Anyhow, I'll read up on Mr. Weller's response to Grain de musc before speaking further on this topic. As promised here's my post in the meantime: http://tuileries.blogspot.com/2009/05/oh-yes-as-promised.html Thanks Robin once again for everything.

Especially for the ones to come. This is an unreasonable banning and as far as I consider it is THE "filthy game". I am happy of what I have now and I will be killing myself with REAL oak moss and jasmin for years to come. And in a mean time I will stock up on amber perfumes. I guess amber will be next "deadly weapon". Who knows.. From now on you can and should expect crazy things.

A lovely quote from Grain de Musc: " It’s like saying to painters: you can’t put red in your paintings anymore, because we’ve found out it makes people more aggressive. And, oh, by the way, we’re repainting everything in the museums in pink, so there you go, now there’s a good fellow." http://graindemusc.blogspot.com/2009/04/joyless-world.html I do not think perfumery is over, and doubt LT does either, but to destroy the masterpieces of perfumery like this is terribly sad.

Dear friends, some gone forever, some permanently disfigured. But all doom and gloom aside, I think turin is serioulsy underestimating the industry he loves. I do think the larger players are in on this. They have to be. There is a coming shift in perfumery, and they will get theirs. Here's the hope- as purification techniques improve (taking out the minute amount of sensitizers and such). There will be more and more options over time. They will be more expensive for sure, but since when have the actual raw materials been a large part of the cost? Granted, this could be devastating to small natural ingredients suppliers. Second- Loopholes loopholes loopholes, some have been found before the law even goes into effect. "Do not spray on skin" is only one example. Others will be found. Third- Have you smelled givaudan's tomato base? It's completely synthetic and it is awesome. Synthetics, with the use of headspace and other technologies, are catching up with the complexity of naturals, at least in the realm of aesthetics. Not to mention that using synthetics may decrease the load placed upon natural resources- making perfumery greener even if it impacts some of our favorite green notes. Fourth- For some of us, perfumery is life. And life always finds a way. The end is often times the beginning. I do regret that there are going to be casualties.
