Tom Ford had already dealt with it back then in 2002 directing the YSL portfolio for fragrances, introducing M7 for men. But he had seen a good (?) thing in front of his eyes and he determined to make use of it. If M7 gained cult status thanks to its unusual scent, then surely Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-65276476088996167012014-08-07T11:26:32.660+01:002014-08-07T11:26:32.660+01:00M,

But I think M7 soon became a cult item and cult items either become best-sellers (Angel, Kouros) or they spark imitators (Bvlgari Black, Fracas). <br /><br />The important consideration nevertheless isn't the appeal to the market. It is the manufacturing of the appeal. A novel oud base became available, therefore the market should be hosed with oud, no matter Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-31158353752600010122014-08-07T11:18:29.059+01:002014-08-07T11:18:29.059+01:00Jen,

Just think back on the 80s scents: so revered from modern perfumistas for their boldness (and especially as many of them were too young to recall the drenching going on back then) and so anathematized by a previous generation of people who became hostile to perfume ever since. <br /><br />Real oud is a very difficult note: IPerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-77728147761486031342014-08-06T05:34:09.470+01:002014-08-06T05:34:09.470+01:00Tom Ford may have started the oud trend many years...Tom Ford may have started the oud trend many years ago with Oud Wood which was in his original line (his two other ouds were only added this past year) but other lines jumped on the oud bandwagon and inundated the universe with oud.

Funny thing is, I don't think M7 itself was particularly successful - the craze came later, between IFRA's killing of countless interesting materials and the niche explosion.<br /><br />Interestingly, Luca Turin claims that oud was introduced in western perfumery earlier, with Balenciaga ph, though they didn't say that.<br /><br />In any case, I hope that Chanel, caciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902017914305322799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-35798541624980294472014-08-05T16:55:04.852+01:002014-08-05T16:55:04.852+01:00Hah!

That about sums it up, who would have thought someday oud would hit the point of loathing that fruity florals, fruitchoulis, and aquatics have become for so many. Not me.
