...Do you notice that today's mainstream perfumery only uses 4-8 notes in a fragrance? Where is the artistry? Back in the 80's early 90s the note pyramids were multi-layered containing 8 notes on top, 6 on the middle and 5 or 6 on the bottom. Now we've got only 4 to 6 notes or so.Take here for example 80's Poisonhttp://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Dior/Poison-218.html2012http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Yves-Saint-Laurent/Manifesto-15540.htmlAnd anotherhttp://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Cristobal-Balenciaga/Florabotanica-15512.htmlWhat is your take on this? Your honest opinion would be appreciated.
