Garden of Eden
I tried Wanderlust at the store and had the blotter with me for a few days. I couldn't stop reaching for it every few minutes - the scent was so addicting. I love fig perfumes, but this is not your everyday fig perfume.
I have Philosykos and while Diptyques take is such a nice photorealistic fig tree and fruit perfume Wanderlust smells so lush, green, juicy and luxurious. I imagine that the Garden of Eden would smell like this, green, sweet, fruity and juicy. It smells like you are in a lush overgrown garden filled with ripe fruit, it smells expensive and luxurious and yet nonchalant in a way.
You only need a few sprays of this!

A bottle of feelings
This is the best aquatic fragrance. Period.
Imagine if you could bottle memories and feelings - feelings of summer on the Adriatic, lazy reading books with friends on a stoney beach near a pine forest, the sea and the winds are calm, but the waves hit you with the faintest sprinkles of sea water every now and then. Cicadas are all around you, they are so loud that it's calming, you are invested in your crossword puzzle, and the sun is tingling your skin, and the pine needles on the ground are dried down, dark brown.
You don't know what day it is, and for that matter you don't want to know, it doesn't matter, this is an endless vacation.
It turns out you can bottle that feeling - it Acqua di Sale.

Deliciously forgettable
There's not much to say here other than that this is quite possibly one of the best and most delicious niche fragrances I've ever tried.
I absolutely love it. I love the gourmandy citrus, the warmth, the smoothness, the sexiness. I love the attention it is getting and the attention it's giving me when I'm wearing it. This is one of my most complimented scents, but people won't just compliment you how good you smell, they will stick their noses in your neck and probably fantasize about sleeping with you (I hope). If you are looking for a signature safe scent - look no further.
But I hate to admit, in the beautiful sea of niche fragrances this one to me is just - forgettable. I love so many niche fragrances, and love coming back to Naxos, but the scent can be a bit overbearing, so I just end up reaching for it less and less. And in the end I think this is so good and so safe - it's boring.

Holiday in Greece you've never been to
This is to me one of the best green fresh scents I've tried - period. If you're a fig lover this is a must summer fragrance.
A few weeks ago I've wen't on a hunt to find the perfect fig perfume, I tried out many of them, because I love the fruit and what it symbolizes, in my opinion it is the perfect symbol of Mediterranean summer and the Adriatic Sea. Many of the ones I tried were really good but this - this was absolutely the best, and as much as I tried the others I always came back to this. A nice warm creamy photorealistic fig fruit and leaf but this, apart from the rest has such a sensual tone to it that I can't explain. It's fresh, creamy, woody, fruity, sensual, nostalgic, expensive.
It's smells like a memory of a summer in Greece, dancing to 80's dance songs with your partner near the beach, underneath ripe fig trees in a linen shirt and wearing Birkenstocks. It feels like a memory but actually it's a wish that you would one day like to experience.
Can't say more, love it.

Glistening saffron
I LOVE this! This might be one of the best saffron perfumes I have tried - here saffron is the main character and presented in a beautiful sparkling way. In the opening you get this beautiful bright, almost glistening spicy saffron and it follows you all the way to the end. In the dry down you get to the, in my opinion, best part of the perfume - the frankincense. I'm a big fan of ambery, incense notes and this one really comes as a surprise after the almost restless saffron.
This one is almost like a metaphor about growing up, the sparkling saffron represents childhood restlessness, and as you grow up you're forced to settle and with age get this calm wisdom.
Crystal Saffron as every other Matierre is a powerhouse and you will definitely be noticed and it will last all day.
