I love learning more about people who create fragrances. It is even more enjoyable when one gets to see not just a professional, but a person, with their likes and dislikes, passions and interests. Which is why I was glad to discover a fascinating video interview on Made by Blog with perfumers Clement Gavarry and Laurent Le Guernec, who worked together on Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely. The film is created by the New York based photographer and video artist Miss Liz. The most interesting aspect of the film is the glimpse it offers into the personality of each perfumer, which makes one understand what drives their creative process and what serves as a source for their inspirations. Made by Blog is a project started by Sacré Nobi, exploring a novel manner of fragrance creation.
Painting: Pablo Picasso. Man’s Head with Red Nose. 1965.

BoisdeJasmin: Robert, I am glad that you enjoyed it. It is a very interesting film. July 18, 2006 at 2:09pm
Diane: Oh, I loved that! Like you, I love getting a glimpse of what drives people and what inspires their ideas, especially those who are professionally successful. Moreover, I just love characters and these two are definitely that. What would have been great is to see the two of them side by side and observe the dynamic between them. That, I am sure, would have been so much fun to watch. July 19, 2006 at 7:04pm

BoisdeJasmin: Diane, I agree–it is fascinating to observe the dynamic between the perfumers. They seem to have different personalities, yet both are very compelling and fascinating. July 24, 2006 at 12:29am
BoisdeJasmin: Jenny, please try again. It seems to work for me both in IE and Firefox. July 24, 2006 at 12:30am
BoisdeJasmin: Jenny, that does not sound like an issue with the hyperlink itself. I am not sure what to suggest. July 27, 2006 at 12:10am
Jenny: No it still doesn’t work when I click on the url my computer stops and don’t respond at all anymore, I have to use my taskmanager to stop it. July 26, 2006 at 8:20pm
