Much of the itinerary included visits to vineyards. Although I don't drink, I found the experience of evaluating the aroma quite enjoyable. I was challenged to identify notes; pink pepper, green apple, oak, quite a fun game!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecently I recreated the 1930s perfume, Dana Emir, by the illustrious Jean Carles. The idea of experiencing the perfume in what would've been close to its original form felt a bit like traveling through time via scent. The association with Frida Kahlo amplified my interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also obtained a vintage sample from the 1950s as a comparison. I had many thoughts about the description of the perfume, the degradation of some of the ingredients, and the vintage brilliance of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire experience inspired me to create an intimate discussion of the perfume and comparison between the vintage and modern reproduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reproduction is based on a formulation provided by Fraterworks. Jamie Frater has this to say about Jean Carles: \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is no secret that I revere Jean Carles beyond all perfumers; Fraterworks is testament to that. From free formulas to his original bases we've got it all. I was recently gifted a notebook of Jean Carles' original handwritten formulas, a true museum-worthy treasure, and in celebration, this week we are focussing on his work and publishing his formula for Emir, the masterpiece oriental for Dana in the 1930s.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticipants will receive:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e4ml bottle of Repro Emir (modern reproduction of Dana Emir)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis will not be IFRA compliant and is intended for study purposes only.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough Fraterworks uses IFRA compliant oakmoss in this formulation, I will be using \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eunadulterated Yugoslavian Oakmoss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.25ml sample of Dana Emir obtained from a vintage coffret of Jean Carles fragrances.
