My dears, I start fulfilling the recklessly made promises ) The first in the list is Roja Dove that I’ve met in Cannes and have already told about it here. He is a person that is unique in all respects. There is no perfumer equal to him. A perfume historian that are really rare too. He is a wealth of knowledge, filled top to bottom, and not just knowledge – irony, cynicism, snobbery, common sense and life experience. A dude that likes rocker wristbands and black shirts.
He is openly gay in the sense that it’s not just he does not hide, but he quite even advertises that. The man who has opened the perfume boutique on the 5th floor of Harrods’ and has created the range of it in a really unaccustomed way – by persuading the great perfume brands not to remove the economically disadvantageous masterpieces from their production but to produce them in small amounts to be sold in this boutique, where there are no regular showcases and everything is hidden in black boxes. Those who know, they’ll find what they need.
Ether misanthrope or philantropist, ether romanticist or cynic, but more likely – all in one. Подробнее

Since 15 of December at TSUM department store the exclusive sales of perfume started – perfume that nearly no magazine had “for testing” because the quantity of the flacons was strictly limited (1 000 flacons in a whole world) and didn’t include press-freebe. I was lucky to get some drops of this strong, stretchy, slim fragrance created around the scent of a flower, the smell of which I can not remember – iris.
If yesterday I was asked about the smell of iris itself I would really have nothing to say. But if I’ll be asked tomorrow as an excellent student I’ll report that it smells like La femme Bleue from the “high line” fragrances collection by signor Armani – Armani Privé. And I’ll definitely get an excellent mark. It’s like sometimes you think about life and come to the idea that it’s “like a good movie” and forget what’s initial and what’s not. Подробнее

As we wrote before, Ellis Faas brand had finally appeared on the Russian market – it was launched in TSUM and Tsvetnoy Central Market in Moscow on December 6, 2011. Ellis came to Moscow for the launch of the brand – this is when we had a chance to talk to her (the inteview was published at elle.ru).
- Ellis, everybody must be asking you one and the same question, but still – why are all your products of fluid texture?
- Well, they ask even more often why they are all packed in pen-like bullets!
- This was exactly my second question!
- I simply wanted to create something universal. Same size. Same shape. This was the plan – to create something compact and beautiful, with which you can make your own set. I wanted to get away from the traditional square-shaped packaging of powder, shadows, anything that can be broken. As for the texture, I think that solid powder textures can not completely blend into the skin, they kind of lie on it. This is why all products come in same sized “bullets” and they all are fluids – luquid texture is better for skin.

We know that many of you were dying to get Jo Malone tea collection at our year results.
Dear friends, you don’t need to be dying no more because in March (right before the 8th of March) we’re going to have a new limited collection called London Blooms.
“Gardening is a form of a self-expressing. Especially in England” – a press-release informs us. And we can guess that London Blooms are going to be about English flowers.
I want to tell those who haven’t read about this collection in the western sources that there are three new perfume compositions and the bottles are decorated with flower patterns.

In comments to interview with Ellis Faas elia-chaba said, that all lipsticks of the brand has something brown in shades. I wanted to show the ones that I have (and also hav a closer look at them myself – maybe I don’t see that brown?).
I have 3 Ellis Faas lipsticks: two reds Yana presented to me and the one more I’ve got after the interview. They are: Creamy Lips L101, Milky Lips L201 and Glazed Lips L306 (which is actually more a lipgloss than a lipstick, but I consider all this very relative).
And please don’t judge the quality of photos, I’m training to shoot with the light and it;s hard.
So here they are:
Left to right: Creamy Lips L101, Glazed Lips L306, Milky Lips L201
From up to down: Creamy Lips L101, Glazed Lips L306, Milky Lips L201 Подробнее
Mona di Orio, the perfumer, died on 9th December. Tomorrow she’ll be buried at Zorgvlied cemetery in Amsterdam, ander the Japaneese cherry thee, the ceremony will start at 11 a.m. there is a lot of white flowers that she used to love – white tulips, white orchids, white lilies. We’re pleased with the fact there’ll be some tulips from beauty insider too. We gave some money for that to Alexey Dubinskiy, the owner of “Aroma-tech” shop who has left to Amsterdam.
And I’m still sad.
So, this is the reason why I’m writing this now. To say “thank you” and to hope that it’ll be easier or at least brighter. To tell the truth, all these farewell “thank you” are not for the ones that are gone. They are for those who remain. Подробнее

Gold lipstick from Dior Christmas 2011 surprised me on promophotos. I even spent some time thinking who could have wanted this shade – it will probably be too light on lips.
Then I had a thought that it should be more like a lip balm with golden shimmer.
And it went out this way.
