Le Nouveau Spectateur Français by Justus Van Effen: A Critical Edition prepared by James L. Schorr
Schorr, James L.2022 1-4955-0977-X 320 pages
"The present edition is destined for the modern reader and has attempted a significant reading of the 1725-1726 edition. Substantive changes from the 1742 edition, that is, changes in word order that nay alter the meaning of the text, are indicated in footnotes as variants. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization have been modernized, although I keep Van Effen's preference for capitalizing the deity. I also follow the 1725-1726 edition's use of italics, which serve a variety of functions, from indicating simple emphasis, to underscoring the author's use of irony, as well as indicating quoted materials, whether they be simple quotes, parts of a dialogue, or a quote within a quote."(xxxiv)

Just imagine the family dramas that would ensure from living under the same roof with a brigade of extended relatives—parents, aunts, uncles, neices, nephews, and nearly three-dozen cousins—in a rather famous hôtel particulier in the center of Paris. It’s a Wes Anderson film waiting to be shot, or the real life of perfume creator Valentine Pozzo di Borgo____. The 30-year-old Parisian, who is the great-great-granddaughter of Xavier Givaudan, the co-founder of the fragrance firm responsible for such timeless classics as Shocking by Elsa Schiaparelli and Yves Saint Laurent Opium, has an obvious nose for eau. “I grew up around fragrance. It was everywhere!,” she says. She first delved into the world of scent in 2008, when she launched Quintessence____, an interior-parfum boutique and private-label brand on the Left Bank. But when she pondered putting forth a personal-fragrance line, she didn’t have to look too far for inspiration—just simply across the dining-room table.
“The idea is that I have a huge family,” Pozzo di Borgo says. “We all have our own character, and characters can be described in perfumes. In every family, you have an artist, or someone who likes dreaming, or traveling, right? So I thought, Why not use the characters I have here in the same house as inspiration?” Why not indeed? Thus far, her range includes two imaginative scents, each named for the birth date of its muse. __8 Mars 1764__is an homage to her great-great-grand-uncle, Carl Andrea Pozzo di Borgo, a Corsican diplomat who was childhood friends with Napoleon Bonaparte, and, later, his political enemy. The rich, masculine blend, designed by master perfumer Philippe Bousseton, evokes a “drop of Cognac poured into a burning coffee” with fresh, spiced citrus notes and warm undertones of Russian leather. Think: sexy and intelligent.
23 Janvier 1984____, on the other hand, is Pozzi di Borgo’s olfactory self-portrait. Lest you think that’s a tad narcissistic, she clarifies: “I wanted MCOL/Van de Weyer Albums/Album 1/ff.18r-18v Letter from Comte Carlo Andrea Pozzo di Borgo to Jean-Sylvain Van de Weyer 1 leaf of paper, folded, 1 p.
