Posted by Robin on 17 December 2006 4 Comments

While it is true that this project is about as esoteric and uncommercial as perfume creation can be, such a flamboyant performance is bound to have an impact on the industry at large; not least as a kick in the pants to the complacency that sees 650 largely insipid, Identikit fragrances released per year, the majority with a shelf-life of 18 months or less.

    I wonder if Denzel then ran out to Barneys to buy CF for his wife, Pauletta? :):)

    Hugs!

    Well, he got the gardenia wrong…but close enough. At least he knows a good fragrance when he smells one!
