The Magic of Love: The New Eau de Parfum "Philtre" by Hiram Green
woody notes of clove and resins with intense, floral-sweet accords of garden carnation, jasmine and rose. A stem note lends the composition a refreshing, green lightness, rounded off by the sweet and creamy tones of vanilla. The creation draws its inspiration from the love potion in the medieval saga "Tristan and Isolde" - a story of love, passion and tragedy....

Are Feminines Becoming More Masculine?
and Z-14 After this, there was - in Luca Turin's words - a resetting, when the whole pile of perfume plates crashed to the floor. Both sides of the perfume aisle settled into aquatic calm for a while, but with the advent of the Spiky Woods in the mid teenies, masculine perfume went into 'roid rage, cue Invictus, Bleu and Sauvage. Suddenly the guy side had gone berserk and was shouting down...

CHAPTER No.2, The Saga Continues
About two years ago, in 2021, ZARA launched the first men’s collection for spring-summer, known as CHAPTER No.1, made up of four different fragrances, all fresh but apparently without a common thread. Instead, a few weeks ago, ZARA launched four new fragrances whose common theme is surfing, and famous surfing spots inspired the name of the fragrances. Three of these fragrances are blatantly...

And I'm Never Going Back to My Old School Said Steely Dan
look was just a physical manifestation of this internal complexity. For this, I actually loved the early- to mid-1990s.One thing I added to my adaptation of the kinderwhore look/culture was perfume. Tresor, Sunflowers, Escape and other stone fruit and melon-based perfumes were all the rage during this time. Every girl in my high school wore these. I didn't want to smell...

Intuitively Obvious to the Casual Nose - White Florals
stink, but in the right hands they elevate.I don't think this realization would have had the same significance if I'd read about white floral accords first, then gone in search of them. In future installments of "Intuitively Obvious to the Casual Nose," I'll report new landmarks in the on-going saga: Former Human Canary ScentFan's Self-education in Perfume...

Just a "g" or "b" away...
people have to bash many old things and reject them without bothering to evaluate the true stature they once held? I listen to Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. "Bah, old man's stuff!" I wear Azzaro pour Homme and Eucris. "Nah, fumes for relics!" The fact that I also listen to Lady Gaga and wear Dirty English (whose "dirtiness" is widely accepted as a fresh take on "dirty", coming from 2008) as well, doesn't...

Scented Smoke
Smoking hookah (shisha, narguile, etc.) has become all the rage in America but of course it has been a staple in the Middle East for generations. The sweet tobacco can be customized with various flavors and having the smoke filtered through liquid creates an incredibly smooth smoking experience. (photo via healthxchange.com) ... ...

A Scent for All Seasons
and pleasant enough for a hot summer afternoon spent at home. Going into my bathroom cabinet made me realize that using Pomegranate Noir scent around the house could be very creative. I washed my hands with the shower gel instead of hand soap; I applied some of the liquid perfume to a dust rag to scent the rooms; I poured some bath oil on some old pinecones in a basket beside the fireplace. The smell was comforting...

Perfume Likened to Second-Hand Smoking in China
at prices nearly twice what they are in Europe. We have poorly stocked upmarket brand corners in several large department stores around town. The marketing strategy of choice there seems to be either - and I quote - "don't buy Shalimar, it stinks, buy *whatever pedestrian frag is all the rage among ditzes now*, it's our best seller", or "this is really expensive, she is going to love...
