in Le Jardin Retrouvé, Yuri Gutsatz

I am beginning a series of Le Jardin Retrouvé perfume reviews at cologneperfumefragrance.

Yuri Gutsatz is the founder of this parfum house. I had never heard of Gutsatz prior to being given samples of his fragrances. I'm glad his son is keeping his memory and his work alive.

I particularly like the idea he expresses here about needing imagination and audacity to be a parfumer:

Perfumers should not let themselves be permanently deprived of their creative initiative - this was the prerogative of French perfumery during several generations, and the origin of its renown and greatness. They should not be transformed into robots chained to a mountain of imitations! To avoid this, there is only one issue - to show proof of imagination and audacity! Extract from his speech at the Perfumers' Conference: Grave problems now facing creativity in Perfumery

All too often today I think we are being given mountains of imitations -- how could they not, when upwards of 800 new fragrances come out yearly! Once upon a time I wanted to smell them all, but no longer! Give me only the best of the lot, seriously!

Come join me at cologneperfumefragrance to visit the fragrances of this unique house. We will discover the house together.

Have you ever tried any of these fragrances?
If yes, what do you think of them? Do you have a favorite?
If not, ask Le Jardin Retrouvé for Free Samples - All around the world.)
