And I hope my French friends won't be pissed at me for saying this - generally Frenchmen in the fragrance industry are not used to doing jaw-dropping things, BUT they are good at doing things in an elegant and modern manner. Kurkdjian's website is very elegant, flawless and has a twist of modern coolness - just like Frédéric Malle does things. That's their strength! However, they shouldn't try to be 'revolutionary', then it becomes a poor joke ;) socalsocool, I agree.

While studying his fragrances in school I found how difficult is to match them (only by nose). The way he plays with white flowers is just divine. Also the way he interpreted Prunol to create Jungle or the way he plays with cashmeran. Only thinking of Carnal flower and the idea of having a fragrance done by him sounds magnific. I think that Jean Claude Ellena as a in house perfumer set a trend in the ecuation famous perfumer+old house+modern fragrances+ lot of niche fans = prestige. Lanvin would be an interesting house to have a perfumer or to play with their patrimoine as Chanel or Guerlain does today. What will happen to Symrise? Will they split forever into Flavors(and nutrition) and Scent (and care)? Dominique Ropion is my favorite perfumer.
