      La Collection Privee Christian Dior Parfum
                     by Elisabeth de Feydeau 


    The world of La Collection Privee by Christian Dior is explored in a book to be launched by world-renowned book publisher, Assouline this month.

       Elisabeth de Feydeau is a highly respected French historian writer and perfume expert who is the author of La Collection Privee Christian Dior Parfum. It examines in a beautifully 130 illustrated tale of the collection created by Master Perfumer and house perfumer for Dior, Francois Demachy. 

      La Collection Privee Christian Dior Parfums is a rare collection of sixteen scents plus four precious Elixirs composed by Mr. Demachy that offer the finest rare and bold ingredients that  has taken the perfume industry by storm!

     Mr. Demachy pays tribute to tradition in perfumery but lets himself create a unique blend of scents to provide a high-end aspect to the La Collection Privee Collection that compliments the DIOR world of artistry.


GRAND BAL by Chrristian Dior
   I remember my first purchase of Grand Bal  Eau de Parfum (2012) in this collection. The staff at the Christian Dior counter in Neiman-Marcus Chicago were beaming with excitement when I wanted to try and purchase Grand Bal. They couldn't stop talking about how breathtaking the scent is and how Christian Dior's ball gowns were the inspiration for the fragrance. 

 Grand Bal is a jasmine fragrance but not just using a single note. I was transformed into an oasis of jasmine and citrus scents with a hint of sandalwood to keep it mysterious.


Elisabeth de Feydeau
  Elisabeth de Feydeau is a perfume expert and historian writer that will get to the heart of the matter with passion that she has shown in notable books written on fragrance icons.

 Assouline is unique and  a one of a kind publishing company. It takes a lot of dedication for all involved in creating a book  and I noticed that Assouline does it from the beautiful design of the book covers the contents inside the book to the back cover of books. 

 La Collection Privee Christian Dior Parfum will walk you through the journey with a creative essence that you could almost smell through the book.

In my estimation, this book is a masterpiece and I cannot wait to explore it and share my journey with it to the world!

NEW FEATURE


                                                 Bella Bellissima
                              Royal Saffron Parfum
                                         

      

 Bella Bellissima is a fine British perfumery created by Bella Crane that captivates globally with an array of exotic fragrances that are created with the world's finest ingredients.

 This particular fragrance captured me recently because I have been using a wonderful facial product by Forest Essentials founded in India. One of the ingredients used in this facial product is saffron.

  Saffron is the world's most expensive spice and it is virtually used in many spicy and tasty dishes found in India. So, when I discovered Royal Saffron Parfum by Bella Bellissima, I knew I had to try it.

  Royal Saffron is created for women and men and it features delicate, dark and spicy notes that I found quite intriguing. As with the facial product I use by Forest Essentials, I found that the saffron is the most outstanding scent that leaves a nutty and earthy scent to my skin. Royal Saffron leaves the same kind of drydown but it would include a flowery essence with the hint of the dark notes from the patchouli, sandalwood and agarwood, better know as oud.

  The name says it all. I actually felt quite regal and just a dab will last a long time. On me it lasted for six hours. I am in love with Oriental spicy fragrances because it makes me feel bold, secure and unstoppable.
Bella Crane

  Royal Saffron Parfum was launched in 2011 and I think it is one of the best in the collection.

 Royal Saffron Parfum featured notes.

Kashmiri Saffron, Green Notes, Violet Leaf, Clove, 
Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, Carnation, Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Patchouli, Papyrus, Soft Musk, Gurjan Balsam and Leather.

The word "belles lettres" is a French phrase meaning "beautiful or "fine writing. Since this is a term to describe a category of writing, this will pertain to my passion about fragrances. I will review niche,natural, artisan and designer perfumes from all over the world. I write with passion but will use my journalistic skills that I obtained in college. Not only will I feature fragrances but I will feature new books on fragrances/perfumes, fragrance events and interview authors and perfumers.


I hope you take this journey with me and begin your own passion for the ART OF PERFUMERY!
