One of the biggest matters in the perfume industry in the last decade was the question of creativity. How many times did you smell a perfume and had it remind you on so many others you've tried before? Yes, it happened to all of us, because these days most of commercial perfumes are very similar and uninspiring. The only thing that matters is how well they sell, while the creativity and originality come second.

Still, niche perfumeries are doing something completely different and creating scents that are unique and extraordinary. One of the big names in niche industry, Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle ,arrived at Metropoliten perfumery a month ago, 20 perfumes to be exact. This niche perfume house was founded by Freferic Malle in 2000., with a wish to bring back the old fame perfumers used to have.

Instead of celebrities or pompous perfume names, the accent is on the perfumers. Every perfume features the name of the perfumer who composed it on the bottle. This way you can not only enjoy the scent, but also get to know the perfumers and their signature styles.

Perfume I like the most is Lipstick Rose, created by Ralf Schwieger (no wonder, it's a known fact I'm a sucker for sweet scents). Schwieger found the inspiration for this scent in the smell of his mother's lipstick. It's a take on old Hollywood glamour, a rose and violet-flavoured candy scent. Main notes in this perfume are violet, rose, musk and vanilla, with a hint of amber, vetiver and grapefruit.



Jedan od najvećih problema u parfemskoj industriji tokom prethodne decenije bilo je pitanje kreativnosti. Koliko vam se puta desilo da pomirišete neki parfem i da vas on podseti na toliko drugih koje ste već probali? Svi smo to doživeli zato što je danas većina komercijalnih parfema jako slična i neinspirativna. Najvažnije je da li se dobro prodaju, dok su kreativnost i originalnost na drugom mestu.

Ipak, niche pafremske kuće rade nešto potpuno drugačije i stvaraju mirise koji su jedinstveni i neobični. Jedno od velikih imena u niche industriji, Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle , stiglo je u Metropoliten parfimeriju pre mesec dana. Tačnije, njihovih 20 parfema. Ovu niche parfemsku kuću osnovao je 2000. godine Frederic Malle, sa željom da vrati parfimerima staru slavu koju su nekada imali.

Umesto na ''poznatim ličnostima'' ili pompeznim nazivima mirisa, akcenat je na parfimerima. Na bočici svakog parfema nalazi se i ime parfimera koji ga je osmislio. Na ovaj način možete ne samo da uživate u mirisu, već i da saznate više o parfimerima i njihovim osobenim stilovima.

Parfem koji se meni najviše dopao je Lipstic Rose, koga je kreirao Ralf Schwieger (ovo nije iznenadjujuće, s obzirom na to da se zna da obožavam slatke mirise).  Schwieger je pronašao inspiraciju za ovaj parfem u mirisu karmina njegove majke. On je reminiscencija na glamur starog Holivuda, miris ruže i slatkiša od ljubičice. Glavne note u parfemu su ljubičica, ruža, mošus i vanila, sa daškom ćilibara, vetivera i grejpfruta.
