquet, green leaves, vetiver, cedar, musk

Like the warmth emanating from a hearth, the aroma

Like the warmth emanating from a hearth, the aroma encircles you with its balmy presence. An intermingling of Madagascan pink pepper and Brazilian roasted coffee beans establish the duality between spicy and cozy. Fiery cinnamon illuminates the heart, and a bed of cedar wood secures the enduring qualities of the fragrance.

@navitusparfums Emblaze, like the name implies, is an illuminating blend that is sure to surround you with a veil of olfactive glow. This impassioned perfume, which was composed by perfumers Lucas Sieuzac and Olaf Larsen, partly draws inspiration from Bradbury's opus Fahrenheit 451.

Labdanum enriches the blend with its exotic qualities while a carefully crafted leather accord enchants the wearer with its nuances of spice and woods. Like the tannins you'd find in freshly crafted leather goods, the natural aroma of Emblaze is the perfect embellishment to your collection of olfactive accessories.

Environmentally conscious consumers typically take

Ernest Léon René Lucien Daltroff is known to be

Ernest Léon René Lucien Daltroff is known to be one of the most masterfully subtle, pivotal perfumers to work during the Golden Age of perfumery (the 1920s). To this day, his legacy and work still influence modern perfumers.

With no formal training to speak of, he founded Parfums Caron @caronparfums in 1904 after undertaking teaching himself to memorize and learn perfumery materials, which he then proceeded to use fearlessly. Bases, absolutes, synthetics, overdoses, tensely dark accords, he used them all at a time when perfumers had very conservative views of what was “allowed”.

In 1906, he met milliner Félicie Wanpouille, who became his muse and Caron’s artistic director, designing packaging and bottles for Daltroff’s inventive creations, the likes of which had never been seen. Her bottle shapes and packaging details are still mimicked today.

One of his more notable creations was Narcisse Noir (1911), due to its simultaneously unsettling presence, but commanding beauty. It’s an intensely rich base of sandalwood, vetiver, civet, and musk, but with a hugely floral bouquet of narcissus, orange blossom, rose and jasmine. It’s dry, bold, scandalous, and sunless, completely opposite anything “floral” is, yet deeply constituted by florals. It instantly secured the fame of Caron, and Félicie’s original design for the sculpted bas-relief bottle has seen countless variations well into this century.

Parfums Caron still makes award-winning perfumes, under in-house perfumer Jean Jacques.

@sergelutens Ambre Sultan 🔥Well known to be a h

@sergelutens Ambre Sultan 🔥Well known to be a hallowed and classic amber fragrance, this however, is unlike any other amber you may have smelled. Don’t think of a sweet, boozy, edible vanilla-laden amber you may be familiar with. This was originally created in 1993 and perfumer Christopher Sheldrake wasn’t trying to fit in.

The core of this is a potent, tarry substance that the cistus plant excretes for protection in the sun, called labdanum. Labdanum is a complex note and often at the heart of amber accords, but it rarely takes such a large spotlight in them. Medicinal, balsamic, woody, leathery and vaguely red-floral, this amber smells ancient and wood-boxed, which was the intended effect.

For an added plot twist, green notes such as myrtle and bay leaf are added, making an herbal veil, and almost camphorous feel at times. But as it settles, there comes a damp, musty earthiness, as if some of these sacred herbs and resins have been entombed.

However, this scent is uncharacteristically quiet for a Serge Lutens fragrance, despite the depth of the notes herein. As time passes, it settles deeper into the skin and becomes a soft warmth, only ever hinting at sweetness. This is definitely not everyone’s amber, but the fan club for this one is massive.

Following the success of the original Gris Charnel

Following the success of the original Gris Charnel by @bdkparfumsparis is the release of a newly reimagined extrait version!

Gris Charnel Extrait preserves the magical spice of cardamom with the hypnotizing qualities of iris absolute from Morocco. The lactonic qualities of fig occupy the top before a heart of bourbon vetiver from Madagascar sweeps in to allure us with its earthy splendor.

This new perfume, which is concentrated at 30%, brings a new meaning to the word tenacious. Its seemingly interminable presence is assembled by accomplished perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui, and the main contributors are vanilla absolute from Madagascar and patchouli from Indonesia. Black tea extract binds all of the ingredients together to bestow the blend with uniformity and cohesion.

This uncompromisingly sensual expression captures the Parisian ethos in a way that guarantees the culture's approval. For a stronger, longer-lasting, and more enchanting experience, Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums is the ultimate tool of seduction to enrich your aura!

Recklessness is characterized by a lack of concern

Recklessness is characterized by a lack of concern regarding the dangerous outcomes of a particular action. Possessing such an ill-advised temperament is not suggested unless, of course, we are talking about perfumes!

The darker and more reckless characteristics of a perfume are brought out with the assistance of somber ingredients like leather, agarwood, and even incense. A veil of smoke envelops you with a density that only Amouage products are capable of conveying. @amouageofficial worked with master perfumers Alberto Morillas and Pierre Negrin to compose this masterpiece that is now available in the newly revamped Library Collection.

The subject of today's post is Opus VII Reckless Leather, and it's a perfume that strikes a balance between audaciousness and apathy. Olibanum confers upon the wearer its ancestral charm, and nagarmotha conveys the powerful smell of earth. For an ominous composition bearing close relation to Interlude for Men, Opus VII Reckless Leather is a must try!

Born Joseph Marie François Spoturno in 1874, argu

Born Joseph Marie François Spoturno in 1874, arguably, no one else so drastically shaped the course of modern perfumery as he. Perfumery was a conservative world with specific ideas about what you could use regarding materials and techniques. Coty changed everything.

From his first perfume, La Rose Jacqueminot (1904), Coty used floral absolutes that most perfumers wholly dismissed, and blended them with new synthetics that most others were suspicious of and/or unsure how to use. In L’Origan (1905), he did the same, but fearlessly used the idea of two pre-composed bases in the formula too.

Coty single-handedly created the Chypre genre in 1917. He and Jacques Guerlain had an admiration and rivalry, as Coty would pioneer a novel structure, and release it, Guerlain would perfect the idea in his own way. Coty’s L’Origan (1905) to Guerlain’s Aprés L’Ondée (1906). Le Chypré (1917) to Mitsuoko (1919). Emeraude (1921) to Shalimar (1925).

Coty also pioneered bottle design, along with jeweler René Lalique, who created noticeably intricate Baccarat crystal bottles for his perfumes. He then was the first to offer perfumes at multiple price points and sizes, aimed toward the working class, as well as being the creator of affordable gift sets with matching scented items.
