Rose is the ultimate perfume paradigm, but today, this is strangely more theory than reality. It is universally known within the industry that the smell of rose does quite poorly in focus groups and, to perfume buyers, reads “old lady.”
One spectacularly good and novel approach to rose is Cannabis Rose by Fresh. The label’s Cannabis Santal, a 2006 creation by the brilliant young perfumer Caroline Sabas and Fresh creative director Lev Glazman, was a triumph. This was explicitly cannabis as pot, the ultra-rich, dirty, jungle-floor organic resin scent of the dried leaves. Sabas mixed it with sandalwood, and it remains a mesmerizing work of art.

To French-Beninese singer Mina Agossi, there’s nothing sacred about jazz standards.
She beatboxes on “Ain’t Misbehaving”, breaks into French in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and boils down Thelonious Monk’s classic “Well, You Needn’t ” to the point of reciting it.
And if that were not enough to scare away jazz purists, Agossi has done away with piano, guitar and a brass section, and sings with only drums and double bass for accompaniment.
