I hosted the reveal of Chandler Burr's Open Sky Untitled Series S01E04. To find out the identity of S01E04 check out the video. This was a fragrance I had never worn before.

The next entry in the Untitled series S01E05 is now available on Open Sky.com.

    !!! What fun! I happen to have Yuzu Rouge samples in the house right now! (Earlier this summer I bought about 80 decants of sundry niche frags at a yard sale–all quite new and unused, all from LuckyScent–for a mere $5.) I tried it and remember it as not working on me, but I’M GOING TO WEAR IT TODAY!

    Fascinating stuff. The bright, sweet-tart opening quickly turns to something like a tired Green Tea fragrance; grapefruit goes quite acrid on me, so it could be that combining with the rose giving that impression. Curious to see what happens over the next hour or so. I don’t remember it having much longevity on my skin.

    I’m going to be spending three days in Paris in December, so I’m starting a list of don’t-miss fragrance destinations…Sad that I have but one nose. And if I manage to come down with a head cold that week, I may have to kill myself.

    I totally disagree with Mr Burr regarding using the same language for fragrance as one would for an architectural structure or fine arts
    You can see a building or a painting. You cannot see a perfume
    In music there are notes and you hear a bass or a vibrato
    Fragrance needs a separate language and is its own Art
    Speaking of language my daughter who is 5 was in the room when Mr Burr used the F word and asked Mommy why did that man on the computer curse at us
    Open sky should do more editing and the sound quality was terrible for Mark Behnke
    That being said I will check out Yuzu rouge because of the Yuzu which is a note I love

    I wouldn’t say yuzu is underused. I think it is so trendy these days that I see it popping up once every three or four releases -quite often for a relatively unknown japanese citrus. It makes an appearance whenever some asian prelude is asked for. Perhaps what mr Burr means it is not often emphasized as it is in this case.

    I agree with Scent Trail about the critical language of different arts. They are completely different. One would not discuss architecture in the terms of music or music in the terms of painting or painting in the terms of dance. How in the world could all (or any!) of those apply to perfume?

    I also disagree with the derogatory dismissal of “notes”. In reality, notes are metaphors. Talking about them is already to abstract from the reality of the perfume and what the perfumer did to create it. This is all the more true in contemporary times, with many different synthetics being used in lieu of natural materials. The notes are metaphors, not realities.

    btw, the picture depicts a tomato, a lighter and a yuzu? Is there tomato leaf and flint in this? I’d hate it if there was lighter fluid or scent of sweaty plastic :O
