I see that some of you are interested in finding Micallef perfumes on the net. There is still a lot to discover by Micallef rsp. their house perfumer Jean Claude Astier that is a bit off the beaten track. Geoffrey Nejman has apparently been busy over the years touring Europe and keeping a good contact to their business customers. Besides the perfumes that you find on their site Micallef is offering a "Private...

After the disaster with the "Pomelos" No. 21 imitation, I am still a believer concerning the true perfumes of this great house. Apicius mentioned that a refill does not go with the image of this maker of luxury items. Luxury is single, is special, is rare ... the item is coveted. This link shows a video of the makers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OuXyqvW-fs Now on my list is the delicious scent...

How can one host a small perfume fair especially for Germany just 3 weeks before the big Esxence in Milan? The date isn't that bad after all. One or the other new perfume that is to be officially launched at Esxence can already be spotted today in Düsseldorf – even if not all flacon labels have been produced in time. So, here is my quick personal account of this Pre-Esxence...

After the info popup we now roll out the Fragrance Notes Directory. You can find it on the home page and under „Discover“ a bit later. Currently, Parfumo knows about 7000 fragrance notes.

There are only few shops in my country with original Arab perfume oils - and suddenly, there is somebody who creates his own fragrances in that tradition. In the end, we had a long talk in a street café, and we only left in the evening after the waiters had started to close the place. Apicius: Thank you, Musab, for your time. Please explain to us what E99-EsAns is all about. U.M. Karali:...

What's up with Parfumo? You cannot eat your cake and have it! Although I try to inform the international Parfumo users about important changes or developments at the same time as the German speaking users, this time I had to focus on the German users first. Sorry for that! A few days ago, I posted a long blog article about the (possible) future of Parfumo on the German site, and I received lots of attention...
