Diptyque Fleur de Peau eau de parfum
Diptyque Fleur de Peau – perfume but make it HR-friendly. A blend of iris and musks. The musk starts like a clean laundry musk, but then the ambrette comes out, and the warmth of your skin makes this feel like … Continue reading
Ledda 19 Vanilla Nera Perfume Review
The latest addition to the Ledda fragrance family: 18 Vanilla Nera. A very sweet vanilla with hints of spice, thanks to a touch of ginger and cardamom. It’s almost as if it’s holiday time and I’m eating a delicious spiced … Continue reading
Dusita Rosarine Perfume Review
It’s a perfume for someone living in Paris who grew up around vintage perfumes but trying to break away from my mom’s perfumes, I’m going indie where the ingredients are pricy and the formulas are heftier. It’s like moving out … Continue reading
Ambre Sultan Perfume Review
Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens today. It makes me think of virile strength, a man breaking his way through a dry jungle, tree branches snapping, dusty earth under his feet, the snapping of dry leaves that crumble in your hands. … Continue reading
Diptyque Benjoin Boheme Perfume Review

Amouage Fate Woman for Diwali
I started doing Diwali perfume picks because I saw the big retailers and mainstream media completely getting it wrong, often picking the trending scent instead of what fit the times. This year’s Diwali pick is Amouage Fate, equally opulent and … Continue reading

Amouage Jubilation 25 Perfume Review
I forgot that I was easing into wearing perfume, and went back to my old habit of doing four sprays first thing in the day – that is, 4 sprays of Amouage Jubilation 25. I forgot how concentrated it is, … Continue reading
