See the Fragrantica classification of Guerlain for instance ;-)<br /><br />There is a very significant, pulpable effort to take the heritage of not just Guerlain, but its most famous fragrance, ie. Shalimar (and the legend and romantic Eastern story that goes with it), into the 21st century. Hence ALL the efforts of modernisation havePerfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-34810755497154132252011-12-30T20:04:15.199+00:002011-12-30T20:04:15.199+00:00E,

(That sort of answers the logic, I suppose) <br /><br />I hope you get to love the Jasmin Noir, it's a wonderful modern mainstream, very well-crafted, complex and refined, and highly complimented Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-55515689168520014292011-12-30T19:57:55.270+00:002011-12-30T19:57:55.270+00:00I'm curious to see if Shalimar Parfum Initial ...I'm curious to see if Shalimar Parfum Initial will become a line at its own. Maybe we will still see a parfum version of it? My tantrum with it is in parts due to the name. It'd work perfectly as Guerlain Parfum Initial, something that suggests the brand's heritage but creates something new. It could have been much more honest i think. But then, it's a commertial success, so they Henriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630121891497607648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-69904976339957622432011-12-29T20:27:12.489+00:002011-12-29T20:27:12.489+00:00The Idylle Duet flanker sounds interesting, I like...The Idylle Duet flanker sounds interesting, I like Idylle but was disappointed by the Rose Patchouli Duet, I'm very fond of jasmine though!

"Jasmine" is a very popular note for white floral compositions, which are considered "young" and therefore desirable to produce from a marketing point of view.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-40104088028138649722011-12-29T15:50:25.455+00:002011-12-29T15:50:25.455+00:00It is curious to see all these "jasmine"...It is curious to see all these "jasmine" names in perfumes now that jasmine has been severely restricted.<br /><br />caciocaciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902017914305322799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-71666678159317868422011-12-29T09:40:12.323+00:002011-12-29T09:40:12.323+00:00S,

Jasmine never really withers here I guess, but as soon as the lilacs bud you know it's spring for earnest. <br /><br />Have a happy new year, both of you!Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-64179962141371486682011-12-29T09:36:46.612+00:002011-12-29T09:36:46.612+00:00A,
