The colors of scents
"Nuance,' "palette,' "brightness,' but also pink, green, white musks and blonde woods: The vocabulary of painters is readily used to describe smells, and brands themselves often borrow the names of colors to baptize their fragrances, from Bleu by Chanel to Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, by way of Dior's Gris Montaigne or Guerlain's Habit rouge.
Sight, the dominant sense in our world, has a considerable influence on our olfactory perception. Some of us even see colors appearing when they smell, and vice versa.
Does this synesthesia have a physiological explanation? In perfume shops and on social media, do certain colors for bottles draw the consumer's attention more than others? How do you manage to maintain a product's color over time? Are there correspondences between the color and the fragrance of a plant in nature? Also, why does the skin or hair color of individuals still arouse prejudices about their odor, and how does it influence their place in the industry? The color of scents tells us much more than what our eyes let on... -

FASHION & FRAGRANCE
Intimately bound since their first encounter over a century ago, fashion and fragrance share more than a common history: How does the relationship between couture and scent unfold?
The match between fashion and fragrance, more than a century ago, sparked a revolution in the industry. The era saw the rise of couturiers-perfumers whose creations were conceived to complement the style of each couture house. The clothes, the scents and their boxes form a coherent and strategic whole, perfumery representing a lucrative activity that allows consumers to access part of the dream of haute couture. Thus, most of today's international mainstream brands are associated with fashion designers, jewelers or leather goods brands.How has this relationship evolved and how is it organized nowadays? Are dresses and perfumes constructed the same way? If Jersey, Habit rouge, La Petite Robe noire and Grey Flannel borrow from clothing, do fabrics - new, old, leather or sportswear - have olfactory messages for us? Perfumery, like couture, follows the zeitgeist and reflects the metamorphoses of its times. But do fragrances echo the same rhythm as fashion trends? And isn't valuing great classics finally the best way of never being out of style? -

?As time goes by They take us back to the past and connect us to the present: What is the link between smells and time?
?Unfolding gradually in the air and on skin, perfume is often described as an art of time. In more ways than one, actually, since it involves our sense of smell, whose capacity to carry us back into the past is well known. Why is this sense so connected to our memory and the emotions that are linked to it? And since odors are so hard to conserve, is an archaeology of smells possible?
Time is also needed to produce fragrance: Months or even years are necessary to grow perfume plants and transform them, but also for perfumers to elaborate the perfect formula. How does our society, with its drive for immediate results, put up with this slowness, and can the industry speed up the process? As nature's products are in essence neither uniform nor constant, how can the regularity demanded by the market be ensured in compositions, all while complying with the restrictions that affect the perfumer's palette and the scent of great classics?
Lastly, what is revealed by consumers' growing obsession with the long-lastingness of fragrances, as though they couldn't bear to part with them? -
