Thomas Kosmala: Floral Brine, Dirty Champagne & Horse Dung! ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
In a bid to attract higher-ticket buyers and elevate its catalogue beyond the everyday, Dillards recently took on Thomas Kosmala in the USA, allowing me my first time to peruse the collection. It’s clever – a mix of high and low, accessible and esoteric, easy-buys and challenging curve balls, giving anyone who approaches the counter something to be interested in. Not everything is worth commenting on.
Splendida Jasmin Noir Bulgari: Gothic Gardenia
Splendida Jasmin Noir Bulgari is my favorite in the Splendida series. The patchouli-peach, powdery Splendida Patchouli Tentation is also good, but it is inferior to Splendida Jasmin Noir Bulgari in both originality and strength of character. But I don't understand why this Bulgari perfume is called Splendida Jasmin Noir: It's not jasmine, it's gardenia! I have no questions about Noir.
PERDRISÂT: A New Perfume Brand From Australia
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of getting to know a new perfume brand called PERDRISÂT. PERDRISÂT is a new Melbourne-based perfume label. It is an independent brand, committing to high quality and small batch production. Every perfume is hand-crafted in Melbourne, Australia, by its founder-perfumer, Callum Rory Mitchell.
Venice Yves Rocher: The First Step
Venice… a city floating on water. The capital of the Venetian winter carnival and luxury hotels. One of the most photographed and probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. An endless source of inspiration for perfume brands and perfumers - just look at how many fragrances and brands are associated with the word Venice or Venezia. Today, I invite you to remember one of the first and very popular fragrances dedicated to Venice - Venice by Yves Rocher.
Pitti Fragranze in Florence, Italy (September 16-18, 2022)
Every year, Pitti Fragranze in Florence gathers numerous brands from artistic perfumery, perfumers, people from the industry, distributors, and stores, as well as journalists eager to interact and learn new things in the perfume world. We eagerly await meetings, trying the latest fragrances and falling in love with some old ones that we may have accidentally skipped to try; we collaborate with brands to provide timely, exclusive information that we are happy to share with our audience.
MiN Magic Circus: Candy Floss and Gasoline for an Astonishing Gourmand
MiN's Magic Circus is seriously weird and fully lives up to its name. On the one hand, aromas of a fairground – wailing of childhood nostalgia and carefree play.
The New Scents of Wood Fragrances
Even though the brand Scents of Woods already counted 21 fragrances in our database when I looked them up, I only recently found out about them when I read about their latest edition, Pine in Acacia. I had a look at the brand's website and noticed many other editions had been added over the past months. Time to shed some light on this beautiful line! "Scents of Wood is a journey into the magical mysteries of forests and trees," explains the brand.
Guerlain Shalimar Millésime Tonka
Guerlain will launch a limited edition of the iconic Shalimar fragrance in October 2022. The new version, Shalimar Millésime Tonka, comes after last year's Shalimar Millésime Vanilla Planifolia and the Shalimar Philtre de Parfum version from 2020. The new fragrance will be released as a tribute to tonka bean, which is one of Guerlain's favorite materials. Bitter almond and bergamot make the ambery scent stand out in the top note.
Muelhens Rheingold: The Gold of the Rhine
Like many educated people of their time, the Muelhens loved music, so it is not surprising that at least two fragrances of their perfume brand were dedicated to opera. The first of them, Tosca, was destined for a long life and wide popularity, but now only specialists know about the second - this is Rheingold, named after Richard Wagner's opera "The Rhinegold", the first of the Ring of the Nibelung cycle.
Libre Eau de Toilette: Jasmine tea, Linden blossom and Invisible Doors
Yves Saint Laurent surprised me once again. It is not very common that a successful flanker comes out after a successful original. But for the second flanker to be just as good as, and different from the previous is truly a stroke of rare luck. Libre and Libre Intense appear to be exactly that – a successful perfume and a no less successful flanker.
