Aroma M Geisha Noire Eau de Parfum, Yves Rocher Green Apple ~ new perfumes

Posted by Robin on 19 September 2007 4 Comments

Aroma M Geisha Noire Eau de Parfum sprayAroma M has launched an Eau de Parfum version of their popular Geisha Noire fragrance, which debuted as a perfume oil in 2000:

While this formulation still recalls a Far Eastern bazaar, and retains all of its musky, deeply sensual amber and tropical, vanilla-esque tonka bean flavors in their original proportions, the added presence of alcohol serves to lighten it up and give it some breathing space. In its newly diffused form, the fragrance is more noticeable to those in your direct vicinity.

Geisha Noire Eau de Parfum comes with its own hand-sewn couture drawstring pouch, whose fabric is a richly textured solid black kimono-cloth crepe known as Chirimen. The colorful silk trim is made of precious strips of vintage kimono fabric. When not in use as a perfume cloak, this pouch doubles as a container for a cell phone (or one of many other of life¹s small necessities and luxuries).

The notes for Aroma M Geisha Noire include black amber, sandalwood and tonka bean. It will be available in 50 ml for $80; look for it soon at luckyscent. (via press release from Aroma M)

Yves Rocher Pomme fragranceYves Rocher has launched a new fragrance, Green Apple (Pomme):

Wrap yourself in freshness! It's apple season and nothing smells sweeter or cleaner than fresh, green fruit... even better, these new products from Les Plaisirs Nature bring a harvest of natural fragrance to enjoy over and over again.

Yves Rocher Green Apple is available in 20 ml Eau de Toilette for $4. (via yvesrocherusa)

    I was really sad when Aroma M stopped selling the oils in the pretty stoppers. I absolutely cannot stand roller bottle oils – they always seem to clog slightly after a while. Glad Noire is an EDP now – I liked it a lot but found it a tad stifling with that big punch of amber it had in oil form.

    I don't like roller bottles at all, and for that matter, will take an EdP over an oil whenever I can get it. But didn't know they had stopped making those bottles — they really were gorgeous.

    If I have anything resembling a signature scent, Geisha Noire is it (wearing it right now, in fact), but I don't think I'll be buying the EdP since my skin eats anything alcohol-based. It was the fact that it was an oil that led me to it in the first place! (I can MAYBE see trying an EdP of Geisha Rouge, though. That one does tend to be overwhelming on me, and I swear it intensifies as the day goes on!)

    So funny — I have the opposite reaction — perfume oils are so non-diffusive that I find them nearly pointless to wear. Ah well, so far as I know there are no plans to discontinue the oil.
