All I might add is that while a perfumer might have a preferred accord (Maurice Roucel's magnolia, Annick Ménardo's smoky vanilla) or a favored style, they're usually working for "the man", and as such, have to churn out whatever sausage the customer has ordered.<br /><br />If a perfumer Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-59527557114862078262009-11-11T07:34:31.655+00:002009-11-11T07:34:31.655+00:00Tender/Olga, I love your question, and I've tu...Tender/Olga, I love your question, and I've turned it into the next "Viewer Mail".Katie Puckrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816871787892998256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-51104797830059921602009-11-10T16:18:04.344+00:002009-11-10T16:18:04.344+00:00Hi Katie,

IMHO, the great noses of today do tend to create in a certain style, and one can sometimes discern the fingerprints of a perfumer (and even guess the authorship correctly without knowing beforehand). That said, many perfumers have also developed and matured during the course of their careers, moving from one style to Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004279009097135466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-25617952841592786622009-11-09T16:47:26.046+00:002009-11-09T16:47:26.046+00:00Hey guys!

And thanks so much for responding to my question, Katie. <br /><br />I actually was smelling a new perfume on my skin last Friday (Prada Amber Pour Homme) and I decided my favorite thing about it was the soapy-incense smell left behind on my skin (it doesn't have incense in it, but that's what it smells like to me).

The thing I love best is that something you sniff today could smell different tomorrow. And come back to it a year or two later, after having sniffed 500 other 'fumes in between, and you'll be able to pick up on different ahsumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427978699016426860noreply@blogger.com
