During my off-hours from Fragrantica, I moonlight as a wine tasting attendant in the tasting room of a local Cooper's Hawk restaurant. Cooper's Hawk Romance Red Candle is the candle I've been burning the most over the past couple of months. It features notes of basmati rice, strawberry jam, and goji berry.

At the upcoming Esxence 2023 exhibition, the French tea and perfume house State of Mind will present a new fragrance that celebrates "a mischievous wayof being happy." Fanfarone Italiano is a coffee fragrance for a life full of passion. You could say that for State of Mind this launch is a real revolution. Previously, their attention was focused on the timeless traditional tea ceremony, which has suddenly been joined by the rebellious coffee experience.

Dzintars, Advertising, 1991. I remember my first encounter with Dzintars Prestižs so clearly, as if it had happened yesterday rather than 35 years ago. I was so impressed by the design of the perfume, even though I didn't look at it for more than a minute. A friend of my parents was choosing a gift for his wife on some important date, and my mother helped him pick out something.
