le laboratoire at les Deux Abeilles with the ‘nose’ ,Celine, and Celso Fadelli

Dear Shaded Viewers,

After one year and about 73 – 100 trials, I am finally in love with the first of four fragrances that we will do our best to launch this Spring. at UNSCENT.  I had the most wonderful exchange with 'the nose' and we are working on the next 3 fragrances which I know are going to please me as much as the first one. Fact is, I am definitely not easy to please but when I am…it is a love story.

I'll keep you posted. Now we work on the packaging as well, but I cannot wait for it to be in your hands as well as mine. Thank you to Celso Fadelli for his immense patience and Cristiano Seganfreddo for the introduction and I'm sure the beautiful packaging…tbc. AND of course, Celine Ripert, 'the nose'. It was a beautiful exchange and cannot wait for the next trial… My 'Man in Town', Federico Poletti, ASVOFF Italy…who made the initial introduction to Cristiano is busy at work now on ASVOFF Rome in collaboration with Bulgari. Soon I'll post the details for the open call for Rome…

Later,

Diane
