Parfumerie Generale Papyrus de Ciane (2010) {New Perfume}
Parfumerie Générale will launch a new perfume called Papyrus de Ciane in February 2010. The scent is said to be a woodsy green fragrance.
Perfume history buffs will appreciate the finer points of the composition as it is said to be based on " a contemporary interpretation of Mousse de Saxe (Saxe Moss)" a famous perfumery base created by fragrance company De Laire that was used most notably by the house of Caron, for example in Nuit de Noël and is a reference for perfumers. Isabelle Doyen confessed once that she would have loved to create it and considers it a little jewel.
