This month’s Allure has a short feature, in which perfumer Yann Vasnier offers recommendations on the rose focused fragrances. Two fragrances with rich rose notes created by Vasnier were not mentioned, yet I would like to point them out anyway: Keiko Mecheri Gourmandises and Comme des Garçons Rose (Red Series) .
Welcome to Bois de Jasmin! I'm a writer, journalist and professionally trained perfumer. On these pages I explore the world of senses through art, literature, and history. - Victoria

violetnoir: Allure makes me sick! I have a subscription, but never, ever seem to get my magazine before it hits the newsstands.
I saw the new issue at the drugstore yesterday with Audrey Tatou on the cover. She is adorable! I started to go ahead and buy it, but decided to wait for mine to arrive in the mail…which will probably be next week. :(:(
Thanks for letting me rant. We missed you, V!

BoisdeJasmin: R, I missed you too! You can rant anytime. Actually, one of the reasons I stopped subscribing to some of the magazines I used to receive is because they would always arrive late. Perhaps, it is the fault of my local postal service, but it is annoying nevertheless.
This issue also had an article about a woman discovering her signature scent and then finding out that it was discontinued. It is nice to see more on fragrance in mass media. May 23, 2006 at 1:59pm
