Secretive and Sanctioned: Fragrances in North Korea
Moving on. Ryugyong - 류경 Produced in the Ryugyong Rose Processing Factory. Image of Ryugyong flacons from Uriminzokkiri (via Wayback Machine). Some more products called "Perfume". The notes of all three are probably the same, as the factory's job is to process roses. A difference in the colours of liquid and writing on the labels could be pointing to a variation in concentration....

Hiking in the Nature with My Seasonal Fragrance Rotation Bottles
at Nuottaniemi cape in Helsinki, Finland. People ask me very often if the backgrounds of my perfume photos have been photoshopped. I'm an old school photographer and I have no idea how Photoshop even works, the only thing I use for editing is Lightroom to crop, straighten and adjust the light and colours. I love the idea how all landscapes, objects, reflections,...

The Slants
ZARA had already released a series dedicated to the oud (e.g. Bohemian, Perpetual, Hipster, and Endless Oud) among the women’s lines. Hence, the result has been available for a few days at the ZARA stores among the men’s lines, four black boxes that enclose a minimal squared bottle, in a blue colour between Navy and Royal, refillable, with a larger cap than those used in the recent series Fragrances and polygonal...

Nothing Is Not Nothing, Nothing Is Something
Beckham Eau De Parfum Collection In recent days, I could seriously try all the fragrances from the David Beckham Long-Lasting collection that I bought. They are all unique; none look like the other. A bit like the brothers and sisters of a family, each with its own character, colours, strengths and weaknesses. They are all here in front of me on the desk. I observe them while the dim light...

The one that got away: decisions and decluttering
you from acquiring the perfume when you could, or decluttering it from your collection, when you (s)he was yours? Additionally, have you attempted to reunite the broken mirror by rebuying the fragrance you decluttered? I'm an odd sort, on the one hand I find that the angst of regret adds colour to my collecting journey, and on the other hand I question if nostalgia will...

Somebody that I used to know: to rebuy or to move on
5-year old Lotte, being a woman meant applying an Oscar de la Renta perfume to your pulse point, touching up your makeup with an Elizabeth Arden face compact puff, and matching the colour of your boxy leather handbag to pointy leather shoes. To those born in the 80-90s this description might not come as a surprise. It was no wonder that when I flounced off to University, the first...

ZARA Fragrance Series N° 01
the perfumes seem well made, and a more or less famous master perfumer created and signed each of them. The four scents in question are, in no particular order, Magnificent Black, Imperial Purple, Majestic Green, and Regal White. By practising and reviewing them, I tried to make sense of each colour, perhaps drawing inspiration from the most dominant chord. I want to share my emotions with you, and with...

ZARA Fragrance Series N° 02
identified the first time around. But the fragrance is the same; you’re not wrong. It just grows following a different path; the notes follow one another randomly, never the same. Well, this is happening to me with the new ZARA perfumes, both from the N° 01 SERIES with a black box dedicated to colours with noble adjectives and from the N° 02 SERIES with a white box dedicated to desert landscapes....
