The Difference Between Ingredients, Notes, and Accords
in two different note listings, even though they smell very similar. "Cloud (Eau de Parfum) | Ariana Grande" doesn't share even a single note with BR540 but is almost a dupe for it. Hopefully this is slightly educational for some of you; I know I would have found it very useful a couple of years ago. Let me know in the comments if you have any other insights regarding ingredients,...

Perfume is memories but replicas do not have any!
am writing this article for personal reasons.I lost my mother three years ago at the age of 84 and still remember her young and well dressed and her perfume. She loved heavy florals like madame Rochas or vanilla musky like Jovan. I had done a trip to Morocco in 2017 October and had asked the shop assistant in a perfumery shop in Tangier to assist me in buying a 50ml perfume......

2023 Reflections: My deep delve into the world of perfume
hasn't had much wear since I bought it in the Spring. ❓"Crystal Noir (Eau de Toilette) | Versace" 30ml One of the most confusing perfumes in terms of notes/formulation.

Regarding the price, it is very much amusing how the equivalent of a cheap designer fragrance from 30 years ago was subsequently released to the public as a €210/50ml niche fragrance. There is nothing...

"I Share My Dreams with Ghosts" - Scenting My Two Favourite Rebels
is "The Bug | Lush / Cosmetics To Go". Protest. Unsettling and disjointed, like the official description of the fragrance says. Luthen Rael's sunrise on Scarif. Photo © Lempi. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger,...
