So far, I couldn't find any love in the repertoire of Jo Malone. Maybe that will change now. But let's start from the beginning: The opening is surprisingly fruity: A ripe, juicy apricot (not artificial or too sweet) provides a lively freshness, complemented...

… in the eternity, in which one lingers between two flights, the most beautiful thing is when you get to test fragrances. This way, I was able to sniff through the current repertoire of L’Artisan Parfumeur. The three listed fragrance...

I am very pleased with this fragrance. I stumbled upon Orange & Bergamot by chance, and until then, I had no idea that I had missed this powdery, slightly creamy orange scent. The top note starts off somewhat overwhelming with bergamot and orange....

A warm summer evening. An elegant woman in a flowing silk dress, surrounded by a gentle light that makes her skin appear like ivory. Behind her, a garden bathed in the light of the setting sun - tuberoses slowly open, their sweet,...

What an extraordinary aquatic molecular fragrance. Modern, delicate, yet opulent and playful. The combination of water jasmine, melon, and iris was already a poetic and bold mix in my imagination. The cashmere wood, pink pepper, and vetiver give it a green,...

For some time now, I've been dancing around this fragrance. The second bottle is almost finished, and today I finally had a picture in my mind. I see a beautiful, well-groomed lady (sandalwood, iris, vanilla) swaying back and forth to Cuban,...

Caudalie has released a perfume? Already in 2023? And I only find out about it by chance 2 years later. But well, everyone (maybe even I too much) is so busy with the latest cherry, tonka, and sesame scents and the coolest niche brands. Good for us, you Ange...

Rarely has a top note overwhelmed me so much. So much blood orange, bitter, zesty accords, I briefly thought: Damn, you can forget this scent, this bitter thing won't enrich your life. How wrong was I?! After five minutes, a truly extraordinary...

… I know, it’s presumptuous. Of course, no fragrance can replace meditation. Xi'an is a fine and balanced creation. It is a sandalwood scent without being a sandalwood scent. Delicately bitter, freshened by the rhubarb,...

It is an Eau Fraîche, don’t expect any scent development or insane longevity and projection. It is one of my "master zen scents." No matter what is going on, whatever troubles my mind, you spray it around you and immediately every...
