Just as it can be said about Naples that people either love it very much or even hate it, the same can be said about this Italian woman and her specific perfumes. Walking through that city I see that Elena Ferrante faithfully described it as a busy and at the same time a little neglected city, the Dark side is a temperamental perfume like this city, amber, potent and at the same time fragile, brings happiness and makes you smile I want to say that you really have to know how to handle it, beautiful....

An extremely original fragrance, just like the peculiar and unique Tilda Swinton herself, with whom this fragrance was created. Supposedly inspired by the smell of her greenhouse, which always reminds her of being back home. It can't be neatly classified into any one category, it flirts with spicy, green and sweet...something in between. Perfect for autumn, especially October, which is also the month of pumpkins, it is truly the most wearable then. It's even refreshing, but it's also feminine. Although it comfortably passes as unisex.

Until now, I was not a big fan of F. Bianchi fragrances, because I simply did not like the specific DNA of her perfumes. However, this is her first perfume that I would wear for several reasons. First of all, it is excellently blended. Secondly, Francesca's typical animal-leather base is not felt to such an extent. It is more feminine, and the iris is expressed through the beautiful orris butter. The rose, which I'm normally not a fan of, is also perfectly blended here in the already well-tried combination with iris, and in one of the stages of the fragrance's development, moss is also felt. Well done, Francesca. I think this fragrance should enter her permanent offer.

It's not a particularly original scent, on the lavender theme I really like Chanel's Jersey, but this one has that caramel twist that makes it worth staying in the collection. As the name itself says, "brilliantly British", the brand faithfully tried to convey a typically British everyday scene through lavender, which is an important and one of the oldest ingredients of British perfumery, and toffee, which should evoke the British tradition of drinking tea with scones. I can't say that I have British associations with this scent, but because of that unexpected twist with caramel, it occupies a special place among lavender-themed scents.

It's as if I'm passing through one of the most beautiful deserts in the world, Wadi Rum, which is otherwise called the valley of the moon, wearing this Amouage I would call it the valley of the stars, because I feel as if I'm a shining star in that desert. The smell is thick, luxurious, perfectly blended. The name suits him perfectly.
