Indie classical perfume: Possets
you may ask? Well, I would describe an abstract perfume as a fragrance that isn't trying to imitate real-life smells, but to create something completely new that is more than the sum of its parts. Solinotes or hyperrealistic perfumes are not abstract perfumes, for instance. Also, abstraction is a spectrum, not a binary quality, says a_lang_face in this very informative Reddit post. The user also...

The Dirty Dozen...
stunning when they're emphasised by the right fragrance. If there was no use for pheromones after all, chances are that evolution would have extinct them a long time ago.Dirty can mean either animalic or sensual amongst other things. It can also mean both. It always depends on which side of the spectrum you're standing at. And if you're not feeling animalic by wearing any of these fragrances, that doesn't mean...

It's my fault but I just don't get it. I have a very selective way of smelling and what I smell is not always the entire spectrum of the composition. Lavender for instance tends to pass by my nose unnoticed. It is not that I do not smell...

The Limits of the Fragrance Wheel
is the effect created when three specific things interact. You've reached a limit of the 'object' model. It doesn't allow for the interaction of mixing and therefore excludes the outcome of synergy.One inherent problem with the wheel is that it posits that aromas are experienced like colors in the spectrum of light. The 'geography' of the wheel says that notes blend into each other the way light...

How to tame a sa(u)vage...
filmed in 1967, when he was 32. And in any case, what has Alain Delon got to do with all these blabber about rebelliousness and revolutions? From what I know the guy has bodyguards since the late '60s and his political views were always flirting with the far-right side of the politics spectrum. I'm by no means judging him, I'm just saying. Oh, and he's filthy rich too. Not exactly a rebellious attitude,...

How I got scar(r)ed for life...
some widely distributed and much better made fragrances like the iconic 4711, which could be found even in grocery shops, and it was worn by men, women and children alike. Like an early concept of a family fragrance, which still remains the only one I know. And on the opposite side of the spectrum were fragrances like Drakkar Noir and Poison. And that was all... There was no middle-of-the-road....
