Comments on: Talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does! http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/2007/10/talk-to-your-daughter-before-the-beauty-industry-does/ 2 Perfume Bloggers Meet 2 Perfumers Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:37:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Nobi http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/2007/10/talk-to-your-daughter-before-the-beauty-industry-does/#comment-17418 Nobi Mon, 08 Oct 2007 20:10:30 +0000 http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/2007/10/06/talk-to-your-daughter-before-the-beauty-industry-does/#comment-17418 Funny, your comment reminded me how I got into this weird world of scent. My friends once had a brand called 31 Fevrier, and they incorporated scent into their bags. I got the introduction to the fragrance industry thanks to them. As for Mobile Art, I've only seen the rendering and don't know anything more. Zaha Hadid's design is too masculine (funny to say so) and too sharp for me. I have a tendency to skip information on her work (I'm not a sexist, though). I should check it out. Thanks. Funny, your comment reminded me how I got into this weird world of scent.

I even invite them to steal other great ideas I have on my computer. :))) By the way, do you now anything about Mobile Art Project from Chanel/Zaha Hadid. I heard that there will be also some polysensorial experience around the Chanel bag...including smell. But I have no more details for the fragrance part. Let them steal it!

It is as simple as 1, 2 and may happen next year! And you are right about borrowing ideas from other industries. The fragrance industry needs to learn a lot of things from other fields like auto, fashion, architecture, and music. The industry is too narrow minded.

It could give luxury image to houses that lost it the late years and it's cheaper than custom made fragrance. I have plenty ideas to borrow from fashion world-system...:) In fashion all the nice models are made on standard size but women who can afford and pay...does not have standard sizes, on the contrary. The designer doesn't complain that his creation/idea is changed... is just adapted by other persons in the same house. In a funny way it would be like saying: you have Black Orchid in S, XS, XXL size and...custom tailored. :) Or, by an in-house perfumer, working like in a parisian “couture house” - retouching your perfume.

Just to put a small GC device in the boutique that "would trap" your skin scent and do a nice marketing show, a perfumer... and the "special service" is finished. I agree most perfumers would think it's a sacrilege when not the original creator is involved but...there are so many changes in today's word and things that 20 years ago seemed "sacrilege" now are current... I don't see that a big problem. A good idea for Tom Ford... to tailor his fragrances to the end, so he has the whole concept as for the clothes.

I think it will sooner or later become a reality... what do you think? I hope this won't be done by someone without proper training.

But changing legs, hands, faces.... was done also by Diana Vreeland in Vogue US and Bazaar. It is a way fashion works, but I agree with you, today it became...surreal! A good idea for a fragrance consultation program: give me your favorite fragrance, I will retouch it to match your skin, etc...:)) Yes, the mascara!
