An Article on Chanel
February 5th, 2007
There’s yet another fascinating article in The Australian dedicated to the house of Chanel, its resident perfumer Jacques Polge, its deputy perfumer Christopher Sheldrake (also the nose behind most Serge Lutens creations), and the new Les Exclusifs. “The creators at Chanel have complete freedom, whether it’s Karl Lagerfeld in fashion or Jacques Polge in the fragrance world, Sheldrake says. “The creation leads the business, not marketing, so there is never the likelihood that we are going to come up with a compromise”. I don’t know about you but I’ll most likely rip out my hair if Les Exclusifs disappoint.
P.S. It looks like I’ve come down with a head cold, and my nose is barely functioning. When all is clear again, reviews of the Etat Libre d’Orange fragrances will follow.

Get well soon Ina!
Like you, my grip is ready for if the Exclusifs disappoint. I’m thinking a forelock tug may suffice - I have to save room for all those uber-pricey Tom Fords.

I hope you feel better, my love.
Have you been snogging with Marinochka AGAIN ?
[She was fighting off a cold yesterday…]
Keep warm, and be good to yourself- I’ll send you virtual onion soup.

Feel better!! Congrats once more on your stardom!!! I am dying for those Chanels (my CC is already dead)!

I’m torn. I really do want them to live up to they hype, but my cc is over in the corner doing a little Indian dance to rain on their parade and have them turn out to be fairly insipid. I don’t think it will work. I think I’m financially doomed. And, if I haven’t mentioned it before, it bears repeating…I *adore* Chris Sheldrake.
Stay out of that frigid weather, drink chamomile tea and have Mr. A go out and get you more copies of yesterday’s Chicago Tribune w/ the article in the Style section that features you and your collection. Yep…running away fast now!

First Marina and now you? Stay warm, baby! Matzoh ball soup it up and stay under the blankets..

Leo, thanks! You’re so right on the Tom Fords (although I’m a little angry with this current trend of uber-exclusive uber-expensive perfumes).

Chaya, onion soup? Wah! I want some! Yep, been snogging with Marina. I heart her.

Judith, thank you! Laughing at the “stardom”.
10. Ina | February 5th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Elle, tsk, tsk. What shall I do with you… hopeless case!
11. Ina | February 5th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Robin, thanks! Definitely need to stay warm.

Tom, never had this soup! Must try! Under a fleece blanket presently, wearing all fleece.
