I hope people buy it

Posted by Robin on 25 February 2019 7 Comments

On Tuesday, Feb. 26, the second day of Paris Fashion Week, the city will wake up to 4,000 posters of Carine Roitfeld. The placards show her completely naked, looking out a window and making a peace sign with one hand.

[...] The posters are intended to introduce, teasingly, Carine Roitfeld Parfums, a collection of seven “genderless” fragrances inspired by seven fictional lovers from seven cities around the world. “We had to build everything ourselves, to make the juice,” Ms. Roitfeld said. “Usually people do this as a collaboration but I didn’t. I hope people buy it.”

— Ms. Roitfeld (best known as the former editor of Vogue Paris) will debut her new fragrances in May. Read more at Where Is Carine Roitfeld Now? Making Perfume at The New York Times.

    Ah! The most important part: “They retail at $285 apiece.”

    “The photo was actually taken as a joke. It was two years ago, and my daughter was just taking photos of me for fun. ”

    1) Man…..

    2) It’s $285 EACH, mon ami!

    On her Instagram account, she tagged the perfumers as Yann Vasnier, Pascal Gaurin and Aurélien Guichard, if that’s of interest to anyone.

    Very interesting—she immediately picked up on the problem of IFRA:

    “I thought it would be cool to make a perfume, but it’s not cool. There are so many rules and regulations to make sure it doesn’t burn your skin.”

    I am curious to see how these compare to those of Sylvaine Delacorte and Grace Coddington.
