My Vietnamese perfume of Joy-post 3

2012-01-18T14:19:00.000+07:00

Yesterday morning,just after I finished my post 2, my landlord brought me a kumquat tree.
This is thetradition here in Vietnam to offer kumquat or peach trees to wish a prosperous newlunar Year.

Hanoi is in the mood for celebrations.

my landlord with the kumquat and osmanthus

The festive season starts atthe end of this week. Everybody is rushing to prepare. Hundreds of motorbikestransporting kumquat, orange, pomelo trees to celebrate Tet 2012 : new year of thewater dragon.

Everybody at DameClemence was very excited with that tree and lunch conversation went on"What is the smell of Joy for Vietnamese" , staff answered : orange, coriander (InVietnam they use coriander leaf for purification before tet), smell of banhchung cooking (another traditonal dish for tet)

The perfumeof Joy linked with happy memories : festivities and celebrations.

I remember a hard time ten years ago, coming back fromLaos. I was in Lyon : it was winter, no job, no money…

With the little money I had, I bought a fewessential oils, beyond them was bergamot, vetiver. I also had a small bottle ofvanilla extract someone gave me for cooking. I blended them.

Bergamote wasdefinitely uplifting, makes me want to smile, want to laugh. Clearing my mind,being positive and enthusiast. Vetiver was definitely rooting me, givingstability and confidence. Vanilla was here for me to feel warm, compassionated,a bit more sensual and sweet. I loved this combination, it was so good for me.I always had it in my pocket. Smelling it before interviews, smelling it whenfeeling cold, when feeling disheartened.

This combination wasnothing new as it was clearly for me the basis of old Guerlains that I loved likeJicky, Shalimar or Chamade. I still use this combination in my products, but notas the main idea.

When my landlordbrought the kumquat tree this morning, she put it on the front of the door,next to the osmanthus tree, which is blossoming at the moment with its delicateapricot scent. I love this flower and I promised myself for a long time to make one day a real exquisite body perfume with it.

Here I am… Bergamot,kumquat, orange, coriander, osmanthus, jasmine, vanilla, vetiver…

From what I read on my favorite blogs on the subject, notes of frankincense, labdanum, patchouli should help.

Mmmmh, there is a formula to work on…Definitely!

Waiting for yourcomments. The best comment will get a give away... I don't think I will be able to make the Vietnamese perfume of Joy formula before the end ofthe Lunar year. So I won’t give away a sample of that perfume which is only in myhead at the moment, but I will definitely prepare for the best comment, a special blend with mybergamote, vanilla and vetiver. Shipping in Vietnam only.

All the winners of this blogathon will be informed on 29th January on this blog, after the "Tet festivities". So you can write until the 28th to be part of the game. If you want to be elligible for the prize, don't be anonymous, as I will need to contact you.

Wishing you a Happy Tet 2012 !

A perfume of Joy-post 2

2012-01-17T10:46:00.001+07:00

So many questions...

Since I have started thinking seriously about this, I have now so much to explore!
Last Saturday, I went to Thuy An orphanage. Thuy An orphanage, situated about 1h30 from Hanoi, welcomes mainly disabled children.

Some have deformity as a consequence of extensive use of orange agent during the Vietnamese war. Going to Thuy An orphanage is always an emotionally strong experience. Usually when I go there, I massage the children, or I just carry them in my arms. It's so amazing to see how these kids can relax, smile or laugh when you give them a little of caring time.

The olfactive environment is not very pleasant there. Urine smell all over the room and attack your nose when you enter, then you can distinguish some other smell of old food, or the humidity of the walls. (more informations about Thuy An's orphanage on Dona's blog.)

Therefore with thisblogathon project in my head, I grabbed 6 different essential oils for them to smell and see their reaction : bergamot,orange, lavender, pine, jasmine and rose. I could see the kids where reacting strongly to these smells. One kid who was a bit older than the others, (the one the picture) immediately gave his appreciation on the smells. He didn't like any, except the orange one which made him very enthusiast. Some other kids were keen on smelling everything. Some, from their faces, obviously did not like this strange intrusion in their olfactive world.

At this stage, I couldn't honestly see any pattern. That was a bit frustrating, as I expected a great infatuation for bergamot which is MY essential oil for joy. Anyway, this raised so many questions that just encouraged me to continue this experience.

1- Is the stromg positive reaction about the orange smell due to the inner property of the orange or is it due to the fact that it was the only smell he knew? Oranges are quite common in Vietnam. I bet in his little age and little world, he never smelt bergamot, lavender, rose, pine or jasmine before. 2- In my rush I brought only pure essential oils for them to smell. Next time I will definitely work on lower concentration. 3- There I am back with my first question : Can we make an universal perfume or Joy or the perfume of Joy is a personal thing?

4- To broader the question, is the Jean-Baptiste Grenouille perfume of love just a myth ?

I would love to read your comments and ideas about this. The most inspiring one will win a set of samples of my six room sprays. Hopefully one will connect with you and bring you Joy. (Sorry for oversea people, I can send only in Vietnam. If you have an address in Vietnam, please contact directly with us, then we know how to reach you and eventually send your prize. Be aware that if you stay anonymous, I won't be able to contact you)

A perfume of joy-post 1

2012-01-16T08:57:00.000+07:00

While reflecting on the subject, I had a few ideas : first look at what's happening on the subject in perfumery then blog about my own reflexions and personal experiences.
So far I have noticed two trends in the intention of bringing Joy
Trend 1 : An universal perfume of Joy.
First name to come is Joy of Patou, the "most expensive perfume in the world".
Then we have a few other perfumes with name Joy in it. Not too many as once a name is registered for property, nobody can call a perfume "Joy" anymore... So it is difficult to find out which perfumes have been created in the intention of Joy. So far I have listed a few and tried to find a pattern trough their descriptions :
Joy by Patou, Coeur Joie by Nina Ricci, Joy comes from Within by Creative Scentualization, Joy of Pink by Lacoste, Ode a la joie by Yves Rocher,

Les nuages de joiejaune by Ayala Moriel, Joie de vivre byJacob, Joyful by Cindy Crawford, Pure Joy by TheHealing Garden

Flowers and especially, Rose and jasmine are the number one in the "Joyful" composition, then the hesperidean : bergamot, mandarine, orange.
In natural perfumery this trend is directly linked to aromatherapy or aromachology : Using the essential oils that through their chemistry have an impact on psychology.

Trend 2 : The smell of Joy is very personal and is linked to our happy memories. This is the "madeleine de Proust" syndrome. You smell it and you travel back in your memory. The danger is that the same smell can have very different effects on diffeerent people, depending on their personal story. In Garches hospital, Patti Canac helps patients to recover their memory with scents of sea, biscuit, chldhood. Marie Therese Esnault works with prisoners, propose them to smell freedom trough scents of cut grass, strawberry, wood fire... Bring them a bit of joy in their daily routine.
Some perfumers work on smell that will remind you on happy moments. L'artisan Parfumeur invents the smell of the circus with "Dzing", the smell of the plum tart in the oven with " Pour des prunes"... Jean Claude Ellena shares moments of emotion. Pierre Bourdon creates poetry trough olfactive emotions...

In natural perfumery, this is what personnally I am trying to do. My scents have an evocative name linked to the smell, linked to a place. "Gourmandise de Can Tho" is a massage oil with ginger , orange, ylang ylang. This is the one I personnally use in wintery time, when I need to cuddle and feel warm inside.
When I designed my new year card 2010, I attributed the Feuillage de Dalat with its citrus notes to the feeling of Joy.

Comment on the Today post and you can win a Dame Clemence's Can Tho massage oil.
According to the Blogathon regulation, there will be one winner a day, for each of the three posts I will make on SAD. Winners will be announced after the "tet" holiday, on January 29th. For extra boudary shipping reasons, only wnners with an adress in Vetnam will receive their prize.

New year resolution : from advertising to blogging!

2012-01-15T13:58:00.000+07:00

2012 : A year full of promises for my blog!
I feel it is time now to become a real blogger!
At the beginning, I was having this blog because I did not have any website. I felt it was the minimum to get some existence on the net.
Now I have a website, and even more I have recently discovered the "Guild" ! All the good reasons to start blogging seriously. I know I am not a very talkative person, and even less a writer : I feel more confident with mixing scents or colors than words. Blogging will be the challenge of the year!

The first challenge is to participate to the Blogathon from the "Guild of Natural perfumers"
Three days posting about SAD* and how perfume can bring Joy in this cold, grey and depressing weather. Everyday, during these three days, I will select the best post on my blog. The winner in Vietnam (because of transport issues) will receive a "Dame Clemence's surprise" : a mood uplifter.

What is the "Guild: of Natural Perfumer?
A community of Natural perfume lovers : Some are creators, some are suppliers, some are amateurs, some are professionals... All are passionated!
just check : Amazing!
I feel so grateful to Anya and all this caring and creative community to make Natural Perfume sharing alife and to have invited me to join.
2012 will start with a "Guild" Blogathon... To be followed on 16th, 17th, 18th January...

*According to the Mayo Clinic:

Seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year. If you're like most people with seasonal affective disorder, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, seasonal affective disorder causes depression in the spring or early summer.

Des roses pour les fetes

2011-12-20T11:21:00.000+07:00

Des roses pour les fetes

Celebrate with Roses

Hoa Hong cho Tet

For the festive season, Perfume your house with the communelle 2012 : a bunch of Roses.
What is a communelle?
Communelle is traditionnally in old French perfumery the name given to a blend of different essential oils coming from different areas.
Dame Clemence Communelle 2012 comes from the idea I got last year when I created the "Tet in hanoi" with orange dominant scent. Actually by testing, trying, Research Development, I have in my lab a lot of bottles full of essential oil blends that I did during the year and that I can not use for different reasons. I feel so bad to throw them away, for affective and environmental reasons. So I decided I would mix all of them and see what the scent will come. Then I work with this scent to make a new perfume, adjust the facets with different essential oils. Last year I made so many experiment with roses, that Roses is coming out of the blend for 2012.
Dame Clemence celebrates 2012 and the year of the dragon with Roses !
Inspiration comes from the flower market in Hanoi and the streets vendors with their bicycle full of flowers. Hidden charms of Hanoi. I love it!
Des roses pour les fetes is in 30 ml spray bottles, or in 100 ml (170 000 VND) bottles for rattan sticks (350 000 VND)
