nez has become one of my favorite fragrance lines. so far i only have folia and armoressence, both purchased without even trying them, but i adore it!! armoressence is my signature scent, i get so many compliments. can’t wait to try more of their fragrance
Armoressence probably plays on the word "armure", which naturally means armour, but also the weave of a fabric, as in weave, warp and thread in textile creation. Fantastic series! Folia, Le Lac (des Cygnes ? Swan Lake, the reference is, I suppose?) and Adorem are favourites of mine. Thank you for the great discovery!
I think the name Folia cames from garden follies. The artist Eva Jospin has created one and it is called... Folie. And it is placed in some French gardens. The notes of the perfume are also very green, herbal... But maybe I am wrong 😊😊😊
Jospin is pronounced like Zhospa(n) and, um, naturally the name Folia is a reference to leaves (cf. folio, portfolio, foliage, etc.). Thanks for the information though.
Hello! I'm just 1/3 into the video, but I am wondering what is the difference between this type of collaboration series, obviously marketed to entice intellectuals/stylistas/those of us (including myself, no doubt) who are interested in the more sophisticated "stuff in life" lol, versus the usual celebrity perfumes (a category that to me includes social media influencer collaborations). I might be wrong, but I read that most influencer and celebrity perfumes are made where, after the contract has been signed, they are presented with an array of ready-to-launch formulations, from which they choose one and then work with brand to discuss marketing narratives/strategies. I truly can't imagine these outside-perfumery artists here had any real hand in coming up with these fragrances. If you know about the process of how brands create these so-called collaborations w/r/t fragrances, please let us. Or if you've done a video on it, please let us know that too. Thank you!
My understanding is that, in this range, the collaborators were 100% involved and they had the final say in which 'draft' would go into production. Thanks for watching.
The artists are indeed very involved in these projects. It is not the usual marketing stuff you are describing. You can read all about the process in the different NEZ magazines published at the same time the perfume was presented to the perfume afficionados. There are a few pages each time which describe the meetings, the personality of both artist and perfumer of each project, what they had in mind, the different steps of the perfume making (intellectual process as well as the perfume trials)...it's quite interesting. You might like or not the result (the scent itself) but the approach is undoubtedly fascinating!
My guess is “plasticienne” is what we call the “plastic arts” ie. sculpture, ceramics, molding etc
Yes, good point. Thank you.
spot on, usually specialising in a certain material.
They'd be a "plastic artist" then?

Yes, it’s a very strong line.
Thanks for watching.
Your description of Folia is spot on. I love it and also have Adorem (after your review) which is perfection.
Ah, I'm so pleased you like it too.
Same, I have those two!
@@helenem6458aren’t they great!

Thanks very much indeed for watching.
This collection seems like a lot of fun to try!
Absolutely!

This sounds very likely.

Do they ever re-release their scents? Most of the ones you tried are sold out
No, I believe they’re limited editions.
I briefly address the issue of availability in the video.

Oh my, these seem freightening!
They're extremely interesting.
