Messe de Minuit (Eau de Toilette)

Messe de Minuit Eau de Toilette

Etro

Bittersweet-ethereal balminess. Soothing. Sensual. Stimulating. Elegant. Church and secular. A timeless fragrance. Initially soft, silky, minimally smoky frankincense. Interwoven with dense, bitter-citrusy freshness (especially Petitgrain). The association...

Not always wanting to know what is good for you

France. Paris. 1st Arrondissement. At Place de la Concorde, there is advertising for the upcoming Olympic Summer Games next year, the Tuileries Garden is already adorned with Christmas market stalls, and the evening...

Les Indémodables

Les Indémodables is often praised in perfume circles as a very pleasant example of an integral niche, where the selection of raw materials, artistic approach, transparency, and consideration of wearability are in an appealing and balanced relationship....

H24 (Eau de Toilette)

H24 Eau de Toilette

Hermès

A Sketch of Nothing

Modern freshness. Metallic-green citrus-sweet-spicy. Like chased through a diffuser. Dry. Grainy. Spherical. A herb-fruity ginger note. Cinnamon nuances. Vetiver peaks. And above all Sclarene, a fully synthetic building block with a hot-pressed...

Porsche Design | 180 Blue

Porsche Design | 180 Blue

form follows function

An artificially fruity freshness. Synthetic to the max. Without a trace of naturalness. Everything blurs almost unrecognizably in olfactory nirvana. Melozone, Cashmeran, and a diffuse-powdery musky spiciness equally define this linear, penetratingly...

L'Eau de Cologne / Eau Fraîche

L'Eau de Cologne

Christian Tortu

'Eau Fraîche' is a wonderful, slightly modernized, classic cologne. Unobtrusive, softly aromatic, sun-kissed, and very natural in appearance. Less complex than a Kölnisch Wasser, yet - despite its lightness - it feels a bit denser and richer. Like a Mediterranean...

Cartier

L’Heure Chimique in 23 Molecules

I became aware of the fragrance through a podcast, where it was mentioned that 'L’Heure Perdue' is made without a single natural ingredient. I found this conceptually very exciting, given the rather conservative orientation of the traditional...

Bergamood

Bergamood

BMW

In the mood for 22 bergamots

Whenever I see bergamot-centered fragrances, I have to test them. Citrus-dominant scents are my absolute comfort zone. Recently, I came across this fragrance from the Bavarian car brand BMW, which I had not previously associated with...

Leaf

Leaf

Jil Sander

I stand in the garden and my mind is out in the world. I am with myself and within myself like rarely before. Like in childhood. ‘Leaf’ is a strong, minty tomato leaf scent. A peculiar, green woodiness. Subtly smoky and faintly reminiscent of boxwood....

II: L'Heure Convoitée

II: L'Heure Convoitée

Cartier

Initially only bitter-citrusy suede. Delicate and sensitive. Elegance through reduction. Like a Bauhaus design piece. What can evoke a feeling of monotony for some, perhaps even loneliness, a withdrawal from the world, allows others to breathe. It gives...

Figue Blanche

Versace

I am captivated by this fragrance. Enveloped and delighted. A chance encounter from Manchester that stays. Just as I was "kidnapped" by this scent, the term "captive" has another, perfume-specific meaning. I first encountered it in an interview with perfumer...

Cartier

Grenadine Freedom

Unusual. Unique. Wearable. High-quality. Composed. These are the fragrances from Cartier's 'Les Heures' collection. And little known. I can only speculate on why this is, given that they combine so many qualities sought after in niche perfumes....
