A few that will never get cut – my L’Artisan Parfumeur bottles showing up for their #perfumeclasspicture. I discovered the brand ages ago but couldn’t justify getting any at that time, but then it just found me, and I realized that I don’t have to justify perfume that makes me happy.
I think what draws me to these is the simplicity of their structure and the clarity of their notes and a direct message to the heart. All of these have a clear gourmand component that speaks to the foodie in me, but they’re not like the crazy sweet perfumes we have now.
Safran Troublant – ras malai with rose water. Refreshing and sweet.
Dzing! – cotton candy from when you were little, too oblivious to whatever was going on around you.
Traversee any Bosphore – Turkish delight in a bottle.
Coeur a Vetiver Sacree – iced tea before it was trendy.
L’eau D’Ambre Extrème – cardamom crystallized in candy form.
Tell me if you’ve got a favourite.
