With inspiration coming from my last post on the House of Worth, I have been tempted to take maybe a little bit of artistic licence with this one and have done a bit of a relaunch of my own.As mentioned Worth are poised to relaunch their classic Je Reviens fragrance. This has long been one of my all time favourites and I have worn it for years. Unfortunately with most classic perfumes the current edition available is just a shadow of its former self. So let us hope that Worth gets it right this time.
While doing a bit of research for the Worth post I came across an interesting story of previous perfumes launched in the 1920’s through to the 1930’s including Je Reviens. With the names of 5 perfumes Worth created a little hidden poem on love.
Dans La Nuit (1924) in the night
Vers Le Jour (1925) towards the day
Sans Adieu (1929) without bidding farewell
Je Reviens (1932) I will return
Vers Toi (1934) to you
Given this I was wondering how to illustrate this poem and have taken a few liberties of drawing images from Helmut Newton and various other sources to do this. Mind you my interpretation is a little darker than what Worth might have had in mind; however I am happy with the result. I did have a little trouble sticking to just one image for each perfume, as you can see.
Dans La Nuit
Vers le Jour
Sans Adieu
Je Reviens
Vers Toi
Sans Adieu
Je Reviens
Vers Toi
