New niche fragrance line: Daniel Vaudd

Geez, everybody's a perfumer these days. Someone should have proofread his introductory text, though, as it is full of errors. Makes an unprofessional impression. As does not knowing there is no accent aigu in the word "chypre." Also, the idea of shower gel providing basenotes, cream the heart and fragrance the top is, well...challenging, as is releasing three chypres, pardon, chyprés for starters. Well, who knows, the perfumes may be divine, but then we all know marketing is far more important than quality in terms of economic success...

To create works of art in scent requires dedication and years of training. Each creation has taken over a year to complete. Unlike conventional perfumers, after studying organic chemistry, I read Cosmetic Science to better understand the topical effects of ethereal oils on skin. On completion, I then trained in perfumery.

Each product is complete within itself. Used in combination, you can then achieve a signature that is uniquely you. This concept came after creating a luxurious scent for a client. One evening at dinner, I noticed soapy and synthetic undertones to her aroma (to the perfume I had created). We discovered that her shampoo, conditioner and body cream had a significant cumulative effect. This effect is not easily noticeable in commercial fragrances because of the exceptional levels of synthetic ingredients used.

My creations are crafted with high levels of natural, rare and exotic oils, absolutes and resinoids. Using commercial/highly synthetic body products would detract from the complexities and beauty of the perfume structure.

The Chypre is simply the most refined and elegant style of perfume. It hides nothing and creates no fantasy. It is simply an extension of you, your desires and your intentions. It is for the individual who doesn’t need to transform; instead they transcend.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Vaudd.

Annoying slow flash website.. But I'm willing to sample when they're available.

"Daniel Vaudd’s wish is to create an exotic aura with a unique intensity for its recipient to heighten each individual’s encounter"
...is appalling English and utterly meaningless.

“create a world where the awakening of sexual strength becomes the grail"

We are all to used to mainline fragrance firms trying to use sex to sell fragrance but I would have thought that a young new perfumer would have wanted to be more original. This is just cringe-worthy.

Also, that world sounds like a really really bad idea.

Goodness, it is not in the Basenotes spirit to be this cynical or critical of a new release that no-one has actually even tried yet! Particularly from an artisan/non designer house.
Daniel, thank you for registering and commenting, and best of luck with your venture... these look rather interesting!

I am intrigued to try this new line of perfumes!

80% organic ingredients says nothing. You could make a 100% synthetic fragrance at 20% dilution, and use organic alcohol as your base, and you'd still have "80% organic ingredients."

Daniel, is the scent itself - the essential oils and aroma chemicals and anything excluding the alcohol - 80% organic, or does that 80% organic number figure in the alcohol?

Thanks,
~Seth
