Just recently I showed you the collection of New Notes<\/a> (read here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) and now I present you my interview with Cristian Calabr\u00f2, the perfumer of the fragrances. Of course, we know him from various other projects as well. So he is involved in the also extremely exciting brand THoO<\/a> and created here some fragrance compositions. He worked for Roberto Ugolini<\/a> as well as for Bois 1920<\/a> and many others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it is always exciting to learn about a perfumer’s point of view, his approach to creations and their development. So it’s best to let our guest today have his say right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the Duft-Tagebuch: Cristian Calabr\u00f2! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

Cristian Calabr\u00f2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dear Cristian, first I would like to know how you became a perfumer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started for a lucky meeting to work for a fragrance house, alongside a master perfumer. I trained there, and my passion for raw materials and fragrances grew.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You created all the creations for New Notes. Did you have any guidelines or did you have full rein?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each New Notes creation is an olfactory interpretation of suggestive images that have emerged from various meetings with the client. I have done nothing but give shape to those images by transforming emotions and memories into liquid form, interpreting them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For each of the New Notes fragrances, can you give us three keywords that describe the scent in your eyes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Leather: enveloping, harmonious, minimalist.
Rosa Limone: fresh, energizing, sparkling.
Talco: soft, elegant, sensual.
Queen of the Sea: innovative, immersive, audacious.
Musk Complexity: vibrant, prismatic, complex.
Caramelo Vanilla: sweet, delightful, deep.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\"Three<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Which of the fragrances was particularly challenging for you in terms of development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably Musk Complexity. Introducing the concept of layering in a perfume was fun, but certainly complicated. Looking for musks, each of which took up a characteristic of the previous one, and making them work together was a great challenge<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How long did you work on the collection in total?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I remember correctly, the project started about a year and a half before the launch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What makes New Notes fragrances unique in your eyes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of reinterpreting perfumery by freeing itself from overly classic and heavy patterns, trying to give it new shapes and shades.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\n
\"New<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Do you have a favorite fragrance from your portfolio?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have many to tell the truth, but above all I really love the work of some perfumers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between the Contemporary Blend and the Hologram Collection?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary Blend Collection: From the unusual marriage between the most emblematic essences of perfumery, worked and blended with divergent touches, come eclectic notes, exquisitely contrasting accords and new olfactory directions. They are contemporary and multisensory blends that expand horizons beyond pleasure.<\/p>

Hologram Collection: Like a hologram, which gives a 3D vision to a 2D image, each Hologram fragrance searches for new olfactory depths from the superimposition of luxurious raw materials. The layering of different tones of the same note, like a bridge of value for all the others, generates kaleidoscopic extracts that are definitely out of the box. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
