Friday Musings
It seems I’m going through the lemming-free stage which quite often feels rather uncomfortable and downright wrong. I don’t mind it as much this time, however. I have an indecent amount of samples sitting on my dresser, and I can’t seem to get around to conducting proper testing sessions. I fear they’ll just end up in the bottomless pit, i.e., my sample box, and their only chance for survival will be the luck of the draw for my Needle In A Haystack project (which, by the way, Marina and I are still planning to continue). Such are my fragrant musings for today. Nothing too profound, I’m afraid, but I won’t leave you famished (ha!). Here’s a potential Lemming Of The Year:
Iris Ganache, the new addition to the Guerlain’s L’Art et la Matière collection, due to be released this June. I’m practically salivating just typing this: “Iris Ganache reveals an iris butter “worked like a pastry ganache”. A mouthwatering scent, like “white chocolate shaded with floral notes” and enhanced with cinnamon, bergamot, patchouli, white musks, cedar and a slightly ambery vanilla note” (Osmoz.com). Can I just say I’ll tear all my hair out and scream bloody murder if it even so much as dares to disappoint? I’m not particularly fond of Thierry Wasser’s creations (Addict by Christian Dior, Hypnose by Lancome) but the man knows how to work the gourmand theme. I find comfort in the fact Iris Ganache was created in collaboration with Sylvaine Delacourte who heads fragrance development at Guerlain. Meanwhile, I should really work on those samples.
What are your fragrant musings for today?
