    The Creation of a Perfume Is Both a Science and an Art, and Choosing a Scent Is Deeply Personal

    Perfume 80 I south africa deLuxe I bEAUTY & hEALTH perfume I 81 The creation of a perfume is both a science and an art, and choosing a scent is deeply personal. Aroma is evocative. In French, the word for “to smell” is sentir. It’s hardly surprising that the same word also means “to feel”. I always knew my mother was in the room by the scent of Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door or, later, Estée Lauder’s Beautiful. I spent many childhood afternoons playing dress-up in my grandmother’s scarves and gloves, which smelled faintly of 4711 Original Eau de Cologne by Maurer & Wirtz. I would fill her empty bottles with water and line them up proudly on my windowsill, feeling very sophisticated. Yet I never really used to think about perfume until I read Molly Birnbaum’s biography, ‘Season to Taste: How I lost my sense of smell and found my way’. Suddenly, a door was opened and I began to appreciate the history, art and allure of perfume. Birnbaum was about to begin studying towards becoming a chef when she was involved in a horrific accident and lost her sense of smell due to head injury. Her book chronicles her journey towards recovery as she begins to understand the critical role that smell – a generally underrated sense – plays. She embarked on a visit to Grasse, France, considered the historical centre of the modern fragrance industry and the setting for Patrick Süskind’s novel, ‘Perfume’. Grasse originally produced leather goods during the Middle Ages. The smell of its numerous tanneries permeated the air.

    JEANNE LANVIN A 01long history of success: the If one glances behind the imposing façade of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 22, in Paris, Lanvin fashion house is the oldest one will see a world full of history. For this is the Lanvin headquarters, the oldest couture in the world. The first creations house in the world. Founded by Jeanne Lanvin, who at the outset of her career could not by the later haute couture salon even afford to buy fabric for her creations. were simple clothes for children. Lanvin’s first contact with fashion came early in life—admittedly less out of creative passion than economic hardship. In order to help support her six younger siblings, Lanvin, then only fifteen, took a job with a tailor in the suburbs of Paris. In 1890, at twenty-seven, Lanvin took the daring leap into independence, though on a modest scale. Not far from the splendid head office of today, she rented two rooms in which, for lack of fabric, she at first made only hats. Since the severe children’s fashions of the turn of the century did not appeal to her, she tailored the clothing for her young daughter Marguerite herself: tunic dresses designed for easy movement (without tight corsets or starched collars) in colorful patterned cotton fabrics, generally adorned with elaborate smocking. The gentle Marguerite, later known as Marie-Blanche, was to become the Salon Lanvin’s first model. When walking JEANNE LANVIN on the street, other mothers asked Lanvin and her daughter from where the colorful loose dresses came.

  • Paris–New York 1925

    Paris–New York 1925

    127 6 PARIS–NEW YORK 1925 JEAN PATOU’S “ADVERTISING” Caroline Evans Introduction Through the lens of a single dress, this chapter looks at fashion and modernism in the mid-1920s. A close reading of its design motif, an embroidered Eiffel Tower, leads to a consideration of its wider cultural, commercial and ideological meanings, in both America and France. In looking at what Paris signifi ed to Americans, and America to the French, the chapter identifi es some of the contradictions and complexities of modernist identities across the fi elds of fashion, commerce and visual culture in the period. The modernism it identifi es, however, is not that of the artistic avant-garde but of work, business and popular culture, in particular new forms of advertising and promotion. It links fashion to the streamlined, organizational structures of modern commerce rather than to the seamless, mechanical forms of modernist visual culture. In this, it follows a number of other writers who have elaborated on the relationship of fashion to modernism beyond the realms of art and art history. The architect and art historian Mario Lupano and Alessandra Vaccari have argued that early twentieth-century fashion was an engine of modernism, not merely a refl ex of modernity; furthermore, they assert, the success of fashion in this respect eclipses other attempts to emancipate the relationship of fashion and modernism from narrow histories of art. 1 Similarly, the literary scholar Michael Levenson has argued that modernism is not just what he terms “soft culture” but also consists of “hard, causal powers of modern action” that include habits and routines: “the pace of walking, a style of gazing, a tensing of the muscles.

OLIVIER PESCHEUX: It’s hard to answer with certainty. Nevertheless, perfumers are like sponges absorbing the air of time (Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps is one of the most accurate names you can find). Hence every societal movement leaves its mark on creations, in a more or less obvious way. It’s still too early to know in IN what ways the current health crisis will leave its mark in perfume, but it will leave its mark, that’s for sure. ESQ: Do you attribute gender to certain notes and raw materials? OLIVIER PESCHEUX : Not really, but it’s true that I perceive rose as rather feminine simply because it has been used a lot THE and in significant quantities in women’s fragrances in the West. That’s less true in the Middle East, where the rose also perfumes men. Lavender is rather masculine as it’s used a lot in fougère, the favourite family of men’s fragrances. It’s interesting to note that in Brazil, lavender is also feminine. So it’s more of a cultural affair. Yann Vasnier I’m trying to fight against this natural and cultural leaning, and on Givaudan perfumer the contrary, I use this challenge to fuel my creativity.
