Some recent photos I took for The Posh Peasant website: You can see the entire group of photos at the following link: Perfume Bottle Grouping on Flickr *Note: Abigail, the proprietor of The Posh Peasant, sent me a package of vintage perfume bottles to include in the photo shoot — the minute I opened that [...]

Fashion Industry News Roundup: 11/28/09

November 28, 2009

1.) Black Friday Numbers Spark Cautious Hope for Retailers:“Although malls around the country reported a rush of shoppers and filled parking lots throughout Black Friday, total sales for the day only saw a slight – and not a robust – improvement over last year . . . ‘Friday’s relatively strong performance isn’t always a bellwether [...]

Photos and Review: Dorissima Narziß (aka Narziss)

May 18, 2009

When you’re an independent perfume company, perhaps the smartest thing you could do would be to NOT name your fragrance something unpronounceable to the average (oh hell, *any*) consumer. Narziß? Really? That’s the best you could come up with? Because when I look at the name on the bottle, my brain immediately thinks, “Oh, yeah, [...]

Gianni Campagna

May 14, 2009

The Daily Mail noted back in September of 2008 that “more than half of all men’s colognes are bought by women, which is why the best-selling men’s fragrances are those best liked by women (something the industry’s ‘noses’ are very conscious of)”, so it’s not really a surprise that I’m starting to notice an uptick [...]

Parfums MDCI Sample Set

April 21, 2009

My Parfums MDCI sampler box arrived: Sticker shock for a full bottle of MDCI is not an uncommon occurrence — just over $600.00 for a two ounce crystal bottle with a bisque (unglazed ceramic) cap fashioned to look like a neo-classical bust (as in Bust of Napoleon) is high even for the world of niche [...]

Les Nereides Musc de Samarkand and Bois 1920 Come la Luna

April 10, 2009

LES NEREIDES MUSC DE SAMARKAND: A springtime-friendly musk — soft, sweet and girly as all get out. It’s not quirky or experimental, just casually pretty from beginning to end, and with decent longevity. The price point isn’t bad, either: $65.00 for 100ml (3.3 ounces). Listed scent notes: white flowers, vanilla, powdery notes, white musk, labdanum, [...]

Narciso Rodriguez for Him and Sinfonia di Note Coeur de Noisette

December 13, 2008

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ FOR HIM: I like Rodriguez’s designs. Louise has several of his dresses, and they fit exactly the way you’d expect a sleek, streamlined American high-fashion piece to fit — i.e. perfectly. Not a stitch out of place, not a body-hugging angle miscalculated. So it was with some trepidation that I approached Narciso Rodriguez [...]
