Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel This fragrance has an amazing duration, it ain't a barber shop fragrance, it is a cedar and violets fragrance that gets a dynamic profile from fresh peppery galbanum. Don't get scared by the bergamot, petigrain and neroli they are not harsh or too acidic. Do not fear the flowers in it for they are so well balanced. Not too powdery either. This...

for every income and every taste. To preface this, I must say I'm a little difficult when it comes to fresh fragrances: I tend to prefer heavier scents that make a statement, and I am sort of a vintage-style scents lover. I profoundly dislike cardamom, lemon is a no-no, and lavender usually is too masculine for me. I prefer floral, musky scents with the occasional citrus kick, but I avoid the usual...

possibly design another animal in the future what would be your choice? I'd love to create a reindeer, not some Christmas pastiche but the real thing, living in Lapland, grazing on Nordic berries and lichen. I have a reindeer herding dog, so it would be thematically satisfying for that reason, too.Thank you Pia for taking the time to explain this fragrance, which truly became a loyal companion...

own freedom I decided to write this article about three masterpieces which you cannot buy anymore as the fragrances were disrupted. We do not known why designers disrupt perfumes. It is a to tragedy for perfume lovers.Do they disrupt fragrances to promote newer staff? Is the cost of the perfume too high? to carry on? Did the brand get sold to a luxury group and whose decision was it to disrupt the prrfume?...

one of the original formulations of Love Spell by Victoria's Secret Like many Y2K teenagers, I couldn't get enough of "Love Spell (Eau de Toilette) | Victoria's Secret" - the flirty combination of peach + cherry blossom had me in a chokehold (sometimes literally, if I sprayed too liberally after gym class). I eventually forgot about this fragrance, but rediscovered...

side of myself, and forgot to invest time in this creative + worthwhile expression. In an attempt to find a very-missed discontinued perfume, I turned again to the world of fragrance in order to obtain a bottle - and found so much meaning in exploring other areas of memories and fragrance, too. Since nostalgia is a comforting getaway from the "daily grind" of adulthood, here are a few fragrances...

know I had to get Dior sauvage EDP… Eventually I began to dive into deeper darker fragrances. It was curiosity mostly, I wanted to understand why people enjoyed smelling like leather or tobacco. The mistakes I made along the way were bad. I started out with a knock off of Ombre Leather from Tom Ford which is a true masterpiece of a fragrance. I bought the Maison Al Hambra version Amber Leather. I tried...

Autumn Apples) - but since I've been hunting for a deliciously-sweet lilac-forward fragrance profile, here are a few from the latest round of gourmand lilacs. DISLIKED: 💔 1. "French Lilac (Perfume) | Pacifica"  Many consider this their "holy grail lilac solinote" - but it had far too much greenery, and not enough sweetness, for my own liking. To me this isn't just the lilac flower, but is also...

In this combination, the clary sage and pineapple notes from Brown are heightened. They call to the oakmoss, patchouli and leather in Velvet Oud coming together to form a new fragrance. Perfect for a long day spent in my home office. I tend to apply Brown on skin after moisturising, and then I top-up sprays with Velvet Oud on my clothing throughout...

I sprayed once on my left wrist and found out that this was not synthetic , was very fresh, projected well and not loud of course it was very well balanced and it was a feminine perfume. It lasted well too for about 4 hours in a rather warm season, beginning of October in Tangier the weather...
