| 1953 - a limited edition fragrance by Pell Wall Perfumes |
I'm calling it '1953' - after the year of the coronation - that's because among many special things involved in the ascension to the throne of a British monarch perhaps the most special is the anointing - according to Wikipedia British Monarchs are the only ones still anointed as part of the ceremony and it is done with a specially made Coronation Oil - the ingredients for which have been similar since the 12th Century and include ambergris, civet, rose, jasmine, orange flower, cinnamon, musk and benzoin.
1953 by Pell Wall Perfumes includes all those fine ingredients (though for ethical reasons I'm using synthetic substitutes for civet and musk) in the very best qualities to be found. I've then adapted them into a very long-lasting, easy to wear and highly concentrated Parfum for the 21st Century, presented in a diamond-clear heart-shaped flask, complete with it's own crystal stand.

Just twelve of these magnificent gifts will be made for sale on the day of release, with further small releases planned including Christmas 2012, the anniversary of the coronation itself on 2nd June 2013 and finally for Christmas 2013 - after that 1953 will be available only to special order.
I am not a perfumer and have only sketchy knowledge of the art but I have been buying & wearing perfume since the early 50s, from the days of Coty's L'Aimant and Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps. to my mind 1953 bears comparison with classics like Coco Chanel and more modern fragrances such as Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily. Given the oxygen of publicity so that others can try this truly innovative fragrance, I believe it could become an enduring perfume of the 21st Century.
ReplyDeleteNow that 1953 is available in Edt and Pour Homme, there is no excuse for not trying this lovely new fragrance. And what a magnificent gift it would make for a bride or bridegroom this special summer. You don't need to be a 'celebrity' to try this unique fragrance but who knows, you could become one if you do!
