Which would you rather smell like…

Posted by Robin on 25 April 2008 4 Comments

My grandfather had a garage where he parked his Citroën. I remember it was woody, a haunting odour, he had some geraniums in there drying over the winter. It was near the airport. It’s hard to describe but I loved that odour.

— Perfumer Christophe Laudamiel on an odor from his youth that fascinated him. From Marian Bendeth's Interview with Les Christophs at Basenotes, which won Best Fragrance Editorial - Broadcast or Web at the Canadian Fragrance Awards.

On first whiff, the vanilla notes come charging at you like an out-of-control Mr. Soft Cone truck. Imagine that truck crashing into a Kool-Aid stand and you have this fragrance in a nutshell.

— From Sniff Test: Baby Phat Fabulosity, at the National Post.

    Canadian fragrance awards? I did not realize such awards existed since every time I read about fragrance in Canada, they're trying like hell to ban it.

    I think they started in 2006, but it is not easy to find out anything much about them.
