Bond No.9 have launched Cooper Square, named for the place where the East Village meets NoHo, and the Bowery and the "new über-Downtown begin." Bond continue: "For a century and a half, it’s modestly served as the front yard to Cooper Union, that world-famous architecture and engineering institution, and as a strategically located sliver of a park where traffic barreling down from uptown swerves and merges to form the start of uber-Downtown, otherwise known as the Bowery. But today, Cooper Square itself is in motion, zooming into the 21st century—and acquiring a new image as the latest New York hot-spot (worthy of the Bond No. 9 treatment, its own eau de parfum)."

Lauder were quick to clarify that the fragrance would still be available, and true to its word, the scent has been re-issued.

On the forums, Sniffa posts: Everyone has their own signature and secret fragrances. I think sharing on Basenotes is great, but when it comes to people asking me what I wear after giving some compliments (both men and women), I don't want to share it and end up having everyone in the office wearing the same scents.

Amouage create Memoir fragrances inspired by Baudelaire

Published on 8th September 2010 10:39 AM

Amouage have announced the launch of Memoir Man and Memoir Woman. Consistent with the fragrances released over the past three years, Memoir presents a new chapter in the narrative conceived by Creative Director, Christopher Chong. Bucking the industry norm of a dominant woman’s fragrance, Chong instead conceived the two Memoir fragrances from a male point of view. Memoir Man, a Fougère, took the creative lead that then informed the development of Memoir Woman.

Over the next month, Harrods is holding the Perfume Diaries Exhibition, which is a showcase of the past, present and future of the perfume industry. Basenotes had the chance to attend a preview last week, hosted by the exhibition's curator, Roja Dove. Unsurprisingly, given Dove's background at Guerlain, the exhibition features many bottles from Guerlain's long history. But there many historical exhibits from other historic houses such Chanel, Lubin, Floris, Grossmith's and Penhaligon's.
