‘The Little Book of Perfumes’ covers all-time scents
Two experts on perfume for women have published what just might be the definitive collection of classic fragrances.
Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez wrote "The Little Book on Perfume," which covers the world's 100 best scents, defining these products as the industry's "masterpieces." Four of the fragrances are no longer on the market and solely housed in the Osmotheque, a museum in France dedicated to perfume. Those four are: L’Origan, Chypre, Emeraude and Iris Gris.
According to a press release on the book, some of the other 96 scents may also be headed that way if we don't learn to appreciate them.
"Many perfumes are changing, some for the better but more often for the worse, due to negligence, penny-pinching, extraordinary regulatory decisions, misguided modernization and all the other shifts that can take your favorite perfume away from you forever," said the release.
Some of the more notable fragrances mentioned include Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume and Cristian Dior's Poison. Of course, this sent the gears in my head spinning, and I started to think about what I would include in a list of my own personal top 100 fragrances.
Not all are notable for their quality or place in pop culture. No, for my own list I would include ones that are memorable to me for the feelings or memories they may evoke. Like, for instance, Tresor, which is my mother's trademark. Or Light Blue perfume, which I wore on my first date and remains a bit of a good luck charm for me (not that my dates ever go as planned!).
So, what would you include if you were to write your very own little book?
Imprevou by coty or Revlon, cannot find it anywhere, seems to be lost
Blue Fox, which was sold in Rexall drug stores and cannot find anywhere.
Would love to locate both.
