Missionary Position Secrets: Pleasure, Power, and Psychology
We all change positions in sex thinking this one hits different, but every position carries its own secret language — body to body, without a single word. Let’s start with the classic: missionary. When a man is inside a woman in missionary, there’s more going on than just penetration. For her, it can be a moment of surrender — yes, put your weight on me, crush me, I’m tired of carrying my own weight through the world, so let me give in to yours.
Eyes are sexual
Most of the time, my eyes are curated. I look where I want to look — pretty coffee foam, late-afternoon sun on brick walls, the exact right shade of lipstick in a stranger’s hand. My gaze is selective, like a camera lens, choosing what deserves to be in focus. But then you looked at me. And I caught you. Not the casual, passing glance of social politeness, but the kind that grips. The kind that unties something.
News From The Prague-Based House of Pigmentarium
Frenchman Théo Belmas became the new perfumer of Pigmentarium in January 2023. Despite his high professional erudition, which includes a bachelor's degree in molecular chemistry, a master's degree in perfumery, an internship in Grasse followed by work at Concept Aromatique and Symrise, his commitment to Pigmentarium is mainly due to his strong alignment with the brand's values and his personal harmony with the Prague team, which has been built gradually over the past year.
Boy Smells Les: Peony Made Metallic
Boy Smells' Sephora exclusive Les was briefed as "a well-balanced ripe and raw fragrance. Ripe is sweet fruit, gushing pomelo and budding peony blossom. Raw is bare cedarwood and warm vanilla absolute … Spray and be transported to a maximalist Canal Street daydream". It's a different composition to the companion candle of the same name that showcases fruitiness through blackcurrant and jammy rose. Les Eau de Parfum removes the berry and adds pink pepper, pomelo, and moss.

BeautyWorld Middle East 2022: Oud Collection by CPL Aromas ~ Columns ~ Fragrantica
I started my review of the CPL Aromas space at BeautyWorld Middle East 2022 in the first article about this company. At the exhibition, I briefly sampled only a couple of the five Oud Collection fragrances, which served as a real magnet for local visitors passing by. However, CPL Aromas has found a way to send samples of this collection for my review, and I am sincerely grateful to all the staff of the company who made this possible.
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina: Honeysuckle Tea Sweetened With Marmalade
There are aspects of Aerin's new Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina that feel straight out of the Jo Malone London playbook, specifically borrowing from the marmalade-inspired limited edition Orange Peel. Both scents balance dense, heavy, jammy sweetness with high-impact bitterness to mimic the mouthfeel and flavor of marmalade – gelatinous and smooth going down the tongue, with sweet-and-sour zing on its tip.

Green, Red, Sweet & Sour Apples in Perfumes ~ Raw Materials ~ Fragrantica
People have always loved eating apples. At European sites of Neolithic human settlements (~ 10,000 BC), charred remains of apple trees are found. But the domestication of apples most likely began in the territory now south of Kazakhstan (the largest city in Kazakhstan and formerly its capital, Almaty, is translated as apple). In southeastern Kazakhstan, the wild ancestor of the well-known domestic apple tree (lat. Mālus domestica) is still found. It is the Sievers apple tree (lat. Mālus sieversii).
Bobbi Brown Beach: The Scent of Winter Sun
As many have pointed out before me, Bobbi Brown’s Beach carries close similarities to Bond No 9's Fire Island. Both are inspired by the beachside aroma of sunscreen, their principal commonality being the fleshy-white-flower x coconut-banana-musk signature that has come to define UVA protection for the last 70 years. Beach, in contrast to Fire Island’s tuberose lead, which is milky and thick, is fresher, saltier, and fuzzier in complexion.
Yu Sōn ALTAIA: A Calm Look
The fragrances of the niche brand Eau D'Italie are no doubt familiar to our readers. They have a truly Italian character: If the creators of Eau D'Italie take on citruses, flowers and fruits, then the result is the embodiment of dolchevita. The brand's leather is Florentine of the finest dressing, and their gourmand is like colorful macarons, without complex action-packed moves, but utterly entertaining. The brand has its own image, and it seems to be liked all over the world.
DS & Durga Pistachio: Can Dark Green Also Smell Creamy? ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
The limited-edition Pistachio from DS & Durga is now part of its permanent line and available to test at Neiman Marcus. It’s a thriller! Starting out closer to mint chocolate chip ice cream, Pistachio ends with the aroma of dark green (shadowed autumn leaves and mud-sodden grass) with the consistency of powdered sand of the thinnest grade.
