What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
"Which fragrance, besides your own, do you wish you had created?
Bertrand Duchaufour: There is only one: Dior Homme by Olivier Polge."

Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Once again, Dior Homme doesn't really "wow" me.
It seems as though powdery fragrances (Tiffany for Men, New York, Dior Homme and Patou Pour Homme) are either praised or hazed for how they're put together. I have to be in the right mindset to see fragrances like these as more than just powdery. Otherwise, they're just not things I'd wear.
SEEKING BOTTLES OF:
Aramis New West (preferably old bottle)
Patrick by Fragrances of Ireland
Azzaro Aqua
Gloria by Cacharel
PM me if you have bottles that you're willing to sell or trade!
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Me too. I can barely look beyond strong ambers vanillas syrupy notes and powder in fragrances.

The man has good taste!

Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
I love Dior Homme. I'm sad I sold my bottle and will probably have to get another. Hell, I wish I created it.

I love the work of Olivier Polge, but for me, Dior Homme is not his best work. Cuir Beluga is pretty f*cking awesome.
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Dior Homme is a fragrance whose appeal is really an enigma to me -- it smells totally uninteresting and powdery to me. And I like quite a few of Duchafour's creations, so it's pretty interesting that he chose this.

Yes he does.Originally Posted by LiveJazz

I've probably already said it, but I really think it is the single best designer fragrance on the market right now.
I could be biased though, because I love iris.
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
What a great question and enlightening answer. Great thing to quote. Thanks Pluran.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Interesting. I'm in the not impressed camp, nothing really wowed me about it.
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
ditto!
In another interview, when he was asked to choose his own best creation he answered Eau D'italie Sienne L'Hiver. Seriously?
Sometimes the perception you have of your own work is very different form the perception that other people have.

Count me a fan - I think it's one of the best unisex designer frags out there. But the sweetness could do with a little toning down...
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Im baffled.
Re: What Bertrand Duchaufour Wishes He Had Created
Then why doesn't he move forward from his same ol' tired dark-incense and/or bitter notes formulas? Turn your wishes into actual product !
