| Arlequinade (Henri Alméras - 1919) |
In 1991
Parfums de Rosine reappeared under the arcades of the Palais Royal but the only heritage from the past was the capital R stolen from the
Rose de Rosine flacon. There was nothing left of
Poiret avantgarde aesthetics and fragrances, so
Marie Helene Rogeon decided to write from scratch a new story for Rosine with contemporary creations based on the rose theme. Only recently the history of the brand has been rediscovered thanks to the Osmothèque activity, as pointed out by
Jean-Claude Ellena while welcoming the guests attending the conference.
Enchanted by
Jean Kerléo's lively telling, I follow him going back in time and in while we're in the '70s when arriving at the
Patou headquarter in Saint Ouen, he found a box with perfumes left by
Henri Alméras. Thanks to this and to the formulas that
Yuri Gutsatz got by chance long time before, but above all thanks to Jean Kerléo and
Guy Robert's commitment, from that case emerged eleven of the thirtysix known Rosine jewels.
