Frédéric Malle - Uncut GemFrdric Malle war schon immer von Gratwanderungen fasziniert. Er hat immer verstanden, dass ein Hauch von Extravaganz in den richtigen Hnden mehr Kraft und Elan haben kann als alles andere, was eher zurckhaltend ist. Daher seine Suche nach dem, was er als ein fast zu offensichtliches Eau de Toilette beschreibt: ein Duft, der mit den mden Codes der Mnnlichkeit spielt und gleichzeitig ihre mystische Kraft extrahiert, um etwas Schnes und Unwiderstehliches

Frédéric Malle war schon immer von Gratwanderungen fasziniert. Er hat immer verstanden, dass ein Hauch von Extravaganz in den richtigen Händen mehr Kraft und Elan haben kann als alles andere, was eher zurückhaltend ist. Daher seine Suche nach dem, was er als „ein fast zu offensichtliches Eau de Toilette“ beschreibt: ein Duft, der mit den müden Codes der Männlichkeit spielt und gleichzeitig ihre mystische Kraft extrahiert, um etwas Schönes und Unwiderstehliches zu schaffen.

Uncut Gem geht auf die Grenze des guten Geschmacks zu, fängt sie mit dem Lasso ein und zähmt sie lässig wie ein bockendes Pferd.

Maurice Roucel ist eine Legende in der Welt der Parfümerie – einer der ersten Mitarbeiter von Malle, ein guter Freund und der Autor einiger seiner bekanntesten Düfte, darunter Musc Ravageur. Und seit Jahren war Malle von Roucels eigenem Duft fasziniert, einer einzigartigen Mischung, die er im Labor für seinen eigenen Gebrauch kreiert hatte.

Der Duft war wie Maurice Roucel selbst: kompromisslos, kühn, technisch brillant und von warmem Charme erfüllt. „Er wirkt auf den ersten Blick rau“, sagt Malle, „aber das ist eine bewusste Entscheidung! Er ist eine Naturgewalt: intellektuell unglaublich raffiniert und voller Humor und Liebe zu den Menschen. Ich bin nicht der Einzige, der fand, dass er gut riecht, aber ich bin der Einzige, mit dem er zusammenarbeiten würde, um den Duft von einer groben Skizze in etwas Raffiniertes zu verwandeln. Und ich fühle mich geehrt, weil das so autobiografisch und persönlich ist.“ Nach fünf Jahren Überredungskunst willigte Roucel ein, mit Malle zusammenzuarbeiten, um das Parfüm zu kreieren, das später Uncut Gem werden sollte.

Die Marke Frédéric Malle war schon immer ein Synonym für Eleganz. Während Malle seinen Mitarbeitern völlige kreative Freiheit einräumt, sieht er es als seine Aufgabe als Herausgeber an, eine gewisse übergreifende Sensibilität zu bewahren, die seit jeher sehr raffiniert ist. Doch Innovation, Neuerfindung und Interpretation sind seine Daseinsberechtigung. „Es hatte nicht nur etwas Kühles, Technisches – vor allem diese verrückte Überdosis Ambrocenid –, sondern etwas völlig Unwiderstehliches“, sagt Malle. „Mit einer Menge frischer natürlicher Stoffe und Moschus war er nicht nur anziehend, sondern auch schick.“

Klare, würzige Kopfnoten aus Ingwer, Bergamotte, Mandarine, Angelika und Muskatnuss führen zum Feuer im Inneren: ein ledriger Akkord, Vetiver, Weihrauch, großzügige Mengen von Amber und ein Moschus, der mit der Haut pulsiert. Ein muskulöses Pendant zum klassischen Musc Ravageur.

Das Ergebnis ist zugleich geradlinig und rätselhaft: Der rohe Sexappeal weicht einer anhaltenden Subtilität. Das Ergebnis macht den Geruch von Haut irgendwie tiefer, wärmer, reiner. Uncut Gem ist eine Studie der Kontraste. Er ist rau und sensibel, klassisch und frisch, ein erster Eindruck und eindringlicher Nachhall.

Well done!
Format: Kindle
Young, bloodied, sleep deprived and starving, not to mention being surrounded by an army of hungry sharks! It seems almost unimaginable that a sixteen-year-old could experience such a harrowing ordeal and live to tell about it. The story of young Josh, a baseball loving kid from San Antonio, Texas, who forges his mothers signature in order to join the Navy, takes place in 1945 near the end of WWII aboard the USS Indianapolis. After being struck by a Japanese torpedo, the mighty Naval ship sinks, thrusting the survivors into an unforgiving ocean for five harrowing days. The story is fast-paced with lots of action without being overly graphic and is the perfect for middle-schoolers with a penchant for excitement! There's also a great friendship angle which was really great to see especially since the boy Josh befriends (Lee) is of Japanese decent. At the time Josh bears a lot of resentment towards the Japanese since his father was killed when the Japanese bombed Pear Harbor so I think this offers an excellent 'teaching moment' for kids today. The book is chock-full of numerous interesting facts about the USS Indianapolis which I hadn't known before reading the book. Of note, it states that the sinking of the USS Indianapolis resulted in the largest number of shark attacks on humans in history, which I think is a little known and very interesting fact! Well done!

A fast paced and exciting read
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis by a Japanese submarine towards the end of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of a sixteen year old boy, Josh, who lied about his age on his enlistment application and forged his mother's signature. He was determined to do his bit for the American war effort and revenge the death of his father during the attack on Pearl Harbour. When the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed, the survivors, about three quarters of the crew, were flung into the ocean without any survival equipment. Many of them did not even have life jackets and were burned by the fire that had broken out on board the ship or injured when they were swept overboard. The scent of urine and blood soon attracts sharks, lots of sharks, and the survivors fear that they have survived the sinking of the ship only to become food for these huge and vicious fish. The story is short and sharp and I think middle school and young teenage boys will really enjoy it. The author shares some details of the attack and sinking of the ship, without making it to graphic and over whelming for younger readers. Boys, particularly, will relate to the action packed excitement of the attack and also to Josh's thoughts about his mother and younger brother back home. The terrible hardship of being in the ocean for a few days, without food or water, the temptation to drink sea water to alleviate the dreadful thirst and the savage behavior of some of the other survivors are all well told but not with so much detail that younger readers will become overwhelmed or bored. Josh's relationship with another young survivor, Lee, who is of Japanese extraction is also most interesting and contains a good message of delving deeper into relationships and people that merely their heritage and looks.

RAW AND REAL
Format: Kindle
A powerful story of a historical adventure narrated through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old survivor. Josh enlisted with forged papers to avenge the death of his father at Pearl Harbor. He is straight out of boot camp serving on the USS Indianapolis when the battleship is struck by a Japanese torpedo. He struggles to escape the burning ship, but that is just the beginning of his troubles. No help is in sight; sharks infest the waters, and the survivors begin to turn against each other. This book is a powerful story filled with raw emotions, adventure, and history. The authors provide readers with an action-packed tale filled with interesting facts about sharks and military history. It contains actual photographs, maps, and hand-drawn illustrations. The book is little more than one hundred pages. Reluctant readers can easily navigate the short chapters with graphics. Targeted for middle grades but just as appealing to young adult and adult audiences.

Approved by my 8 year old!
Format: Paperback
My 8 yr old son read it on his own. He liked it but some parts were a bit gross and scary for him. It is along the lines of the I Survived books. He said it was a good story because it was based on real life even though some of the parts were a little scary.
