he is listed as a perfumer with this photo posted on the yahoo perfummaking group but there is nothing even when I google him let alone bn search him. . .

did they get the name wrong?

google suggested I try Kirk but that turned out to be a manufacturer of widgets or something. . .

oh how upsetting I gave away a sample of narciso rodriguez for her without even trying it myself... that wasn't very smart.

well he certainly has a range with eau noire (aka ewww nooo) and what about this lancome miracle? interesting that here it gets many raves but from none of the hardcore BN reviewers who seem to have overlooked it.

sadly I'm not a fan of le male, although I have a funny feeling I might like fleur du male a bit better...

looks like he has done lots of the kind of work my pal Fred Malle said Edmond Roudnitska has done with the opera/performance/art + scent kinda thing.

wow he did demeter "holy water" and I've had on my mind a lot lately what gives holy water its peculiar fragrance. thought I would ask a priest....

anyway he's one hot hunk-o-nose!

He does have quite a range. I respect his creativity, but I tend to not like his scents much. And trust me, Miracle is nothing special. It actually could have been really good but it turns into a maple syrupy mess. Oh well.
