Judging by the looks on people's faces when they get that first whiff, I can't help thinking it'll be a great success.

Lovely work, a true pleasure to read, and I shall reflect upon the insights provided for some time to come. Many thanks.<br /><br />I was able to smell the empty sample bottle of Vanessa's Seville a l'Aube, and its potency was very apparent. It'll be a real treat to experience the full fragrance when it is commercially available.<br /><br />All the best for your future perfume collaborations,<br /><br />cheerio,<br /><br />Anna in EdinburghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-40624704743196769062012-05-06T18:25:30.779+02:002012-05-06T18:25:30.779+02:00I have discovered Chamade edt this year, but a bit...I have discovered Chamade edt this year, but a bit too late for a full bottle this year. <br /><br />The Aedes de Venustas is really something special, the rhubarb note is a true to life representation of the green rhubarb (so more piercing than the red rhubarb). To my nose there's not so much incense, a note which is difficult for me and which I usually keep away from. I am sure I at least need a decant!<br /><br />Very good to see a list with a good variety of scents, thank you for keeping us informed.Ingeborgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-81641365947973759122012-05-05T16:35:08.498+02:002012-05-05T16:35:08.498+02:00Elizabeth, your choices for spring are splendid.

While my high school classmates were marinating in cucumber melon body sprays, I was wearing Opium (borrowed from my mother) and Chanel No. 5 parfum (a birthday gift)! Your list has given me some lovely new ideas for spring perfumes. Lately I have been turning to No. 5 Eau Premiere and Goutal's Rose Absolue for their flowery glow.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142165978807409022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-43228658585454279402012-05-05T13:45:24.474+02:002012-05-05T13:45:24.474+02:00Gator Grad, my info is last week of July.

It's announced as a limited edition, though I should imagine if it sells well, that might change. I suppose that it will become more widely available in September, but since I don't work for L'Artisan, I'm not privy to their marketing plans.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-69935100699729478922012-05-05T13:39:42.719+02:002012-05-05T13:39:42.719+02:00When exactly does the perfume come out?

I must admit it's a bit difficult for me to see the destiny of Séville à l'aube so utterly out of my hands. In an ideal world, I'd have put it out in my own brand. Still, it's not as though I'm crying in my pillow! I hope people buy gallons of it, and convince L'Artisan Parfumeur of including it in their permanent collection. It's so beautiful I think it'll be very sucessful.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-5277181202536721142012-05-04T13:54:31.290+02:002012-05-04T13:54:31.290+02:00I've only sniffed a couple of these - looking ...I've only sniffed a couple of these - looking forward to great spring sampling!<br /><br />Denyse, you have reminded me of a friend who broke out in huge hives on her way home after turning in her dissertation.<br /><br />I'm about halfway through the book, which I love. It seems like such a complete project - delving so deeply into life, perfume, memories and turning it all into both a book and a perfume at the same time, with Bertrand Duchaufour, creator of such original perfumes. Bereft certainly makes sense for now. I'm sure the warm responses to your and BD's creations and the new doors that are opening will soon assuage that feeling. Can't thank you enough for all that you do! ~~nozknozAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-40891985936965651792012-05-04T13:37:03.770+02:002012-05-04T13:37:03.770+02:00Silvia, I'm happy but not astonished that many...Silvia, I'm happy but not astonished that many of my favourites among recent launches are also yours.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-37871552081127679982012-05-04T13:35:15.666+02:002012-05-04T13:35:15.666+02:00I am fond of lists!!!

It was closed years ago. The fragrances are still sold in the boutique of the Hotel Costes, and in a black foam pod that's so chic you want to exhibit it.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-83996750441916458182012-05-04T00:50:06.917+02:002012-05-04T00:50:06.917+02:00Everything about the Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parf...Everything about the Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parfum seems to be just right - The fragrance sounds fantastic, that bottle is amazing and the box is just beautiful.<br />I can remember first seeing the IUNX fragrances in Wallpaper magazine at around 2003. From what i can remember, the IUNX shop had lilly-pools and looked like some kind of art gallery. And didn't the fragrances come packaged in a black plastic pod ?. I think that shop has long gone, now.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918659925991452149noreply@blogger.com
