Kolnisch Juchten - Jean Marie Farina

November 14th, 2007 by webmaster

Name Jean Marie Farina is known owing to the persistence on manufacture and distribution of the very first cologne - the Cologne Water. We shall leave behind brackets of this review of reasoning on the one who at whom has stolen or has bought recipe Eau de Cologne and who is the real legal owner of this recipe. Except for the Cologne Water, the company made also other colognes - for example - Kolnisch Juchten.
Today this cologne is taken away from manufacture and has already practically sunk into history. However, it still can be found in private collections or to be bought in perfumery shops selling out the stocks. It is a rectangular bottle of dark green glass with a red cover and a white label. We did not manage to find date of its invention, however by easy leather aroma, it is possible to assume, that it could be released in the first half of the XX century, prior to the beginning of the Second World War.
Aroma is quiet and soft. Initial citruses are muffled by the suede note. Suede is dark and little bit smoked.
Kolnisch Juchten it is created for impregnate clothes and air in the house, a bathroom and ties, bed sheets and towels, handkerchiefs and a life with its smell.

- decorative cosmetics, the clearing and humidifying means containing salicylic acid.
After the first trimester you can use cosmetic means of local action. Do not forget that humidifying and clearing means and decorative cosmetics should not contain fat.

Fresh and healthy complexion

November 8th, 2007 by webmaster

Weariness, stress, environmental contaminations make our skin look tired… When experts of Laboratory Vichy have set for themselves a problem to define the reasons of such changes, it was found out, that the light and a healthy complexion depends both on a condition of a surface of the skin and on correct microcirculation in its deep layers.

Eau de Protection - Etat Libre d ` Orange

November 7th, 2007 by webmaster

The full name of aroma reminds a sequel of the Hollywood movie: Eau de Protection Rossy de Palma. And a name of known Spanish actress Rossy de Palma is not occasional. This aroma opens a new collection of aromas - aromas for “stars”.
However, the general concept has not changed - chosen “stars” are not well-known heroes of the foreground. More likely these “stars” surprise with the color and singularity.
Rossy de la Palma has chosen a theme of a rose, the favorite flower for the aroma. It is fine and womanly, it asks for protection, but it is also so much independent.
Spicy, bright and hot rose, soft and oily Bulgarian pink oil - but with blood and fire, the rose is prickly and with black pepper. The beginning of aroma is a “women on the verge of nervous failure”, nerves and stress, an internal pressure and aggression. Citron aroma of a bergamot is added by citric zinziber. The corpulent sated aroma does not excite and does not freshen, but it just pierces. But soon thorns disappear and corpulent and warmed by the sun a rose, quiet and calming the associates, weighed and judicious mother of family comes. This rose is ordinary and tamed. This transformation occurs because of spicy earthy, a sweet green geranium and vanilla. But what remains from a former rose? Proud neck and feminity.
Unlike the previous aromas in identical glass parallelepipeds, bottle Eau de Protection has got a decor in the form of a dragon. On a box the black Chinese dragon and a magnificent bright red rose is represented.
Eau de Protection Rossy de Palma - Etat Libre d ` Orange (Antoine Lie, Antoine Maisondieu, 2007). A rose, zinziber, cardamom, black pepper, a jasmine, a geranium, cocoa.

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.
