Coming this Christmas from Hermès: a stunning limited edition crystal bottle of 24, Faubourg holding 30 ml of extrait de parfum. 400 bottles will be sold at the price of 1000€, which includes an estagnon for refills. (via parfumessence) Thanks to Muskiss for the link!
Coming in November from S-Perfume: LUST, by nose Alberto Morillas, and SLOTH, by Thierry Wasser, two of the "seven scents of sin" created for the olfactory installation /7S/, which appeared at the Cleveland State University Art Gallery in early 2003. S-Perfume is also preparing to launch a new, more concentrated version of Sophia Grojsman's 100% LOVE, which will be packaged with pink scented pellets for home fragrance use. Look for that in early 2006.

Both are available in the UK. (via Women's Wear Daily)
Well, Gucci pretty much covered the sin of Envy. I believe BPAL has Gluttony…All these names remind me too much of movie Seven, which scared the bejesus out of me and never ever will I be brave enough to own a perfume that reminds me of it.
M, the trailer for that movie scared me too much to even see the real thing, so I know where you're coming from!
Well this is nice news – the other Morillas S-Perfume scent I've tried was the best of the lot, and I particularly look forward to it. He's really one of those perfumers that I admired without knowing it until I glanced at his resume of fragrances. Thanks for scoop, R.
It will be interesting to see what Lust smells like
I love the idea of a perfume blog for all who love scent.
Thanks to those who work on keeping the rest of us informed.
Australia, my home country is not renowned for creating fine fragrances. So my business, TommiSooni will release a fine fragrance for 25+ women in 2006.
I am determined to create the finest perfume and packaging. The perfume will be released as an extrait de parfum (12ml) in a contempory crystal bottle.
A limited edition in hand made boxes and finished in gold leaf will also be released to celebrate the launch.
I am already well on my way with this creation, but I would love any advice or suggestions from readers on what makes a new perfume and it's marketing a success.
I plan to release the perfume in speciality stores and perfumers in Australia first and later to a limited International market.
thanks for your help.
Tommi
I'm afraid that what I know about fragrance marketing would fit neatly on the head of a pin, but good luck with your new perfume!
