I find Rock River Melody (what a lovely name) to be a special and unique perfume! Vintage-inspired, yet very modern and innovative. The use of Galbanum (and in abundance) in this fragrance is very modern and unlike any vintage scent....

“When I showed up at the airport two days ago, my husband waited down the escalator with this big smile on his face. I was incredibly happy that he was there because he didn't have to come. I was not expecting him to. It was a late flight, and he gets...

Finally, the time has come. Elisire presents its two new fragrances. Desired and Oderose! They dance out of line. Or maybe not. When looking at the Elisire collection, it originally consisted of five prismatic fragrances presented in equally prismatic...

I ordered Issara blind, as I was in search of a quasi-creamy fougere. Judging by the notes, it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Pine, herbs, vetiver in the base, musk, and described in so many international blogs as a fougere...

Elisire. I let the name linger on my tongue again and again. A versatile, innovative perfume brand with truly wonderful scents. Poudre Desir is my personal favorite from the Elisire collection. A truly wonderful iris scent. How could it be otherwise...

Blue Lotus is a very complex amber-like scent that is completely different from anything one might imagine under this fragrance category. But actually, it is much more than that. Teone Reinthal, who offers her beautiful creations...

Ensar Oud is truly the Sultan of Ouds. Nowhere in the world can you find purer, higher quality, and more beautiful Oud than from Ensar. This is not just a personal opinion but the widely known opinion of people who are knowledgeable in this...

I stand in the middle of the forest. In a clearing filled with sunlight. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and feel one with nature, with everything that surrounds me, and I am filled with peace and bliss. I inhale the scent of the fir trees,...

I received Golden Hemisphere as a sample in a beautiful fragrance swap, along with the other two scents from Wild Eden. As part of my iris testing marathon over the past few weeks, I had added it to the iris test list and was very...
