Thanks very much - as always it's difficult to cut the list down, but I felt like these are most emblematic of Grojsman's ouvre.
As for Rose Rebelle Respawn, I understand that it's meant to be quite similar to 100% love, although haven't smelled it myself.

Very nice, Nick. And I love the photo choices, too. It truly puts me in in a state of awe whenever I read about any great artist and his/her wonderful world-changing contributions to humanity. These creations have each influenced the very language we speak and the way we see the world. That is just a stunning thing for anyone to accomplish in a life.
Thank you for the inspiration such reminders give to all of us to strive to do more as humans.

Thanks for this--interesting as I had heard the name, of course, but never knew which fragrances were hers. Oddly enough, I am not a fan of any of them (and actually detest the smell of Tresor on a woman), but can certainly appreciate her talent. Yvresse was given to my wife as a gift from a friend coming to stay who bought it in duty free (as "Champagne," then)--such a nice gesture--but it is the only time in twenty some years of marriage that I asked my wife to wear it when I was not around. Luckily she didn't much like it either, so it went to a good home elsewhere. I can see how Paris is considered a great perfume--I do admit--but I just happen not to like the smell of roses so it is a real miss for me.

I have Yvresse and Calyx, and they are both oddities and not easy to wear, I find, but really fascinating. She is still active but I wonder how interesting she finds the work these days: she recently did a fragrance for the line love2love, a brand owned by Walmart....

Excellent summary as usual. And of course one could have talked about even more perfumes.
Does anybody know the relation between 100% love and rose rebelle respawn. I never smelled 100% love, but from the descriptions, rose rebelle sounds like it's doing the same thing.
As for Yvresse/Champagne, I am hypersensitive to some material there, because I find it suffocating-go figure.
