Hans’ Suggestions…

For Perfume Museum

Burr, Chandler. “The Talk; Color Coded.” New York Times Magazine. 22 October 2006: 40 – 46.

Abstract:

Last month I gave the new Kenzo Amour to a friend of mine, a middle-aged white woman. Amour is an example of rather abstract perfume art, the scent of smelling (metaphorically) a flower on a high-definition television screen, a powdery, electrical, glassy, slightly otherworldly loveliness. One notices a certain power behind its softness, like the gentle sound of a jet in the sky whose distance obscures great force. My friend loved it. A week later, I saw her again. She wore an amused look. ''That perfume is very strange,'' she said. ''A gazillion people complimented me on it.'' Yeah, so? ''So every one of them was black.''Actually, this is not strange at all. Tastes in art, fashion, music, food and books vary between cultures (indeed, that's what creates and defines cultures), and the perfume business has known this for years. Kenzo's Jungle, for example, is spicy and strong and sells well in the heavily black Caribbean. But it is loathed in Japan, where it's anathema to draw attention to yourself: customers would step back from salespeople and motion frantically to avoid getting the scent on them.
