As far as the rock star perfumer topic goes, yes it did go a bit over their heads many times but I actually prefer this attitude (only of course if the quality of one's work remains the same) rather than the companies taking the praise for the work done!MariaAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-67996827695814851682012-05-21T07:30:59.901+01:002012-05-21T07:30:59.901+01:00Maria,

I like Fidji to this day, though it seemed lusher in older bottles, didn't it? <br /><br />By now, I kinda have gotten bored with the perfumers=rockstars notion I have to say. It's been used as a tool to promote anything else but the work done. It's gone over their heads and over their fans' heads; that's the feeling I get Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-3388560636037774032012-05-21T07:27:57.754+01:002012-05-21T07:27:57.754+01:00Noetic,

I wonder whether this knowledge however sometimes instead of freeing perception ends up reining it a bit. It's a thought.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-38972338474646900202012-05-21T07:26:56.021+01:002012-05-21T07:26:56.021+01:00D,

It's a funny thing how up till a few years ago (before the boom of the blogosphere) the tale at Lauder was how Estee had composed it herself. She did have a great eye and a good mind to choose it (and others) over specimens sent to her to choose, though, didn't she.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-55549571444983142842012-05-19T10:53:02.657+01:002012-05-19T10:53:02.657+01:00Wow she was the creator of Fidgi?!

Many years ago we were not privy to the geniuses behind some of our beloved fragrances (as well as the notes!). Nowadays everything is pretty much an "open book" and it is actually fun for me to research the notes and the perfumers behind the over 400 fragrances I have noetic owlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-35704627766343224162012-05-18T22:03:25.788+01:002012-05-18T22:03:25.788+01:00Thanks for this write-up.
