Bal De Minuit

I was searching perfume brands in my region and found this one based in the city of Lyon. Decided to look on the database here and there's only one review of all their scent combined but it's just a rant at the brand, so I'm going to address that; I don't see what's pretentious about the name here, also, no I don't remember when it was just Chanel, Dior and Tom Ford doing that. The amusing thing is including TF in that statement when that fragrance brand is a newcomer in comparison, hardly an 'originator' LOL. Charging hundreds of dollars for a bottle as TF could arguably be deemed the height of pretentiousness coupled with some of their fragrance names. Since when is perfumery about elitism and closing the doors to new faces and creators? Everyone has to start somewhere be it in the field of fragrances, cinematography, writing or the arts. Once upon a time brands like the aforementioned trio released their own very first fragrances.

So many brands that appear overnight and dive into copycats of niche and "exclusive" lines with big bottles, a fancy pretentious name on a sticker and the whole niche thing! Remember when it was only Chanel and Dior and Tom Ford doing that? This saturation is just so tiring now and takes away from the "originals". Every day an unknown brand (mostly french) launches a so called niche collection. The market is flooded. This makes me hate perfume. SERIOUSLY.

Completely agree with the previous reviewer : choice is the basic right of anyone in a democratic society. Since when appearance of a new brand is so tiring for the first reviewer. Don’t like choice stick to the so to say “originals”, and don’t shut the doors on the ones who are creating a diversity in the space.
