Jean Couturier Coriandre

Nose: Jean-Louis Sieuzac

notes: coriander, aldehydes, angelica, bergamot, orange blossom; rose, geranium, violet root, ylang-ylang, iris, lily, jasmine; oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli, civet, musk, sandalwood

The "coriander" here is not the seeds, but the fresh green leaves of the cilantro plant. It doesn't smell quite like cilantro to me, but it is a springy chlorophyll-green herb, with a "dirty" 70s moss base. The clean-dirty contrast is almost like the feminine equivalent of an old-school fougere like Yatagan.

The rose kicks in at 5 hours -- a damascone-laden, tender ruby-red rose. Almost rosewater-like.

Coriandre isn't me, but it's certainly Something. Very red, very green.

Maison Crivelli, Byredo Mumbai Noise, Vintage Dior Fahrenheit - Skin Time January 2022

From India to Goodfellas — it’s Skin Time January 2022, with thoughts on Maison Crivelli, Byredo Mumbai Noise and vintage Dior Fahrenheit.

Maison Crivelli One of the advantages of coming to a brand late is that you can experience its output as a whole, in the olfactory equivalent of a single sitting. This total immersion (which, depending on the number of fragrances in question, can take anything from a few days to a couple of weeks) arguably makes it easier to chart the development of the house’s aesthetics: to draw conclusions…

Opium Secret de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent (1992)

Perfumer: Jean-Louis Sieuzac.

Best in House: Hermès

It is generally accepted that the two great designer houses for fragrance are Chanel and Hermès. Of the two, I must admit that I prefer the understated elegance of Hermès to the chic, cut-glass aldehydes I associate with Chanel. Generally, you will be quite safe with any Hermès fragrance, but here are five outstanding fragrances from the house that showcase its range.

Bel Ami - I own both the vintage version by Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Jean-Claude Ellena’s current reformulation of this spicy leather chypre. Both are utterly beautiful. Citrus notes lift up a smoky leather of the isobutyl quinoline variety that’s been infused with spices. The vintage offers a lovely depth with deep, throbbing, animalistic notes while the contemporary version shimmers with a complex hesperidic veil. Easily one of the top five leather fragrances of all time.

Terre d’Hermès - One of my favourite citrus scents, I found Terre d’Hermès arresting at first sniff. Bold and earthy, this fragrance by Ellena exudes confidence, light and angularity, with clean woods and darker green notes crisply shading in the fragrance and grounding it firmly. It has a strong presence, yet is still versatile enough for a variety of settings.

Hermèssence Épice Marine - This is certainly not the most popular of the Hermèssences but it is an excellent example of both Ellena’s minimalist style and the intent to compose olfactory “haikus” wherein two unexpected notes are juxtaposed for a startling effect. Here, Ellena takes the dreaded aquatic genre with cool “marine” notes and pairs that with a spicy warmth, especially cumin. Incredibly, it works.

Galop d’Hermès - I was hesitant to include another leather, but the house is known for its leather goods. This scent is also a good example of the creative flair in Hermès fragrances, as upheld by its latest nose, Christine Nagel. Despite including quince in its notes pyramid, this floral, feminine leather avoids the easy route of fruit or sueded texture by way of Cuir d’Ange or Serge Lutens’ Daim Blonde. This is an intellectual scent, the leather having a sterner, stiffer quality than the aforementioned scents, paired with an austere rose and softened a little with sweetness.

Twilly - This is not a personal favourite but I’ve included it to showcase Hermès’ range. Tuberose is typically either presented as the voluptuous, creamy queen of white florals or she is cleaned up, tucked in and de-clawed into a more demure composition. Either way, there is a maturity to the flower. Nagel takes the latter route but adds a creative, youthful slant, with her tuberose pepped up and shot through with ginger and spice.

I have to add Eau d’Hermès as a runner up. Composed by Edmond Roudnitska, this was the very first perfume by the house remains among one of its best, a citrusy scent with the added depth of cumin. The classic tension between the scent’s clean, aromatic side and its spicy, animal base makes this one of my favourites from the house. I’d include this, but it’s a bit too close to Bel Ami with its citrus-spice vibe.

Dior Dune

Dior Dune

Noses: Dominique Ropion, Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Nejla Barbir

Notes: rosewood, aldehydes, bergamot, mandarin, peony; lily, ylang-ylang, wallflower, jasmine, rose; sandalwood; amber, benzoin, oakmoss, vanilla, patchouli, musk

"it's a shortbread cookie!"

"wait no, it's a dry, buzzy, aldehydic floral!"

"it's a combination shortbread cookie and aldehydic floral!"

The "shortbread cookie" note is basically the same biscuit-y stylized vanilla as Givenchy Pi, but the decidedly unsweet, perfumey, floral top gives Dune more panache. That top note is a dry gray in tonality while the sweet bottom is beige; apparently the inspiration was originally not desert dunes but the cold beaches of Normandy, and I can see it. Gray sky above, beige sand beneath.

Lavender's not in the listed notes, but there is something lavender-esque about that gray floral, a dried-sachet quality.

Luca Turin considers it "bleak" and "unsmiling" and "unsettling", and I think I see what he's talking about, but really to me it just has a "suburban mom" aura. (This mom actually irons her shirts and plans trips to the mall with military precision.)

I'm fascinated by the balance of this thing -- how something so overtly sweet and vanillic can be simultaneously so cool and dry. Over time, the "top" and "bottom" blend smoothly into a buzzy uniform greige, like "stone"-colored chinos.

Like L'Eau D'Issey, Dune is a 90's phenomenon: a deceptively big and loud composition on a supposedly "subtle, minimalist" theme. L'Eau d'Issey is aiming at "transparent" but is actually an aggro white floral paired with an equally aggro aquatic note. Dune is aiming at "neutral beige", which, as Coco Chanel said, is usually restful; but Dune is built out of the dynamic tension between laundry briskness, mossy-dusty dryness, and powdery sweetness. It's an alert beige, an active beige. Does that mean Dune can get annoying? Yes. I'm not a huge fan of this 90's synthetic-vanilla thing to begin with; and a perfume vibrating with potential energy is inherently a little annoying. it never quite relaxes. But it's impressive. I keep smelling my wrist to see if it's collapsed into a "normal" powdery-vanilla thing, and nope! the structure still stands! still airy, still dry, still steel-reinforced and freshly polished!
