    Very interesting!

    I’d love to smell my way through that kunstwhatever in Berlin, and bring a piece of artwork home, as the curator says. I wonder if my favorite of favorites has been called to make a DR01…
    🙂

    On the other hand, I don’t know if I agree completely on what he says about signatures… I am drawn, more often than not, to the same noses again and again (DR for FM, BD for CDG, EDI, Penhaligon’s). While others (JCE, OG), I admire but never/seldom love… so there must be some kind of signature, no? Of course, I wouldn’t be able to say, blindly, this is a [fill in with a nose] ! But there *is* a sort of affinity, with some noses more than others…but what do I know? 😉

      Agree…don’t think it’s such a huge trick to recognize a perfumer’s work, at least, not in every case.
