I was reading some material by Pierre Aulas (the artistic director at Parfums Mugler) and came across a reference that I deemed interesting. In it he presents his views on classics and in what he predicts will go down as "modern classics" in the near future. Let's hear the man out:
"In truth, very few products manage to become classics in both Europe and America. That said, on my list of the greatest perfumes for women are
Angel, (not a surprise),
Aromatics Elixir, Obsession, Opium, Hypnotic Poison, Féminité du Bois and
L’Heure Bleue, while, for men, my votes go to
Farenheit, CK One, Kenzo pour Homme, L'Eau d’Issey pour Homme, Aqua di Gio, Le Mâle and
Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme.
Future classics?
Coco Mademoiselle, J’adore, Chloé and, more specifically in Europe,
Alien and
Narcisco Rodriguez . For men, I think
Terre d’Hermes, especially in Europe. "
Which do you think of the current fragrances on shelves will go down as "modern classics"?
