When it comes to the master of arts and that includes not only the art of perfumery but vast knowledge in fine arts, then you would need to speak with Dawn Spencer Hurwitz.
Ms. Hurwitz is a master perfumer, fragrance consultant, artist and owner and founder of Parfums de BEAUX ARTS/DSH in Boulder, Colorado.
I have written about Ms. Hurwitz before and her knowledge of art that has been put into wonderful historical fragrances much like Francois Rance' is her expertise. She is the Michelangelo of finer touches when you need a fragrance for a special occasion such as her wedding collection or if you want a traditional rose scent or a simple but elegant twist to that traditional rose scent, Ms. Hurwitz can do it all!
Her educational background in fine arts and the opportunity she receive working as an apprentice at the perfume shop after graduating from school was a golden opportunity and it led to her destiny in life.
There are three glowing fragrances created by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz that will be featured. Two are of chocolate gourmand and the third fragrance reminded me of what Francois Rance' would have created if he were alive today.
Bois du Chocolat Eau de Parfum
Top Notes
Sandalwood
Middle Notes
Dark Chocolate, Vanilla
Base Notes
Musk and Patchouli
Bois du Chocolat is a rich wood and chocolat scent that is so soft and light. The whisper of chocolat acknowledges that it is there and there the puff of vanilla and sandalwood come around in a discreet manner.
St. Valentine Eau de Parfum
Top Notes
Bergamot, Nutmeg and Parma Violet
Middle Notes
Bulgarian rose absolute, Centifolia rose absolute, raspberry and tea rose
Base Notes
Amber, Bourbon Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, French Vanilla and Vanilla Absolute
This is the ideal, Valentine's Day scent if you are stuck in tradition. It is beautifully warm and powerful but not overbearing. You are simply showered with roses and drips of lasting vanilla shimmer down to a warm tone like a warm kiss in the night.
Lumiere Eau de Parfum
Top Notes
Bergamot, Cardamom Absolute, Cinnamon Leaf, Coriander Seed and Nutmeg
Middle Notes
Almond milk, Hazelnut, Rum and Sweet Cream
Base Notes
Amber, Australian Sandalwood, Coffee Absolute, Opoponax and Peru Balsam
I choose the House of Rance' as the feature for this special Valentine's Day issue. I choose the master pastry chef, Payard and Vosges Haut-Chocolat for their extreem dedication and beautiful details to making sweets glide to the tune of harps and I chose the master perfumers, Soliani, Duchafour and Spencer-Hurwitz for enduring and being passionate about the art of study and creating after creating until perfection is all theirs.
