More on the upcoming fragrance for men, Terre d'Hermès:
For the scent's inspiration, Hermès in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena turned to the writings of French author Jean Giono.
"He is a man who loves the richness of nature," said Ellena, who decided to create a vertical fragrance containing primarily vegetal and mineral notes. No musk notes are included."Musk creates a mask on the skin," he explained, adding that without such a note, a person's scent is evident. "So each time, the fragrance is unique."
(via Women's Wear Daily) You can see the notes for the fragrance here, or read my review of Terre d'Hermes.
“A vertical fragrance”, huh? that reminds me of a Friends episode, in which Joey auditions for Jeff Goldblum's play. Goldblum says his performance is too horizintal and tells him to be “more vertical”.
Splash No 3 has Something M Will Never Wear written all over it. Liquid Oxygen, yikes!
I am there for the Terre d'Hermes. Totally.
But what, pray tell, is Marc T accord???
I love Jean Giono's writing – can't wait to sniff the olfactory rendition!
T, I had to google him, so obviously haven't read any of his works. Which is your favorite of his books?
You must read le Hussard sur le Toit and Provence – that will give you a good idea of his writing. Angelo is good too. Sorry it took so long for me to reply to this, just found it again when looking at the Terre d'Hermes comments today.
Thanks for the recs, and no worries, it will take me the same amount of time to get around to buying one of the books
I don’t remember Blush or Intense very much. It’s too bad they aren’t around anymore. The notes from both sound so nice. : )
Blush was a nice enough casual jasmine — but MJ has clearly hit his stride in terms of packaging & promotion — the scent can be “nice enough” but if the packaging is also just “nice enough”, you won’t make a gajillion dollars as he has with Daisy & Lola.
