Launching Scent Families
Launching Scent Families
Author and writer Alexandra Kleeman takes us into her journey of discovery with a new article for Vogue describing the new trend in perfumery of creating scent collections rather that just singlular perfumes.
Excerpts from a fragrance editorial, Bottled Up, in Vogue Magazine, February 2017 issue.
Bottled Up
"Launching scent families rather than single perfumes is a trend sweeping the fragrance industry. But does that leave us bewitched, bothered - or bewildered?"
-- Alexandra Kleeman, Author and Writer |

I've encountered only a handful of people who've found that fragrance that truly completes them ... This blissful union of individual and scent is a bond I've sought and envied ever since I was eighteen and bought my first bottle of Chanel Chance ... More than a decade later ... I find myself still hunting for my signature scent... This time, however, the search is complicated by the fact that counters are heavy with newly launched fragrance "anthologies" rather than single "stories."
