02 May 2011 Posted by Valerie Vitale in Snapshots

The term ‘minimalism’ is a trend from early 19th century and gradually became an important movement in response to the over decorated design of the previous period. Minimalist architecture became popular in the late 1980s in London and New York.

Wearing L’Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier

20 Apr 2011 Posted by Valerie Vitale in Perfume Reviews A-L

Upon smelling heliotrope, I immediately see a color, the palest violet and a pastry, a meringue sitting politely on a plate, so light. Yet, as I continue, the meringue turns into marzipan, an almond paste mixed with vanilla, lending a phenolic note-heavy and sweet. Bursting…

01 Apr 2011 Posted by Valerie Vitale in Perfume Events and Interviews

My fascination with perfume has been with me all my life, ever since I can remember. I love being able to smell a note and notice the other notes that are inside of it, it’s like breaking an egg, or uncovering nesting dolls one after…
