Make perfume not war!
Gérald Ghislain has come up with an idea much more important than the usual commercial blurp which accompanies the release of a new fragrance. He set up a charity called "Make Perfume Not War" and the aim is "to finance associations and charitable projects that promote and enhance the development and well-being of children worldwide through education, the arts, sports, technology and microfinance."
His first step was the launch of a limited edition scent "Make Perfume not War" . This is the way he describes it himself: "A citrus activist leaps for a rush of freedom in perfect citrusy tranquility, followed by flowers and fruits that come together in a soft and milky heart. Peace finally arrives on the scene, lulled by a trail of musk."
The fragrance is very lively, with beautiful accents of tangerine and lemon, grapefruit and bergamot. Don't be afraid of too many fruits and flowers, they don't dominate the scent, but seem to be artfully intertwined with the citrussy aspects and never ever give the impression of a maintream fruity-floral. The overall effect is one of a vibrant, pulsating freshness with a trifle soapiness in the drydown ("fresh laundry" due to the musk used). A very versatile, very optimistic, cheerful scent full of energy. I can only recommend both the fragrance and the motto.
