Beautiful honey/neroli/amber with a bright floral quality
Long-overdue proper sampling of Justin Frederico’s debut release under his own line, Frederico Parfums, Blooming Amber, from 2022. It’s a well-named, rich, bright floral amber that has a prominent feature of honey/neroli/citrus, fresh and sweet and resinous. It’s easygoing yet attention-grabbing and opulent, quite refined, and does not mimic previous releases, though it’s very much in the same broader family as Zoologist Bee—which is fittingly focused more on the honey—and Hiram Green Slowdive—which leans spicier. A really impressive release from Justin, whose work in the Perfumology line has been well-documented and -appreciated for a number of years now.
The line is sold at Perfumology, and Blooming Amber in particular is priced at $185 for 50ml in parfum concentration, and there’s also a sample set of all five of the house’s releases (to date) for $35. I really look forward to trying the rest of his line, also.
