Do you like tea? Summer sweeps across the land, the colors of the map become less intense, Nordic summer drought, white-light yellow hope, merged with heat. In the offices, the gentlemen have sweat stains under their armpits. Perhaps it’s air-conditioned....

About two years ago, I smelled MFK's "Oud" for the first time: on a scent strip, in downtown Hamburg, as one of many tests. I stored it away as "nice and worth a re-test," and our paths parted. Some time ago, a now inactive Parfumo member,...

So here it is: The first (non-flanker) men’s fragrance by Christine Nagel as the house perfumer at Hermès. The expectations were - are, and will remain - high. Terre d'Hermès sends its regards. There are fewer tasks more challenging...

Because everyone needs a hobby, I sat down at the kitchen table today and started to recreate the beautiful Orage by Louis Vuitton. You know, what you do during lockdown. I must preface this by saying that I am an absolute novice...

Results of a non-representative street survey that did not take place: “I find it quite generic (didn't know the word until yesterday, but I saw it on Google). It's just one of those Blue ones, you know, like stupid Chanel, but not too Chanel-like,...

There are fragrances that are not groundbreaking, but good. Fragrances that you like to spray on in the morning. Fragrances that make you think not of 'perfume', but of 'just smelling good'. Fragrances that don't...

To label “Illusione” by Bottega Veneta as an unknown fragrance is somewhat puzzling, given its 127 reviews and 54 owners about a year after its release. Nevertheless, somehow it seems to me that despite its potential,...

It seems to be the classic scenario: A perfume or a perfuma strolls through an Italian city, the sun is shining, and the mood is in vacation mode - and there! A scent, a fragrance trail! Scent detected! The fine...

Beloved Bergamot, we hide so much, show it to no one, out of shame, out of fear that our vulnerability might be exploited. Imperfection pricks like a thorn. Pressure from the outside, pressure from within, to conform to images, not the other...
