Perfume Reloaded: le affinità olfattive del futuro
Perfume Reloaded: olfactory affinities of the future
In the beginning was the bronze age of digital perfumery: distribution was confidential and selective as a matter of fact. At that time it took years for a brand to launch a new fragrance and only the long time houses offered more than three-four perfumes. Then it came Opium and fragrances became pret-à-porter: launches multiplied and entering a perfume shop was a less and less confidential and even less selective. The iron age starts in 1983 with Michael Edwards Fragrance Wheel, born on paper to classify fragrances by olfactory families and later used to support sales points in advicing customers. The discovery of America though comes with the big apple, the one from Cupertino: in 2010 Givaudan launches iPerfumer, the first app for iPhone designed to help chosing a fragrance also based on families. The last technology edge is called Nose and runs on iPad. Could the perfume nerd in me resist to discover what is it about? So I went to nose in corso Magenta at Pérfume a couple of months ago, right before the official launch at Esxence.

Fragranze 11: Scent Diary #1
Oltre a lanciare l'extait de parfum di Mito, Vero Kern porta a Firenze le sue nuove Voile d'Extrait di Onda, Rubj, Kiki e Mito. Stessa formulazione degli extrait ma in una concentrazione più ariosa a metà strada con le più fruttate eau de parfum. Mi è piaciuta particolarmente questa incarnazione di Kiki che esprime al meglio l'avvolgenza edibile del fondo ma lascia volare la lavanda in una scia superchic.
Il fato che crea gli incontri cruciali della vita fortunatamente ha fatto incontrare Christopher Chong e Dorothée Piot di Robertet per creare Fate Woman, uno chypre orientale con la firma del classico frankincenso silver di Amouage. Sulla pelle di diversi amici rendeva un bellissimo sillage, col tocco vegetale del chili che intriga e trascina verso l'elegante fondo poudré.

While launching Mito extait de parfum, Vero Kern takes to Florence her new Onda, Rubj, Kiki and Mito Voile d'Extrait. Same formula of the extrait but more airy, in a concentration halfway with the fruitier eau de parfum. I particularly liked this embodiment of Kiki which renders at its best the almost edible, enveloping base yet makes lavender fly in a uberchic trail.
Fate that creates crucial encounters in life fortunately led Christopher Chong and Dorothée Piot of Robertet meet each other to create Fate Woman, a quite unusual oriental chypre featuring the classic Amouage silver frankincense signature. Smelling it on several friends I got a beautiful sillage with the vegetal touch of chili pepper teasing and letting you to the elegant powdery base.
