The brand that saved us from smelling like cheap shower gel, uneventful fabric softeners, blue windex and the airport Duty Free section, thank you Frederic Malle! ❤️️
I am a composer, and I just love watching masters in their creative field talk about their craft. I especially love how many of them are fans of music as I am often inspired by fragrance! Thank you Frédéric for this conversation and bringing these great artists together!
Exceptionnelle émission, j’aurais pu continuer à vous écouter encore et encore tant je vous trouve toute et tous intéressants. Merci de nous rendre la vie plus douce avec vos créations. Je ne me lasserai jamais d’une fleur de cassie…Merci à Isabelle Giordano de nous les avoir réunis et fait parler.
The masters of scents! If you love perfumes, this video will open your mind re the creative process and all the other elements that must come into synch before perfumes hit the shelves. I own and use Frédéric Malle perfumes and I find it enlightening and enchanting to listen to their creators ... and to understand how the personalities of these creators affect their perfumes!
I have so much respect for Malle and all the perfumers he’s worked with. His concept of Editions de Parfums are inspiring; we need to just truly be our best selves
I’m not surprised that avant garde artists were rejected by the Academy in 1863 (any establishment resists and needs time to process change). However, the fact that even established artists are refusés today (41:15) gives me pause. Thank you for making these beautiful fragrances possible. 💗
52:38 Amazing that Pierre already saw it in the 70s! 1:12:27 😁 The final frontier. Nailed the importance of Angel as a milestone in ushering in the age of sweet perfumery. And Maurice is correct that the clientele or target consumer has changed over the years as well as the importance of a perfume's introduction. There's also the consideration of the true source(s) of their preferences - are they conditioned or predisposed to choosing one scent over another because of their upbringing or environment? Or is it internally driven? Love the bottle design myself. Functional and ergonomic. The pinnacle of perfection imo. Really appreciate the historical context. I would've loved to have heard more from Anne!
Very interesting and passionnating interview. Something they haven't really touched on, but that shines through is the humility and the ability to take hits. When Pierre Bourdon said that the last daring mainstream fragrance was Angel, that was a huge omission of the existence of La Vie Est Belle... Created by Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo here in the room. But they took the hit remarkably well. Je regrette juste qu'Anne Flipo n'ait pas plus parlé ! Évidemment, elle connaît la maison depuis bien moins longtemps que les autres, mais elle a clairement quelque chose à dire. En particulier, j'aurais été curieux qu'elle parle du nouveau Malle sur lequel elle travaille. Et en tant que représentante de la nouvelle génération de parfumeurs, elle vit aussi une réalité différente aux autres.
It’s not necessarily a hit when you are aware of the context/brand/crowd La Vie Est Belle was made for. Personally, I can’t stand the fragrance, but I don’t blame it on the perfumer - I know what limitations are involved when you create for a brand like Estée Lauder nowadays
Des maîtres parfumeurs et surtout des grands personalités - sensibles et inteligents. Ce qui m'a frappé c'est aussi leur modestie, bravo pour cette table ronde 👏🏽👏🏽
Tout à fait d'accord avec tout ce qui se dites Chapeau messieurs dames . Malheureusement bien se parfumé et devenu un luxe . Les parfums de niche sont cher Malheureusement dans les 200€ minimum les 100ml
He wrote a book with many parfumeurs a very deep book and complex one the name is question en parfumerie. But i don’t think you’ll be able to find it today
yes I noticed that too - mainly in the awkward moments when they were talking on top of each other so I think they tried to smooth it out for English speakers both linguistically and culturally
Très belle émission, ils étaient tous très intéressants. Une question ❓ pourquoi certains parfums ne sont plus commercialisés alors s'ils sont récents et surtout très bons. Merci d'avance.
I am a big fan of mr. Fredrick malle and mr. Dominique ropion.... And I am also working for fragrances in my country... How can I get this book from you 🥰🥰to get inspired
No, he's actually talking about a fragrance project, where the idea was to have the smell of the Nivea cream as a perfume. I don't think it went as planned though ! By the way, I hope you speak French, because the subtitles were rubbish on many occasions... There was one or two time where it said about the opposite to what was actually expressed by the artists here.
@@ambergris5705 If you have the cream, the fragrance is not needed. I think the cream is too present in everyday life, so that wearing the fragrance is nothing special.

💯

Jean Claude Ellena always seem so happy and approachable :D
Maurice Roucel ❤️
Pierre Bourdon seems like a character. I'd love to get drunk with him and get him started on an assortment of topics.
Haha me too.

Pierre Bourdon is a party animal, dude seems like a legend
Merci pour cette fabuleuse interview, un réel enrichissement 🙏
Love Pierre Bourdons Iris Poudre. We need another masterpiece from him!
Une Fleur de Cassie is gorgeous too!
Magnifique conversation ! Merci Pierre Bourdon pour les fous rires

Un pur moment de plaisir... ..merci pour vos magnifiques créations ..je ne me lasse pas de revoir cette vidéo...
I could listen to them all day. Fascinating! Thank you for this

My Favorite are Dominique Ropion and Jean Claude Elena! Bravo !!!! Love portrait of Lady. Thanks Dominique Ropion.
I'm dying to see an interview or read a book where Pierre Bourdon describes the creative process behind making YSL Kouros!
He wrote a book with many parfumeurs a very deep book and complex one the name is question en parfumerie.
But i don’t think you’ll be able to find it today
@@zenttofrizzy8479 thanks! I'll try ;)
I would love more frags from Pierre Bourdon.
Thoroughly enjoyed the insights about the process and the creators behind the fragrances. True artists and big fan!
WONDERFULL!!!! all perfume companies should revolve around this concept. An amazing company!
1:12:27
Bourdon putting it deep and not taking out to Mr. Malle.
Sincerly...CONGRATULATION RESPECTFULL GENTLEMENT...SUPERIOR MASTERS TEAM!
Merci pour ce partage très enrichissant.
Incroyable rencontre ❤
ça fait plus de 10 ans que je n'ai pas racheté French Lover... très belle expérience client 👌
Amazing to actually have perfumers in the spotlight like this!
I don´t speak french, but the subtitles seems to leave a LOT out though?
yes I noticed that too - mainly in the awkward moments when they were talking on top of each other so I think they tried to smooth it out for English speakers both linguistically and culturally
@@danilibo7005 i speak french and they're not leaving out any salient facts, they're just kind of glossing over things.
Love carnal flowers my perfume
Love
Today i have recieved the parfum Lipstic Rose. Beautiful fragrance❤🎶🎵🎵🎵💄
uma conversa espetacular
Everybody I mean everybody knows Musc ravaguar and Portrait of a Lady is the masterpieces of this story.
Très belle émission, ils étaient tous très intéressants. Une question ❓ pourquoi certains parfums ne sont plus commercialisés alors s'ils sont récents et surtout très bons. Merci d'avance.
Big point by Maurice at 57:00
Infiniment merci a tous!!
I am a big fan of mr. Fredrick malle and mr. Dominique ropion....
And I am also working for fragrances in my country... How can I get this book from you 🥰🥰to get inspired
It's funny that Jicky was transcribed as GK in 1:07:09
Who the hell made the subtitles ?!?!?
I agree. They don't know Maurice Ronet, a French film actor who was the star of Ascenceur pour l'Echafaud by Louis Malle, a masterpiece!
AI?
🥰🥰🥰
Isabelle Jiordano c’est une femme élégante qui va parfaitement bien au sujet des parfums.
Excellent débat olfactif 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nivea cream 100 years old birthday was in 2011 ! Whaow ! JCE is more then 100 years old, dinosaur !

@@ambergris5705 The Nivea perfume exists
@@tombarsens1277 I know it does, but I think it was a bit of a flop. I don't know why though.
@@ambergris5705 If you have the cream, the fragrance is not needed. I think the cream is too present in everyday life, so that wearing the fragrance is nothing special.
@@tombarsens1277 Probably, and also, people want their cream to smell like a fragrance, not a fragrance to smell like their cream.
why sell to Estee Lauder and lose your independence?
Money Money as usual
Imagine a bomb going off on the set: the fragrance business is down.
I really enjoyed watching this but just one piece of feedback - so much of this just seems untranslated and I'm not sure why.
