All very interesting news. I'm particularly excited about Chypre Rouge, though I doubt anything could improve upon the Lutens chypre rouge I'm wearing today: Rose de Nuit. :)
Do not despair and have faith in the superlative creative powers of the inconmmensurable Serge!
I thought this piece of news might give some ideas to some ladies I know for organizing a let's-lay-our-hands-on-an-early-bottle-of-Chypre-Rouge-plan:)
It will be particularly interesting and historical an event too, as this will be his first firts fragrance to come out after the end of his collaboration with Chris Sheldrake.
Hee, "Bourgeois." Look at you Givenchy, with the sense of humor! Whodda thunk it? And it's so fitting, given LVMH's history of middle-classifying their "luxury" range. I have this thing about the Givenchy house for some reason, so I'm quite looking forward to that one.
Yes, you're right, this name ought to be seen as revealing Givenchy's sense of humor otherwise it would be a terribly boring and stifling name. It would make me feel like I've eaten a heavy pudding each time that I look at the name on the bottle.
