Gucci Guilty Absolute
recently got into fragrances when a friend of mine purchased a bottle of Pineapple Vintage Intense for me November 2022. After I received that bottle I was getting so many compliments and it took me back to when I was 13 and my friends and I were wearing things like Polo Sport, Nautica Competition, the original Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, and my favorite Hugo Boss. I love how fragrances are like benchmarks...

Lessons for my novice self
because of aromachemical reasons that are, again, beyond the scope of this blog post, Parfums/Extraits are not always better performing than EdPs, and EdPs are not always better performing than EdTs. I've always had a good example of this for an EdT that is very good in its performance, namely, "Polo (Eau de Toilette) | Ralph Lauren", which is longer-lasting than most designer EdPs and many designer...

Indie classical perfume: Possets
animalic musk, or maybe something in between? Well, you need to experience this scent to be able to understand. Now, my favourite abstract from the pack: Dangerous Oil. The description says: Six musks from blackest black up through a rare and gorgeous in itself purple/blue musk hybrid. A good jolt of labdanum and an edge of cognac. The heart note is an entire chypre made only for this project...

Am I a Niche Snob?
like the designer world is becoming. There are so many unique and beautiful masterpieces to uncover.Now, I'm not a snob in the sense that I'm better than anyone else for being interested in niche perfumery, and I still appreciate many designer fragrances like Dior Sauvage Elixir and Ralph Lauren Polo Cologne Intense, but I seriously think that the artistic integrity of many designer brands has been completely...

Three Favourite Noses, Part 1: Anne Flipo
Absolu (photo © Lempi) The fragrance was ridiculously expensive. Then I found out that it was actually Anne Flipo's creation. That was it. I decided to spend my all extra money on a blind buy. I was thinking that us depressed people could do even crazier things in order to cheer ourselves up so YOLO and go and press that purchase button girl! 😅💸 And I wasn't disappointed - on the contrary...

My Love is Like a Red Red Rose
may prefer Rose Aria by Heeley. This is a 2021 iteration of the garden rose, which has saffron and sandalwood - and much less rose. Woody amber and a powdery veil give a languid roundness to this sour green rose-on-a-stem, and so - although it’s called Aria - it's more an ensemble than a solo. It's not really a garden rose any more. From Rose Aria we next go back in time to a perfume...

Door Sausage
my mind, I thought I could never despise a scent more than I despise 1 million yet miracles so happen. I myself have owned a bottle of this god forsaken ambroxan infused cat urine. 3 constants of this universe; Death Taxes Every guy in his 20’s within a 2 Km radius of a Ralph Lauren polo will wear this biblical mistake. No hate to anyone who wears this scent and enjoys it, each to his/her own. Just wish I didn’t...
