Description
This Chypre floral gets 4 stars from Turin and Sanchez and what they say is worth quoting.
" Released in 1980, Ivoire was the first, and remains the best, of a clutch of dense, creamy, soapy florals that made it big just before the Poison-Giorgio eighteen -wheeler trend ran these prim fragrances over.
Ivoire has a classic, slightly nonedescript, downmarket
French chic about it and comes in a pleasantly dowdy bottle"

Looks good to me !
I like the description Great capture
Excellent I like that knited BG you used Andrea
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Excellent shot! :)
You have a lot of perfumes I have never heard of :o)
An interesting shot,
Great shot of the eau de toilet against that stellar patterned texture.
You capture these perfume bottles so well, nicely presented and shot.
Two fantastic images but I prefer this one for its stripes on stripes design. I also love it when manufacturers give their products French names. Then they can charge twice as much for the product. Boeuf Bourguignon - $41 44 oz Beef Stew - $22 48 oz
very good lighting on this
LOL! great description...I should think it would make it quite popular. Lovely work.
I like the stripes you chose for this one, but prefer the light in the other. The description is great! :)
I am always astounded to view another one from your fine collection, and one I have never seen before, that's quite a challenge on it's own ... but I prefer the 'flickr' version - because of the back-lighting, BB
You have two completely different treatments between here and flickr. The flickr has these standing proudly with beautiful nature behind it. It's proud and public, even though you've placed it in the shade...Here, it's all intimate and private, hugged by a fabric that echoes the stripes on the box. And it's enveloped, and you use filtering too, giving it grain and 'cells', etc. And this, here, shows more of your sensitivity to studio setup. I think most of the photographers here work outside studios, and probably do little of what you do, ie, placement, backdrop, lighting, combining with other objects, etc. People take that for granted until they finally do it: I've tried it many times---you've yet to see one result in my gallery---and I just can't get it. Which is why I so admire your work in those areas. Yours are always alive and attuned to the language of the objects you shoot. Painters could get around mediocre setups with infinite choices of hue, stroke, light, dark, etc. But the camera doesn't give that many options, so you really have to know what you're doing. This is very well set up and captured. And the cap stands in fine contrast to that bottle. And btw, a really descriptive description of the fragrance! I looked up Poison-Giorgio but didn't find anything I could recognize. And I love "a classic, slightly nonedescript, downmarket French chic...and comes in a pleasantly dowdy bottle". I can honestly say, "slightly nondescript downmarket French chic" is really creative description; and "a pleasantly dowdy bottle" is great. Not questioning that their description is accurate, just amazed at the literary fun they have in describing it.
I would have to strongly go with the FlickR version. What a difference!
