The Nose Has to Travel © Picsfive; Friedberg - Fotolia.Com THE www.perfumesociety.org scentedNO. 26 HIGH SUMMER 2017 letter HAVE A FRAGRANT FLING + MAKE A PERFUMED PILGRIMAGE + BE AMAZED BY AMBERGRIS THE NOSE HAS TO travel © picsfive; Friedberg - Fotolia.com. editor’s LEttER In an homage to the late Diana Vreeland (one of my style heroes), we’re calling this issue ‘The Nose Has to Travel’ – a tongue-in-cheek reference to the utterly fascinating documentary about the Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar editor, which was titled ‘The Eye Has to Travel’. Because in our experience, travel definitely broadens the mind – and the nose. Places become inextricably linked with smells, in our memories – for me, the jasmine scrambling through an open window on the island of Lamu in Kenya, the earthiness of the spice souks of Damascus and Morocco, or that hot, slightly burned pretzel scent which to me is the smell of Manhattan’s Midtown. And of course, claiming an important place in our memory banks are the defining fragrances we wear on holiday, which transport us back there with one spritz when we’re home. So we asked some of our favourite bloggers and writers to share their ‘holiday romance perfumes’, on p.16. For our ingredient focus in this edition, Bethan Cole looks at ambergris – definitely a much-travelled ingredient. This weird-looking whale by-product can spend decades bobbing on the ocean before turning up – entirely unpredictably – on a beach somewhere, where it’s quite often first sleuthed out by a dog being walked by its owner. Once transformed into a perfume ingredient, ambergris is prized for its astonishing warmth and richness – and as a fixative, delivering staying power. See p.10 for its fascinating salty tale. If you’re headed to London in the next month or so, meanwhile, your nose is in for a treat. On p.34, we report from ‘Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent’, the much talked-about exhibition at Somerset House showcasing 10 iconic fragrances which shaped perfume history, 10 contemporary creations (evoked via thought-provoking ‘installations’) – plus, treat-of-treats, an actual lab as the finale, staffed by working perfumers from fragrance house Givaudan. (Do check out our recommendations for must-visit perfume museums and shows abroad, too.) We also bring you news of two new fragrance names which are inextricably linked with places. Suzy Nightingale packed her bucket, space and tape recorder to talk to Dom Bridges of Haeckels – certainly Margate’s only perfume house (see p.28) – while on p.20 we learn from Amy Christiansen Si-Ahmed about setting up a social enterprise for the Moroccan women who harvest the ingredients which can be enjoyed in her Sana Jardin fragrances, launching imminently in Harrods. And will you be notching up any ‘hair miles’, this summer? With hair perfumes most definitely now ‘a thing’, our run-down of the most gorgeous and fragrant mists on p.25 is – well, not to be missed. So it just remains for me to say: wherever your nose will be travelling – even if it’s in the direction of a deckchair in the garden – may the rest of your summer be fabulously fragrant... www.perfumesociety.org The Perfume Society @Perfume_Society ThePerfumeSociety THE scented LEttER 3 contributors around the world in 80 sprays M australia THE SCENTS OF PLACE ‘My best friend moved to Sydney when we were in our early One of our very favourite things is to pack a new perfume for a vacation.

  • The Seven Main Families According to the Classification Proposed by Commission Technique De La Société Française Des Parfumeurs
    Fragrances Classification Sweet, sharp, sparkling, fresh....perfums should be so many and their notes practically infinite.....Knowing the main ingredients who characterize them and discovering which fragrance family they belong to , could be interesting and enjoyable. That's why we have decided to put at disposal a description and a classification of the the fragrances in seven Main Families, each of them has "Sub" Fragrance Families according to the classification proposed by Commission Technique de la Société Française des Parfumeurs The seven Main Families according to the classification proposed by Commission Technique de la Société Française des Parfumeurs Citrus By "citrus", we mean the essential oils obtained by extracting the zest from fruits such as bergamot, lemon, orange, mandarin, etc., combined with orange flower products. In this group we find the main "Eau de Cologne" fragrances used by men and women. Floral The family consists of fragrances with a single flower as their main theme : jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, violet, tuberose, narcissus, etc. Fougère This imaginary name which does not claim to represent a fougère fragrance, consists of a blend generally made up of lavender, woody, oak moss, coumarin, and bergamot notes. Chypre This name comes from the fragrance of the same name brought out by Coty in 1917. The success of "Chypre", made it the leader of this family which contains fragrances based mainly on harmonies of oak moss, cistus, labdanum, patchouli, bergamot. Woody These are warm or opulent notes, such as sandalwood and patchouli, sometimes dry like cedar or vetiver, the top note is usually made up of lavender and citrus notes.

Chypre powder, which has given its name to the Chypre family in perfumery, is made mostly from the moss that lives as a parasite on oak trees. Oak moss is always mixed with bits of bark torn off when moss is harvested, so its smell mingles with the scent of the tannin, a fragrant green component of the oak wood. Long ago fashionable people used Chypre powder to powder their skin or their wig. It was also used in making potpourri, “sachets” and baskets of fragrances.

The purpose of this study was to do a proof of principle investigation and to study the main factors that affected partitioning of PRMs into the gel network system shampoos and determine the effect that perfume incorporation had on the shampoo stability of the different formulations . Gel network premixes (literally a conditioner) were formulated then incorporated into a standard shampoo base. Changes in formulation of the gel network such as chain length of fatty alcohols and fatty alcohol ratios were done and its effect on stability and perfume migration studied. A technical accord with 25 PRMs with a very wide range of physical properties was used as a marker.

Perfume is a symbol of the high society privileges and the population rejects it as a sign of contestation. Bing Site Web Enter search term: Search. Did you want to write a toilet book? And also perfume houses of course create their own mythology and so I was trying to reconcile, in particular, Coty's 'official' narrative with what I was finding. The s began with a global recession and the denunciation of consumerism. Perfumer Guy Robert created a new type of floral scent that opens with a burst of fresh sparkling citrus notes including bergamot, mandarin and lemon. When I was writing about I'm of course covering a period just out of most peoples' remembered history, so there was quite a lot of elucidating the times, and some absolute gems which conveyed the role of fragrance in the times. The perfumery industry froze, and every major launch was put on hold for two years — after which the houses started to spew out fragrances in an abandoned frenzy, the majority of them unimaginative, chemical concoctions. Chypre scents have always risen from the ashes of Perfume: A Century of Scents or the ravages of recession.
