The latest U.S. edition of Women’s Wear Daily carries an interview with Jacques Polge, confirming what I read last week about Chanel launching the new No. 19 Poudre (with added iris) and also a new member of their exclusifs called Jersey.
And the internets have the stories now. If you’re a WWD subscriber, you can read the interview here and then tell me all about it. Perfume Smellin’ Things has an excerpt. Scented Salamander has a little further information about the notes and speaks to the question of whether the name (Poudre) indicates the new juice will be more powdery (no one knows, and I may be alone, but fingers crossed it will!).
Thanks to Undina for sending me a link to follow up on this!
As far as I can tell, you were the first to report on it in blogosphere!
I looked around when you posted it first time, I checked Twitter and Facebook – and didn’t find any mentioning. And now, of course, it’s everywhere.
My love for magazines in all forms finally paying off!
Seriously, though, I am glad it is getting coverage. For some reason, I tend to sit up and take more notice when Chanel launches a flanker than when it launches a new fragrance. I’m not sure why. Maybe because I really liked Eau Premiere, and even though I wasn’t into perfume at the time it launched, I smelled it and thought “Oh, so that’s sort of what Chanel No 5 means to people who like it!” I have no idea how Eau Premiere is generally viewed, but for me it was everything a flanker can be.
Anyway. In a more on-topic note, it looks like I will be stopping in London in early June. With any luck I will get to test No 19 Poudre then.
