Thoughts On Frederic Malle Leaving His Own Brand -- And Reviews Of Some Of His Classic Scents

Frederic Malle has announced he's leaving his own brand -- some thoughts from me, followed by reviews of a few his classic releases

— The speculators I alluded to above are theorising about all manner of likely (and less likely) reasons and scenarios. Take your pick from whichever of the following you fancy: i) thwarted creative freedom, ii) clashing and disagreeing with the marketing strategies employed by a multi-national monolith, iii) not wanting to put up any longer with his perfumes being cheapened, iv) the end of the…

I love this interview excerpt with Bourdon, who made Bois d’Orage, which I also love.

Attempts on Robespierre’s life compilation

Henri Admirat: wanted to shoot Robespierre at the Committee of Public Safety, tried to shoot Collot d’Herbois in his stairwell.

Cécile Renault: wanted to stab Robespierre with an iron dagger that she didn’t know was in her pocket. 

Legendre: was encouraged by an anonymous letter to take two pistols and shoot Saint-Just and Robespierre in the middle of the Convention

Lecointre, Fréron, Barras, Rovère, Thirion, Courtois, Garnier de l'Aube, Guffroy and Tallien: planned to team up and stab Robespierre to death in the middle of the Convention.

Bourdon d’Oise: planned to on his own stab Robespierre to death with a cutlass according to Pierre Nicolas Berryer.

Fouché: wanted to kidnap Robespierre from the jacobins and drown him in the Seine according to Paul Ségur.

Collot d’Herbois: attempted to throw Robespierre through the window of the Committee of Public Safety according to Barras.

Unknown assassin 1: tried to kill Robespierre on the eve of the Insurrection of August 10 according to Lucile Desmoulins.

Unknown assassin 2: tried to choke Robespierre to death when alone with him at the Duplays according to Charlotte Robespierre.

Charlotte Robespierre: attempted to poison Robespierre with jam according to Françoise Duplay.

If reddit had existed in the 18th century I bet these guys would be active in threads like this:

OK but seriously, which one of these assassination attemps actually come off as least unserious/most probable to actually working?

[kristina100000]

dear kristina, its minimum wage tgirly fragrence anon...I'm still on my fragrence journey, i was wondering, are there any scents u luv that are really like rainy and aquatic, but with a sharp spice or citrus underneath...i wanna remind people of a rainy day with no work and nowhere to really go <3

hi darling <3 i love acqua di gio (this one is harder to find now that they have acqua di gioia) & light blue, i love cool water - this one is a masc marine smell but also soapier than the other two, i love how it feels on my skin. i love pierre bourdon's work, he worked with olivier creed on erolfa & GIT as well

erolfa is on the more expensive side, i had a sample and i really liked the vibrant citrus at the top. kind of like eating a fruit salad and getting a sudden splash of seawater in your face

Duty Free Quick Takes

smelled on the strip, not on me

Hermes Jour d'Hermes

Nose: Jean-Claude Ellena

notes: grapefruit, lemon, water; white flowers, gardenia, sweet pea; musk, woody notes

a rather unfriendly fancy-hotel-soap scent in a chilly aquatic-fruity style; nice enough but doesn't spark joy.

CK One

Nose: Alberto Morillas

notes: lemon, green notes, bergamot, pineapple, mandarin, cardamom, papaya; lily of the valley, jasmine, violet, nutmeg, rose, iris, freesia; green accord, musk, cedar, sandalwood, oakmoss, green tea, amber

Surprisingly musky! A nice contrast between unisex citrusy-green freshness and something a bit dustier or sweatier.

CK IN2U For Her

Notes: pink grapefruit, bergamot, currant leaf; cactus, orchid; vanilla, cedar, amber

Painfully screechy chemicals and cloying sweetness and unpleasant "choking" musks? Wow.

CK Be

Nose: Rene Morgenthaler

Notes: lavender, green notes, bergamot, mint, juniper, mandarin orange; grass, peach, jasmine, freesia, magnolia, orchid; musk, sandalwood, cedar, vanilla, amber, opoponax

A very simple but peaceful "clean green" synthetic scent, like a single gong ringing out into a quiet evening.

YSL Paris

Nose: Sophia Grojsman

notes: rose, mimosa, hyacinth, geranium, green notes, nasturtium, orange blossom, hawthorn, cassia, bergamot; violet, lily, linden, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, iris; musk, heliotrope, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber, cedar

A delicate, baby-blue, powdery violet with other soapy florals. Not nearly as loud or sweet as I expected from descriptions; more of a clean ladylike scent.

Davidoff Cool Water

Nose: Pierre Bourdon

notes: sea water, lavender, mint, green notes, rosemary, calone, coriander; sandalwood, neroli, geranium, jasmine; musk, oakmoss, tobacco, cedar, amber

This is the OG aquatic scent and it's still startling how happy a smell it is and how it does right what countless imitators get wrong. Crisp, masculine, with a bit of tart fruit, it basically smells like the world's cleanest, most invigorating shower.

Armani Stronger With You

Nose: Cecile Matton

notes: cardamom, pink pepper, violet leaf, mint; pineapple, cinnamon, melon, sage, lavender; vanilla, chestnut, amberwood, cedar, guaiac

Interesting sweet-dark chestnut note, drowned out by an obnoxiously loud woody-amber.

Lancome Poeme

Nose: Jacques Cavallier

notes: narcissus, datura, peach, plum, poppy, mandarin, blackcurrant, bergamot, green notes; mimosa, vanilla, tuberose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia, heliotrope, rose, leather; amber, tonka bean, musk, cedar

This is a real, full-bodied perfume; a big ol' heady aldehydic floral, lots of sweetness, lots of fluffiness, tuberose and mimosa are definitely involved. Your mom is wearing her good jewelry and going to the opera. Can one...actually, y'know, wear it? in 2023? Probably not, or at least not without irony, but it at least has artistry.

Du bois en poudre

10 heures 45

Une odeur de bois haché est arrivée au 7e étage. Il suffit de si peu pour arriver au 36e dessous.

Il me reste en mémoire des vieilles pierres, des ouvertures dans le mur en guise fenêtres, des toiles d'araignées grises et cotonneuses, des vitres noircies par le temps et fêlées, mais bien plus fraîchement et très sûrement ancrées : des odeurs.

C'est d'abord l'odeur du sol de pierre humide, puis des lubrifiants pour divers matériaux, quelqu'autres produits détergeants, de temps en temps l'urine d'un animal qui se serait infiltré dans l'atelier, du bois humide, les matériaux qui chauffent quand on les polit ou les scie, et surtout, le bois qui vient d'être poncé.

Dans mon souvenir, j'y passais des heures. Je regardais vos gestes précis et habiles, vos quelques hésitations, vos dessins et vos notes, vos tâtonnements. Les machines à bois faisaient un bruit assourdissant. Les lourds outils anciens aussi, quand ils tombaient au sol - ce qui n'arrivait jamais, il ne fallait pas risquer de les déformer. Je crois me souvenir (ou cela me fait plaisir de me le suggérer) d'un gros poste de radio. Nous étions dans les années 90, vous écoutiez du jazz en sifflant avec une indubitable maîtrise dont on se demande l'origine. Vous avez toujours écouté du jazz (c'est difficilement supportable).

Avant mon entrée dans l'atelier, je vous entends siffler lorsque je longe les tas de tuiles inutilisées perdus sur le terrains. J'aimais l'odeur de la terre cuite qui chauffait des heures au soleil du printemps. J'entendais vos sifflements et j'avais peur, je me guidais quand même jusqu'à l'atelier parce que je savais que j'allais être fascinée. ... Que j'allais subir la fascination. La précision donnait parfois une sensation de mise en scène chorégraphiée. Peut-être valait-il de se donner ainsi en spectacle pour faire subir cette fascination. J'avais 7, 8, 9 parfois 10 ans, et j'attendais le spectacle, et dans le spectacle, des réponses. Je n'en aurais jamais.

J'ai parfois pris part au spectacle. Cela a donc fait de moi une actrice, auprès de l'acteur.

L'odeur du bois réduit en poudre montait tout à coup dans l'atelier après quelques manipulations, et c'était le point de départ d'une arrivée massive d'enthousiasme. Le bois était beau ; je me retrouvais très vite absorbée par le ballet du bois coupé, la vue des veines, en suivre le chemin, et le voir passer dans cette grosse machine à poncer, à couper. Hypnotisant. C'était doux et tranchant. Cela sentait très bon, la vie du bois et le travail bien fait. La sciure était douce et poussiéreuse, elle voletait dans l'air, et ne semblait pas redescendre.

J'ai coupé, limé, on a sifflé, poncé, cloué, et sur tout, vous m'avez guidée. Très pédagogue, mais pas disponible. Là mais pas là ? Je ne sais plus s'il s'agit d'impatience, d'agacement, de désintérêt, de brutalité...

Après quelques activités avec vous, je me revois repartir seule, avec la mélancolie clouée au corps. Je ne refermais pas la porte sur mes pas, je marchais dans la boue fraîche, j'entendais crisser l'herbe grasse sous mes tennis. Un tas de sable se trouvait là, presque aussi haut que moi, les fourmis courraient dessus, bien alignées.

Je ne sais pas ce qui a mal tourné.

Je ne reprenais pas le chemin aller, le retour demandait plus d'habileté : éviter les fleurs, jeter un œil aux légumes que l'on n'avait pas plantés, surveiller les grosses pierres enfouies dans l'herbe épaisse, éviter des merdes, croquer des groseilles, observer des bourdons, se souvenir que j'avais semé des graines de carottes 3 ans auparavant dans le coin là-bas, ... terminer ce parcours et se dire que tout est toujours comme d'habitude. Le désespoir.

La sciure est chiure.

Déclin des insectes : la pollinisation a le bourdon

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

Les plantes à fleurs se reposent sur les pollinisateurs depuis l’ère des dinosaures pour effectuer leur reproduction sexuée. Pourtant, elles tendent maintenant à augmenter leur taux d’autofécondation pour faire face au déclin de ces derniers. Quelles sont les conséquences de cette adaptation ?

  C’est le système reproductif le plus sophistiqué et le plus performant du monde végétal : la pollinisation. Les insectes profitent des plantes pour se nourrir, les plantes profitent des insectes pour se reproduire. Mais cet équilibre ancestral est menacé. En moins de 30 ans, les populations d’insectes ont probablement chuté de près de 80 % en Europe. Pour faire face à ce déclin massif et plus rapide qu’aucune autre extinction terrestre : certaines plantes s’autofécondent.

Gadin 8 Liste de souhaits de Gézhillmlacotrage

En mon assolullité blattienne de connaissance du chat qui ment deux fois par jour, je présente cette supique au Tibrun de la plègue :

Cher Monsieur Tibrun,

Je m’appelle Gézhillmlacotrage pis j’ai deux ans. Ch’t’un enfant très gentil pis j’ai été super sage toute l’année. Papa y’a dit que ça servait à rien que je t’écrive parce qu’on est yinque des coquerelles pis le tibrun c’est pour la plègue, faque j’ai demandé à maman pis maman, elle, al’a dit que c’tait corrèque, mais là papa y’a dit que maman a faisait du fauzespoir. Ché pas c’est quoi du fauzespoir, mais là le monsieur bourdon avec les boucles d’antenne y’est passé pis papa y’est parti. Papa y va sauver la lempire des méchantes couleuvres pour qu’on devienne la plègue, faque là maman a dit que je peux t’écrire.

J’ai compris que tu zexauces des souhaits. Je voulais te demander pour des craies de toutes les couleurs, comme Miangeustraoutch al’a. C’est son mononque qui y en a rapporté du pays des perruches pis Miangeustraoutch al’a dessiné plein d’oiseaux couleurés su’l mur de pierres entre nos champs. J’aimerais ça moi aussi avoir des craies, même si chu pas tant bon en dessin. Je pourrais quand même dessiner des nœuds porte-bonheurs s’es portes du village pour empêcher les poilus de rentrer chez mes amis. Chu bon pour dessiner les nœuds.

La semaine passé, Miangeustraoutch al’a délégagé. Son papa y’a dit que ça devenait trop dangereux. C’t’à cause des gros poilus. Y’a-tu ça chez toi, Tibrun, des gros poilus? J’espère que non; sont pas gentils les gros poilus. Y font peur parce qu’y portent des narmures pis des braoules cloutées pis y descendent jamais de leurs gros bisons barbus, sauf quand qu’y rentrent chez le monde le midi quand toute la famille fait dodo pour leur faire des chatouilles. Mais c’est tellement des grosses chatouilles que les enfants pis les papas pis les mamans y rient trop fort pis leurs mandibules décrochent pis leur âme leur glisse par la bouche pour s’envoler dins étoiles rejoindre le vieux Crichnouque. Maman a dit que ça fait pas mal pis c’est juste très drôle, mais moi j’ai pas envie de rire autant que ça. Je veux juste retourner à’ maison, pis je veux que Miangestraoutch a revienne pour qu’on fasse des dessins ensemble.

Moi, j’ai pas vraiment besoin de mes propres craies. Je peux partager avec les amis. Mais pour ça y faut des amis. Monsieur Tibrun, tu pourrais-tu ramener les frères Mlesplégionstre, pis aussi Gnamiognel qui habitait au bout du rang, lui qui sent la soupe? Je pense qu’y’ont assez ri. Tu peux aussi ramener mes grandes sœurs. J’ai changé d’idée, ça me dérange pus qu’y jousent avec ma doudou.

Maintenant maman pis moi on habite chez le meunier Haleuspiatatal parce les gros poilus sont venus faire des chatouilles au village. A m’a réveillé pis on est partis par les tunnels pour éviter le gros soleil. On entendait leur narmure, pis je pense que j’ai entendu mes sœurs rire. J’tais content qu’y se fassent chatouiller, parce qu’y m’avaient volé ma doudou, mais là je m’ennuie plus de mes sœurs que de ma doudou.

Le meunier y crie fort pis y me laisse pas jouer dans le moulin avec lui pis maman. Y dit que c’est pour les grands seulement, le moulin, pis y m’embarre dans le pouloulailler. Au début j’aimais ça courir après les pouloulets, mais là j’aime pus ça pis je veux dormir avec ma maman.

Maman a dit que ça sera pus très long, que bientôt le meunier y va partir pis qu’y va nous laisser son moulin. A dit aussi que les poilus vont finir par aller hiberber pis qu’on va pouvoir retourner à’ maison. Moi je trouve ça long. Je veux rentrer tussuite! Pis je veux revoir les amis, pis papa, pis je veux que les gros poilus retournent chez eux pis qu’y’emmènent le meunier avec eux. J’ai décidé que c’est ça mon souhait. Tu peux me le zexaucer, Tibrun, parce que j’ai été super sage. Laisse faire les craies, tu peux les donner à un enfant qui est meilleur que moi en dessin.

Merci Monsieur Tibrun! Je t’aime.

Bonne journée, donne des bisous à tes sénaneurs,

Gézhillmlacotrage

[anotherhumaninthisworld]

Is there a list of frev figures who claimed to be at the storming of the Bastille? The people I know who said they at least witnessed it is pretty eclectic like Herault, Léon and Saint-Just.

I found all the (official?) ”vainqueurs de la Bastille” listed in alfabethical order here (1889). However, according to Michael J. Sydenham’s Léonard Bourdon: The Career of a Revolutionary, 1754-1807, who’s subject of study claimed to belong to this group, simply holding this title was not a guarantee that you had actually taken part in the storming itself:

The only people found on the list that I myself recognized were those of the dantonist Louis Legendre, the girondin Claude Fauchet and the general Antoine Joseph Santerre. I therefore don’t know if the people claiming to have participated in the storming here below are just lying (saying you played a role in it after all being something that would easily better your patriotic reputation) or if their participation just wasn’t recorded (which doesn’t sound particulary hard to be true either):

Stanislas Fréron claims in a letter to Lucile Desmoulins dated October 18 1793, that both he, Barras and La Poype ”besieged” the Bastille.

Pierre Nicolas Berryer wrote in his memoirs that the Convention deputy Bourdon d’Oise participated in the storming of the Bastille, and still kept the blood stained coat he had worn during it five years later:

At the same time, and as if he felt the need to convince me even more of the strength of his mind, [Bourdon] took out from under his bed an oblong casket, in which was tucked the coat he had worn on the day of the storming of the Bastille… […] He took great care to point out to me that his coat was still covered with stains from the blood he had spilled at the Bastille. 

Albert Mathiez summarized in the article La vie de Héron racontée par lui-même (1925) a memoir the Committee of General Security spy François Héron wrote while imprisoned after thermidor. In it, he would have claimed to have participated in the storming of the Bastille, as well as the women’s march on Versailles, the demonstration of June 20 and the Insurrection of August 10.

According to Dictionnaire des parlementaires français (…) de 1789 à 1889, Jacques-Alexis Thuriot took part in the storming.

Regarding some more well known guys and their Bastille activities, Desmoulins, in a letter written to his father written July 16, leaves a rather detailed description of the storming. Through the following part, he does however indicate that he himself missed it:

Then, the cannon of the French Guards made a breach. Bourgeois, soldiers, everyone rushes forward. An engraver climbs up first, they throw him down and break his legs. A luckier French guard followed him, seized a gunner, defended himself, and the place was stormed in half an hour. I started running at the first cannon shot, but the Bastille was already taken, in two and a half hours, a miracle that is.

Camille also adds that, on July 15, he was among the people who scaled the ruins of the stormed Bastille:

However, I felt even more joy the day before, when I climbed into the breach (montai sur la brèche) of the surrendered Bastille, and the flag of the Guards and the bourgeois militias was raised there. The most zealous patriots were there. We embraced each other, we kissed the hands of the French guards, crying with joy and intoxication.

On July 23 1789, Robespierre wrote a letter to Antoine Buissart telling him he had gotten to see the ”liberated” Bastille, but he had of course not participated in the storming himself:

I’ve seen the Bastille, I was taken there by a detachment of the brave bourgeois militia that had taken it; because after leaving town hall, on the day of the king's trip, the armed citizens took pleasure in escorting out of honor the deputies they met, and they could only march among acclamations from the people. What a delightful abode the Bastille has been since it came into the power of the people, its dungeons are empty and a multitude of workers work tirelessly to demolish this odious monument to tyranny! I could not tear myself away from this place, the sight of which only gives sensations of pleasure and ideas of liberty to all good citizens.

According to Danton: le mythe et l’histoire (2016), Danton did not take part in the actual storming of the Bastille, however, the following day he went to the abandoned prison and took the provisional governor hostage:

Absent from the storming of the Bastille, it was on the night of July 15 to 16 that Danton took action. At the head of a patrol of the bourgeois guard of his district, of which he proclaimed himself captain, he claimed, we do not know in what capacity, to enter the "castle of the Bastille,” placed under the control of the elector Soulès, as provisional governor. Without worrying about his powers, Danton has him kidnapped and taken to City Hall, surrounded by a threatening crowd. But Soulès was released the next day upon the intervention of La Fayette; Danton's initiative was openly disavowed and blamed by the assembly of electors.

According to Clifford D. Connor, Marat wrote the following about his activities on July 14 1789 in number 36 of l’Ami du peuple (12 November 1789):
