Paul Schütze: The True Art of Fine Fragrance

The Paul Schütze Collection
As an artist Paul Schütze is one of the few to work in the medium of scent. Captivated by the notion of capturing the ephemeral, his collection of three scents are olfactory snapshots of three fleeting moments, three otherwise lost memories.

Paul Schütze eschews the traditional perfume making pyramid in favour of a layered artwork, a cleverly and immaculately constructed narrative. We are thrilled Paul has asked us to share these stories at Roullier White.
Tears of Eros
Tears of Eros references a night in the artist's studio in Paris. Incense embers lay amongst discarded clementine skins by a potted hyacinth, a draft from the open window wrapped the aromas in a chilly embrace.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

  Amberley Ramblings, A Bit Of Fluff, French Dressing & Lip Service! The Elizabethan Grandeur Of Parham House, Photographed On My Walk Good Morning! And another chilly one, however we are almost through January and must keep our eyes on the horizon! Apparently, this Monday was 'Blue Monday', another of those slightly ridiculous marketing tags, this one instigated by a holiday company in order to encourage us to book a trip - actually quite clever when you think about it!  It doesn't make one feel exactly happy and perky though. Darkness and damp can make us feel a little down on any day of the week, but then New Order didn't pen a song called 'Blue Wednesday', so I suppose that doesn't really work for marketing purposes! Anyway, I am not feeling vaguely 'blue' and hope that neither are you! Had a lovely w/e  - on Saturday, we visited Arundel Farmer's Market and I was delighted with my haul - Pinot Noir from Georgia (I love Georgian reds),  a
