Le Vetiver de Lubin

November 2nd, 2007 by webmaster

House Lubin - one of the oldest perfumery houses of France - has been based in 1798. It delivered production not only in all imperial court yard of the Europe, but also imported the aromas to the USA.
When Lubin has returned on the market two years ago, new aroma with old name Idole de Lubin became already the 466-th for this House. However, in October, 2007 Lubin has represented two more novelties, and now their total number makes 468.
The present owner of the House has redeemed the rights to mark to own means. Thus he was guided by exclusively patriotic feelings while his former owner of mark, House Wella, did not see commercial potential in Lubin. However, death of Lubin meant deletion of two centuries of history of the French perfumery.
House Lubin has already released aroma Le Vetiver de Lubin - since second half XIX century before the First World War. However, tastes of buyers since those times have changed a lot, and the perfumery stepped far forward.
Initial idea of aroma relies in winter vetiver. The winter for the Frenchman associates with Russia. Cold snow winters, boundless woods, orthodox churches with myrrh oil aroma, noblemen and tsars… However, vetiver is a tropical plant of Southeast Asia from which rhizomes receive fragrant oil with the earthy, bitter and sated smell. So, their combination “winter in tropics” should become quite original.
Spicy and tart, aroma could remind dark green mulled wine with an abundance of citrus and spices among which the carnation and a nutmeg are especially allocated.
The transparency and acuteness of citron notes (a lemon, a bergamot) is shaded by the mix of pepper, a nutmeg and a carnation.
Le Vetiver de Lubin (Lucien Ferrero, 2007). Citruses, vetiver, a nutmeg, myrrh, frankincense, a carnation, the Caribbean pepper, cedar, tobacco.

Since then aromas Ormonde Jayne are creative leaders of the selective market of English perfumery: practically in each aroma rare or unique natural components are used.
At Linda laughed, when in structure of her first duet of aromas (Ormonde Man and Ormonde Woman) the note Canadian black hemlock has been declared. It was the first time, when this resinous wood was used in perfumery. Therefore Linda has decided to include it in structure - some nuances distinguished it from traditionally used components: pines, fur-trees, a juniper and a cypress, let alone a legion of synthetic molecules with wood aroma.
Other component Ormonde Man, aloe tree is also quite unusual. Though since ancient times it was used both by Arabs, and Japanese, and Chineses for making clothes and presents to deities - original wood-balsam aroma with medical accent is unusual for Europeans, and a rarity, gallop of quality and the high price of oil does not allow using it commercially. Here Linda managed to hide its medical mustiness, having left on a kind the bitter wood party and surprising stability.

The most actual jewellery of the season: avant guarde and piracy romanticism

October 8th, 2007 by webmaster

Jewellery is an excellent way to change an image and to place accents.
Beautiful jewellery often looks better, than precious ornaments. Collections of jewellery of many popular designers, for example, John Richmond and Vivienne Westwood and also revolutionary vanguard marks - The Branch, Ugo Cacciatori, and Iosseliani are the real masterpiece. Jewellery can be different: bright and shocking, amusing and original, refined and womanly.
Jewellery of line John Richmond Accessories is rather expressive, intriguing and causing for bright and self-assured women.
Naturalness. In most cases, when someone tells you: “It is fashionable now” - do not trust. it is not desirable to talk about what is really fashionable. More likely it can be seen in collections of those designers that go on a step forward and their creations are non-standard, and their taste never coincides with mass opinion. Founders of vanguard ornaments are beyond the ordinary; they do not recognize stereotypes and resolutely preach individuality. For example, Wendy Pickard, the foundress of mark The Branch, has for a long time traveled through the countries of East and Central Africa, where wood long since was considered as a precious material. The Branch is exclusive jewellery collections, made manually of black rosewood and silver of 925 tests.
Piracy romanticism. Rings with color stones, suspension brackets with skulls, circuits with swords - piracy romanticism is in the air. Ugo Cacciatori jewellery approaches both for men, and for women -those, who have faultless taste and feeling of style, for example, Madonna.
Gothic style. Black clothes, the varnished shoes, silver accessories - these are, perhaps, the most fashionable and actual image for today. However, not everyone will dare on such shocking step. Jewellery from Caption or Goti collection is the best complement. And jewellery from Goti is a good example of modern Gothic glamour. It combines details from leather, onyx, a brass and silk.
