Parfums DelRae Mythique ~ perfume review
Just as everyone’s clothing wardrobe benefits from a few low-key, comfortable items to pull on without thinking, perfume wardrobes need the same. Can you imagine how it would be to open the closet and find a row of late-1950s silk brocade Scaasi cocktail dresses? A dream come true! But what if they were all you had to wear? Before long you’d be desperate for a pair of well worn Levis and a cashmere sweater. I can easily see Parfums DelRae Mythique becoming my daily comfort wear.
Perfumer Yann Vasnier worked with DelRae Roth to create Mythique in 2009. Roth’s vision of Mythique was inspired by a painting of Diane de Poitiers, French king Henri II’s mistress and one-time owner of Chenonceau, a Loire Valley chateau with a dramatic, two-story gallery on stone arches extending over the Cher river (click here for a virtual tour).

Melon is the new black. It is not the new black I was hoping for as I stuck pins in my sweet-fruity-floral voodoo doll, but there you are: be careful what you wish for. If you like melon in your perfume, you are going to love Emotionnelle, the latest fragrance from Parfums DelRae, which opens with the biggest, brightest, juiciest melon (Octavian at 1000 Fragrances: “I've never seen such a huge and hyper realistic melon note…”) ever bottled. You can just about taste it.
Emotionnelle was reportedly inspired by the smells DelRae Roth recorded in her diary on a visit to Paris (why couldn't she have had jasmine and frankincense for breakfast?), but perfumistas will more likely notice the links to Le Parfum de Thérèse, created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska for his wife…
Parfums Delrae Mythique, Menard L’Eau de Taoyaka ~ new perfumes
Next up from Parfums DelRae will be Mythique, a new fragrance for women inspired by Diane de Poitiers, the Duchess of Valentinois and mistress of Henri II of France.
DelRae Roth has captured her spirit with Florentine iris and flowers found in the gardens at Chenonceau, the Loire valley castle given to Diane de Poitiers by Henri II…
