PLONGEE DANS L’HISTOIRE DU PARFUM DANS SON NOUVEAU GRAND MUSEE

PLONGEE DANS L’HISTOIRE DU PARFUM DANS SON NOUVEAU GRAND MUSEE

Le Grand Musée du parfum, installé dans un hôtel particulier de la rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré qui a abrité la maison Christian Lacroix, propose une expérience sensorielle, revendiquant une « approche différente et complémentaire » de celle du Musée international de la parfumerie à Grasse. Offrande aux dieux puis eau médicinale, instrument de séduction, désormais au coeur d’une industrie très dynamique : le parfum, son histoire et ses ingrédients.

Le kyphi, qui remonte à l’Egypte antique, est l’un des premiers parfums dont la formule a été connue, explique l’historienne Elisabeth de Feydeau, membre du conseil scientifique et culturel du musée. « Ce parfum était préparé par les prêtres pour honorer les dieux. Ils se sont rendu compte que dans sa préparation, ils trouvaient une sorte d’apaisement, et ils ont commencé à le proposer comme médicament ». Le kyphi (qui signifie « parfum deux fois bon »), associe les bois, les épices, les fleurs, pour une senteur très orientale. Ces parfums, dont les recettes se trouvaient sur les murs des laboratoires à l’entrée des pyramides, étaient brûlés, ingérés ou encore mélangés à des huiles pour des massages.


Le parfum lié à la médecine
Une reine septuagénaire laide et paralytique qui retrouve la santé et la beauté de ses 20 ans grâce à un élixir concocté par un ermite: la légende de l’eau de la reine de Hongrie est le meilleur concept marketing jamais inventé, souligne Elisabeth de Feydeau. Cette eau, qui date du 14e siècle, utilise le procédé de la distillation mis au point par les Arabes, avec des plantes de la garrigue comme le thym, la marjolaine, le romarin. Le parfum est alors lié à la médecine, à l’hygiène et à la lutte contre les épidémies qui déciment l’Europe, comme l’illustre l’histoire du vinaigre des quatre voleurs. Les quatre brigands détroussent les cadavres pendant la peste de Toulouse au 17e siècle sans être contaminés, grâce à une recette à base notamment de clous de girofle et d’absinthe agissant comme antiseptique.

L’art du parfum
D’apothicaire, le parfumeur devient créateur à partir de la fin du 18e siècle, où s’ébauche un art du parfum, au 19e et encore plus au 20e siècle. Le parfumeur se libère des formules pour créer, trouvant dans les matières de synthèse des ingrédients qui viennent enrichir sa palette et l’aident à dépasser la nature. La chimie permet par exemple de reproduire l’odeur du muguet, fleur trop fragile pour qu’on puisse en extraire le parfum. La parfumerie se lie à la mode. « Cette robe vous va à ravir, mais une larme de mon parfum sur son ourlet, et elle vous ira à merveille », disait Paul Poiret, premier couturier à commercialiser ses propres parfums en 1911.

La conception du jus
L’appellation de « nez » ne reflète pas tout le processus de création d’un parfum: « Le nez bien sûr est présent, mais ce n’est qu’un outil de vérification », explique Jean-Christophe Hérault, parfumeur chez le géant américain des arômes et parfums IFF, partenaire du musée. Dans son bureau, il commence par imaginer un parfum, écrit une formule, comportant les ingrédients et leurs quantités, puis fait peser par des assistants dans le laboratoire cette recette, qu’il teste et affine peu à peu.

Six heures: c’est la durée idéale d’un parfum, pour Jean-Claude Ellena, ancien nez d’Hermès, maison dont il est désormais conseiller. « Les molécules lourdes, celles qui vont rester longtemps, il y en a trente, c’est tout », explique le célèbre parfumeur, citant « la coumarine, les muscs, la vanille ». « Si on n’utilise que ces molécules, la construction olfactive est très peu intéressante, elle se répète. Avec des molécules plus légères, il y a plus de diversité d’expression ». « On entend souvent, il faut que ça tienne sur ma peau. Moi je dis oui, mais pas des jours! Le beau ne tient pas forcément. »

    I was just searching for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.

    certainly like your web site however you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth on the other hand I?ll certainly come back again.

  14. I have realized that of all kinds of insurance, medical insurance is the most marked by controversy because of the struggle between the insurance company’s need to remain making money and the buyer’s need to have insurance coverage. Insurance companies’ income on overall health plans are low, as a result some companies struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the concepts you reveal through this web site.

  16. okmark your weblog and check again here frequently. I’m quite sure I will learn many new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next!

  17. One important issue is that while you are searching for a student loan you may find that you will need a co-signer. There are many situations where this is correct because you could find that you do not possess a past credit standing so the loan company will require that you have someone cosign the loan for you. Good post.

  18. Howdy very cool website!! Guy .. Excellent .. Amazing .. I’ll bookmark your site and take the feeds additionally?I am glad to search out so many useful info here within the publish, we want work out more techniques in this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .

  19. Thanks for expressing your ideas with this blog. Additionally, a fantasy regarding the banks intentions if talking about property foreclosures is that the bank will not have my installments. There is a fair bit of time in which the bank is going to take payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside hole, they may commonly require that you pay the payment entirely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. In case you and the loan company can find a way to work a thing out, the actual foreclosure approach may halt. However, in case you continue to skip payments wih the new program, the foreclosures process can pick up from where it left off.

  20. I do love the manner in which you have framed this specific situation plus it does present me a lot of fodder for thought. However, because of everything that I have witnessed, I really hope as the actual feed-back pack on that folks stay on point and not start on a tirade regarding the news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this outstanding point and although I can not go along with the idea in totality, I respect the viewpoint.

    One other thing I would like to state is that in place of trying to suit all your online degree courses on days that you complete work (considering that people are worn out when they get back), try to get most of your instructional classes on the weekends and only a couple of courses in weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your weekend break. This is beneficial because on the weekends, you will be far more rested and concentrated in school work. Thanks a bunch for the different suggestions I have learned from your web site.

  23. That is very fascinating, You’re an overly professional blogger. I have joined your feed and look ahead to searching for more of your great post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!

  24. The unique payment platform that earns you INSTANT CASH BACK on everything you’re buying, at stores where you’re already shopping.

  25. Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here. Moreover, I believe there are some factors that really keep your insurance premium down. One is, to take into account buying cars and trucks that are within the good report on car insurance providers. Cars that happen to be expensive will be more at risk of being robbed. Aside from that insurance is also depending on the value of your automobile, so the higher in price it is, then higher the premium you pay.

  26. Nice post. I be taught something more difficult on different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and practice a little one thing from their store.

The sensors of some cams change in in the area of contrast, while others make use of a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low lighting. Higher standards cameras oftentimes use a mix of both devices and likely have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ some sort of face while keeping your focus only upon that. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this blog site.

  38. Thanks for your posting. I also think that laptop computers are getting to be more and more popular these days, and now are sometimes the only kind of computer employed in a household.

  48. Thanks for your post. I have generally observed that a lot of people are desperate to lose weight simply because they wish to appear slim and attractive. Nevertheless, they do not often realize that there are more benefits to losing weight also. Doctors declare that over weight people are afflicted by a variety of disorders that can be instantly attributed to their own excess weight. The great news is that people who are overweight plus suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by losing weight. You possibly can see a constant but marked improvement in health while even a negligible amount of fat loss is obtained.

    One thing I would really like to say is always that car insurance termination is a terrifying experience so if you’re doing the appropriate things as being a driver you’ll not get one. Many people do receive the notice that they are officially dropped by their own insurance company and several have to struggle to get added insurance following a cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates usually are hard to get following a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons regarding auto insurance cancellation can help motorists prevent sacrificing one of the most crucial privileges out there. Thanks for the thoughts shared by means of your blog.

  62. I have viewed that clever real estate agents all around you are Advertising. They are knowing that it’s more than just placing a sign post in the front place. It’s really regarding building associations with these dealers who at some point will become purchasers. So, while you give your time and energy to encouraging these vendors go it alone — the « Law connected with Reciprocity » kicks in. Interesting blog post.
