Parfums Delrae Mythique, Menard L’Eau de Taoyaka ~ new perfumes

Posted by Robin on 20 February 2009 17 Comments

Parfums DelRae Mythique fragrance for womenNext up from Parfums DelRae will be Mythique, a new fragrance for women inspired by Diane de Poitiers, the Duchess of Valentinois and mistress of Henri II of France.

DelRae Roth has captured her spirit with Florentine iris and flowers found in the gardens at Chenonceau, the Loire valley castle given to Diane de Poitiers by Henri II (Catherine de Medici kicked her out after Henri II passed away). Other notes include mandarin, bergamot, ivy, peony, jasmine, sandalwood, patchouli and ambrette.

I will update with the size and concentration when I can find them.

Update: Parfums Delrae Mythique was developed by perfumer Yann Vasnier, and is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

Another update: see a review of Delrae Mythique.

Other recent launches from Parfums DelRae: Emotionelle.

Menard L'Eau de Taoyaka fragrance for womenMenard will launch L'Eau de Taoyaka, a new "delicate and harmonious" fruity floral fragrance for women that celebrates the brand's 50th anniversary.

The notes feature atemoya blossom, cherry blossom, galbanum, ginger, jasmine, lily of the valley, violet, rose, iris, ambrette, vanilla, musk and cedar.

Menard L'Eau de Taoyaka will be available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum. (both above via finmark.it, additional information on Menard Taoyaka via abc-luxe)

Other recent launches from Menard: Menard For Men.

    Do you ever find that when you're excited about one perfume, it kind of overflows onto other scents? As in, I'm yearning so hard for that Mythique, I find myself looking at the Menard and thinking warmly 'that sounds LOVELY'. PLeeeeeease let that Mythique be as good as it sounds – I'm dying to be in love with a DelRae again.

    LOL — but haven't even smelled the melon thing yet! What happened to the big slow down this year? They're coming just as fast as ever!

    But where is Emotionelle? Has it arrived anywhere in the states? I am anxiously awaiting it, MDCI Riche Oriente and Un Matin d'Orage.

    This is getting frustrating!

    Hugs!

    And so is the box. Actually, I like the box even better, but that's silly because I throw them away.

    Oh my goodness…a Delrae featuring iris!!! My wallet is cringing with fear and my nostrils are fluttering in anticipation.

    fluttering nostrils…..gimme a minute, I'm still working thru the visual……ok, no wait, i'm still snickering a bit……

    Ok, yes better now….this actually sounds quite enticing, I can hardly wait (my nostrils are flaring but I don't know if they can actually flutter, I'll do my best…)

    I perked up at the sound of iris too, though am still haunted by the sticky, spicy indolefest that is Amoureuse.

    Fragrantfoodie, it does sound very tempting! And it probably won't be cheap.

    LOL —oh no! another visual! eager nostrils….I don't know why but that strikes me as so hilarious, I almost spilled coffee all over myself! However, I think my credit cards are fluttering….oh nope, they're shaking with fear….that's different I think.
