Fragrant news: even more to come....

Other new releases have us left if not in such rapt attention, at least with an eye for a pleasant surprise at least. 

Lalique Encre Noire (black ink) is the fourth masculine fragrance by the venerable crystal house and looks to be very woody. The nose behind it is Nathalie Lorson of Firmenich and the composition will pair 2 varieties of a rich undergrowth that surely is every construction engineer’s dream and nightmare, vetiver. The Bourbon vetiver variety with its warm, velvety , leathery ambience is married to Haitian vetiver which is more mysterious and smokier to the point of dirty. Sounds promising…
The same company is also releasing a new limited edition of crystal bottle for their eponymous original scent, as is customary in recent years. Collectors take note.

Miller & Bertaux  have created Bois de Gaïac et Poire, a composition of gaiacwood and pear. Issued first at their Parisian boutique on rue Ferdinand Duval (end of September) and later at other global points of sale.

Givenchy is hot on the heels of antagonism with their Jardin d’Interdit. No further info as yet, but the name alludes to a more floral flanker on their already tired in my opinion interpretation of L’interdit of recent years (a reformulation of their classic aldehydic floral immortalized by Audrey Hepburn which had many doubting their noses, as no formal warning had been issued on the issue ).

Christian Dior capitalizes on the success of Addict with their new Addict Extrême , which begs the question how much more extreme can one go, but I digress. However it is refreshing to see a tendency towards what seems to be deeper scents, lately (I would be very surprised indeed if this new version is a light or fruity specimen!).

There also plans for a men’s scent by Tom Ford , as well as the debut fragrance by Dsquared fashion designing duo, announced as 2007 releases, but still very vague about specific dates.

Boss is also issuing Baldessarini Ambré, a flanker to their masculine Baldessarini line which encompases the original and Del Mar versions. (although I like the former I was not thrilled by the latter). P&G who are responsible for the new perfume tell us that it will feature notes of red apple and mandarin with a heart of violet (I see a trend emerging )and leather, the whole finishing on oakmoss, vanilla, amber and labdanum. The central idea was to instill a whisky accord and the idea is pleasant enough, especially for those who would like the zing of a shot without the migraine. Set to launch come February. 

And last but not least Bottega Venetta, the uber-luxury house will jump on the bandwagon of scent launching a perfume for women by nose Olivia Giacobetti of Dzing, En Passant and Preparation parfumée Andrée Putman fame. I am all nostrils with anticipation…

A Lalique scent that veers away from sugar? Promising indeed (OK, I'll admit I haven't smelled the gents' fragrances - but the gals' are too desserty for my taste, even if the simple crystal flacon of Le Parfum Lalique was stunning)! Now that ink scents are coming, I'm eagerly waiting for somebody to use that wonderful glue I remember from childhood in a perfume..... It came in a metal container (later on, as modern times arrived, in a green plastic one) and smelled of almonds and honey and marzipan and much, much nicer things than school, where we used it! (and hey: I liked school!)

Indeed the feminine scents in the Lalique line could shatter crystal with their sweetness!
Ink is an interesting smell and I am sure the glue you describe must be very interesting too. (Marzipan has indeed a glue-like aroma, wonder why?). My most vivid glue memory however is a tactile one: liquid glue getting dry slowly between thumb and fingertip, forming threads. Fascinating in a most childish way!
