Boss Bottled Pacific Perfume Review
The Boss brand’s latest release is an “Elixir” and it’s done by one of my favourite perfumers: Annick Menardo (although Fragrantica lists this as a collaboration with Suzy Le Helley). This Elixir is a dry crisp scent. It opens with … 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
Shalimar Season
When a perfume you know is more comforting than one you don’t… turning from a sea of samples today I picked Shalimar. This is the edp, maybe not my favourite version but it has grown on me. It’s more leathery … Continue reading
Prada Candy – Benzoin for the Masses
Keeping things simple with Prada Candy. Caramel and musks, benzoin disguised as a kids’ perfume, Prada doing what Prada does best which is giving us kitsch and whimsy and then making us like it. Prada seems to be not as … Continue reading
Shalimar Millisime Iris Review

I almost didn’t feel like myself putting on this 80’s style chypre. It’s been a while since I’ve worn Sisley Eau de 2 because I’ve been leaning into my cozier perfumes more, and really wearing my samples a lot. This … Continue reading
Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 Perfume Review
The road is not straight, it’s twisty, turny, and sometimes there are cliffs, except they only feel like cliffs, so you squeeze your eyes shut and hope to not feel anything, but then you land on your feet and can … Continue reading
Fig Perfumes in My Collection
The new #Dioriviera beside #Philosykos edt. Really more than enough of the fig note for me, and I’m finding both of these to be similar. The Dior fig feels rounder and warmer, the Diptyque more fruity. But they’re both green and summery and wearable.
Frederic Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur Perfume Review
Even I’m surprised that I like a perfume that smells like minty herbal mouthwash, but it’s 25 degrees today and I went for a walk outside so Geranium Pour Monsieur is perfect. This is as close to kitsch that Frederic … Continue reading
