Yesterday I discovered the blog of a very important person in the fragrance business.
Reading the posts I had the sad feeling that me and several other who believe in fragrance as an Art ... we are maybe from another Planet. It's like trying to explain the difference between Joyce & Proust to somebody who read only Femme Actuelle her entire life.
It was a bitter and very sad moment to realize that in the end ... it's just a matter of personal taste. Not Art, not Tradition, not even Marketing.
I will not name that person but I'm horrified by the choice made by one of the houses I loved the most. Maybe it's just a matter of taste... what you read, what you see, what you listen to, how you speak and write... and some people just lack taste and knowledge despite their good intentions.
