Hello Fellow Fumies,
Every Saturday we have a Question, an idea purloined from Olfactoria’s Travels. Everyone gets to chime in with an answer, chat with other responders and it is a fun event each week. Taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
The idea is you’ll see it on the weekend or chime in through the week. Hopefully you will come back and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them.
Over 100 responses I will draw a Scent Sample Pack (from my collection)
This week:
- Keiko Mecheri Oliban
- Annick Goutal Mandragore
- Estes Lauder Bronze Goddess
- Atelia Cologne Tobacco Nuit
- Serge Lutens Chergui
Last Weeks Winner:

Saturday Question:
Who In The Perfume World Do You Most Want To Meet
So many interesting and inspiring people in the perfume world. There were more than a fair share of crazy, out there and walked too. So many sparkling personalities, ability packed, over the top and quietly genius. Many of them are names we see again and again who have created the juice, own the company, creatively direct or are marketing arms. The bloggers, most of whom I find delightful. Magazine/newspaper columnists and beauty editors, store or chain owners, bottle designers, big business fragrance houses.
So many people create, work, critique and consume perfume. It’s hard to think of a couple you’d MOST like to meet. Especially now I’ve been around the business for a few years. So many of the really exciting people I’ve been lucky enough to meet, some have even become friends.
My Answer:
One person who I’d really love to meet is Pierre Dinand. The man who has designed some of the most iconic bottles for fragrance the world over. Opium, Eternity, Madame Rochas, Fendi and many others are his design.
From early Art studies in Paris, recruited to the army where he became an archeologist, to his work in a chemical plant where he decided to redesign the packaging for a product about to launch and suddenly he was a designer. Roaches, YSL, Givenchy, Dior and Guerlain we’re suddenly at his door for bottles.
Imagine getting a day to spend in his company? The stories he could tell of design, people, perfume. That would be a day to remember forever.
