The Perfumer & Flavorist Magazine is one of the leading trade publications for the fragrance and flavor industry. It starts 2007 with the publication of its free newsletter P&Fnow, which is circulated twice a month via email. It will highlight the news, feature interviews with perfumers, flavorist and industry professionals as well as offer new product reviews and reports on the latest developments in the industry. You can sign up for it here.
The January issue of the magazine is already available. It is an issue devoted to trends and forecasting, and it features a few interesting articles. One of them is Fragrance outlook: Noir to Niche (page 22). It features interviews with perfumers Pierre-Constantin Gueros and Agnes Mazin, who discuss the latest developments in perfumery and especially in niche. The chemist in me also enjoyed Perfumer’s notes: Javanol, which focuses on Givaudan’s sandalwood aroma-material (page 32). My article Scent outlook: The 7 Best Things About Fine Fragrance Now appears on page 24. You can see the overview of the articles on the Perfumer & Flavorist January issue page.

Cait: I just read your article. A blogger such as yourself can have a huge impact because with your large readership you are so much more connected to trends than most authors in Perfumer & Flavorist. I really nodded my head in agreement when you identified the devotion of perfume lovers to a particular nose to deepen “the emotional connection that a consumer builds with a product.” Also, you can make your own wishes come true, like heralding the “return of chypre.” I noted that you mentioned some perfumes that I haven’t seen you review — like Clinique Happy Heart and Tommy Hilfiger’s Star. Can we expect reviews of fragrances of this ilk on this site? Congratulations on taking the industry by storm! January 12, 2007 at 1:02pm
k-amber: After reading your article, I give applause “Return of Chypre.” Bravo!

Peter: Congratulations! I am looking forward to reading the article. January 15, 2007 at 3:41pm
BoisdeJasmin: Cait, thank you very much! I am so glad that you’ve enjoyed the article. Clinique Happy Heart and Tommy Hilfiger’s Star are the examples of fragrances that use very interesting flavour notes in their compositions, and perhaps, it is worth writing about them.

BoisdeJasmin: Peter, thank you! I hope that you will enjoy it. January 15, 2007 at 4:40pm
