Taking notes
the past recaptured
For those unmoved by the proliferation of scents from teen pop tarts and soap opera stars, two of the best-selling fragrances at Barneys New York have more noble origins. When the Italian perfume company Carthusia i Profumi di Capri wanted to bottle the blends of wild fig, lily of the valley, lemon, and other scents created by a prior in 1380, it needed approval from the pope. And i Profumi di Firenze's collection -- with wild pomegranate blossom and purple iris -- is based on the sixteenth-century recipes of Catherine de' Medici, then queen of France. Lucky for us, says Smith College art-history professor Craig Felton, "the Renaissance never goes out of fashion." Bottom Line: These scents may be old-fashioned, but they don't smell fusty. We love their clear lemon, rose, and fig notes. --
