    regarding Pierre Bourdon. His concept of Davidoff cool water was already accepted by Creed and turned into Green Irish Tweed. But apparently they didn’t want him to claim credit for it. So he went on to make Cool water. Another creation of his is Silver Mountain Water. This was a rejected submission to one of Issey Miyake’s briefs which Creed again scooped up. He also made Mellisime Imperial, EROLFA. Funny thing is, Olivier Creed never paid him for his creations. He just walked into Pierre’s office in Paris, and scooped what ever rejected submissions he had in return for a tailored suits (that’s what Creed really is. It’s a bespoke tailor shop, not fragrance makers. Olivier Creed had an excellent nose, that appreciated Pierre’s work when designer houses rejected it. But he’s not a perfumer. He took Pierre’s work for free virtually. Made up a story about how he was inspired to make the fragrance. And sold it as his creation. Pierre, in addition to a tailored suit for every perfume, was promised a generous retirement payment from Creed, which he never got. Green Irish was marketed as inspired by a walk in the Irish country side, which it wasn’t. Silver mountain water as inspired by a trip in the Alps which it wasn’t. Himalaya was inspired when Olivier climbed the summit, which he didn’t, EROLFA as inspired by a Creed family sailing trip in the Mediterranean which isn’t true, Mellisime Imperial as a bespoke fragrance for king Faisal of Saudi, which isn’t true. In fact, many celebrities and royalties wrote complaints to the house of Creed, asking them to stop using their names falsely for marketing their fragrances under the threat of legal action.

      Frank Sinatra never told Creed to stop using his name for Bois de Portugal. Was that a lie? Considering the cost of a bespoke suit from creed, and the fact there was no litigation between Piere Bourdan nor the Creeds tells me you're embellishing your story, somewhat, for what purpose, I have no idea.... There was compensation to Bourdan, but for tax (IRS purposes), a $25k bespoke suit works out just fine...

      @@edgeg400 This’s not the place for me to write a proper reply to you. If in fact you’re wondering, I would suggest reading ‘the ghost perfumer’. Matter of fact is Creed’s entire image was built on lies. If Sinatra didn’t complain, doesn’t mean their lies become true. That their fragrances are bespoke fragrances made for royalty decades or centuries before they were released to the public is utter BS. And that’s a fact, not an opinion.

    That’s so tough. Perfumers are so similar to musicians. Some scents they create discontinue because they went unnoticed for so long. Just too amazing for their time. And once people realize what they’re missing, it’s gone 😢 RIP V&A M.I.P.

    I worked for a multinational Spanish company of perfumes (you should know which one I’m referring to) and yes, your presentaton depicts pretty much how new fragrances are developed. In this particular company for instance, the same brief is delivered to 2-3 different fragrance suppliers to have them coming up with their best single submission (which previously had to be consumer tested against the benchmark). Once the submissions from fragrance houses are received, they are consumer tested in different markets (countries) to select the final winner.
    Consumer testing and expert panel evaluations are critical to ensure viability of the new fragrance and guaranty big marketing budget behind new releases.

      Here licorice is one of the best smells, since it reminds people of their childhood.

    There is a docu-series on net flex talking about products that are dangerous and one of the videos is all about fragrance. They say that anything that has fragrance in it is super harmful to humans that it messes with hormones and a bunch of really scary stuff. I’m not gonna look it up to give all the accurate details here, but after I watched it I was scared to wear any more fragrances… until the next morning when I was getting ready for work and I looked all my expensive fragrances and picked my favorite one to wear for the day.
    I would love to find out that the series was misleading or wrong though.

    • @awkwardme5375
      @awkwardme5375 2 роки тому +1

      For 1 litre, or roughly a kg of a finished product, production cost is typically $50-$80. This is in the world of majority upper-end designers and niche. For some indie houses making extraits using mostly (or exclusively) insanely expensive, high quality naturals (think Slumberhouse, Pineward, Bortnikoff, Gather, etc...), that number is likely WELL over $100.

If you're asking about raw materials, then there are perfumery material vendors/sites which sell raw materials in amounts as low as 4ml, which can be anywhere from like $5 for something like dilute ambroxan to $80 for an oud blend. Anything in between from white musks and castoreum to Jasmine sambac and tobacco leaf absolute is available from those site - supplied from the main companies that Ash mentioned in the video.
