wow! Jean prouvé meets gstar
its so crazy to see this as i just bought an old book on prouve! i never thought he was that popular to be introduced along with some clothing brand? the fashion house, g star raw, is teaming up with vitra to re-imagine several iconic pieces from the prouvé’s archive for the new prouvé raw line. as much as i hate to see prouvé be marketed this way i must say the stuff looks amazing, and in g star has helped reintroduce his work then it cant be that bad after all. i want ’em all. by dd

jean claude ellena – journal d’un parfumeur
“Pendant un an, j’ai tenu ce journal de façon assidue ou plus relâchée, décousue, sporadique, régulière, souhaitant partager quelque aperçu sur la vie d’un nez. J’imaginais que dans le désordre apparent de cette pensée ainsi exposée, au-delà des digressions ou des chemins de traverse, le lecteur entrant dans mes pas pouvait se construire une vision globale assez fidèle, significative, de ce qu’est la réalité d’un compositeur de parfums. Le fait est que beaucoup d’éléments de ma vie sont tendus vers cette forme d’expression particulière qu’est la composition d’un parfum. Mes pensées quotidiennes m’y ramènent souvent, en tout cas finissent toujours par y revenir, comme si j’étais tissé de cela. Les odeurs sont mes mots. Le maniement que j’en ai découle d’une logique, d’un instinct, d’un travail que je crois comparables à la démarche d’un écrivain lorsqu’il s’attelle à un livre. Je sais aussi que ce métier, parce qu’il est un art, est irréductible au langage et aux concepts. Avec ce journal, j’ai voulu simplement partager une expérience.“
sorry for those of you who can’t speak french but this book is “vraiment genial”, jean claude ellena is one of the big “nose” around, responsible for most of the great hermes fragrances as well as other none the less great fragrance for other prestigious maisons. through his writings, we get a glimpse about how romantic and different is his way to see the world. quite moving.
originally edited by hermes, the 150 pieces were coming in a special edition box with other things. i guess that must have been quite a must to have… well, we have the book now. by pp.
