Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

Have you seen my comment #18, Advocate?
I've asked Robin @ Now Smell This and the team behind the Perfume Intelligence about the sources they used. The answer from Ronin is in that comment. A...

Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

Roberto, it's difficult to talk when you don't mention any sources to support your statements.
As mentioned before Miss Balmain is probably created by Harry Cutler (you can see the sources in the...

Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

That's exactly what I did. And it brings me a lovely pyramid of each scent with pictures of ingredients. And the "close" button next to it. Nothing else - no information on perfumers.

Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

Thanks for your answer, RHM.

Well - the original question was about Balmain. But I am really interested to get information on perfumes created by Germaine Cellier.

Re: Who created Miss Balmain?

It's not entirely true. There are two more references for the fragrance "Madame Balmain". If you google for it in a book section than you can find the following:

Re: The Serge Lutens Showdown: Your Favourite Fragrance

It's a bit unfair! How can I choose just one fragrance from a brand I like so much? But ok, the one I've voted for is Tubereuse Criminelle.

Although Fille en Aiguilles is my new favorite (but I...

Re: Looking for a dark chypre

Black+Chypre=Leather Chypre - sounds like a logic equation to me, so Bandit is the one you might like (or try Cabochard that is a little bit more floral).

Re: S o t D, Wednesday, 1 July 2009

1. Tested vintage Joy EDT vs. Eau de Joy in the morning- a lot of fruity marmelade in the first one (delicious) and too much cats in another. Just too vintage.

Re: Rose Chyprée by Andy Tauer

Do you smell incense there too?
