Formosa Perfume Inspired by Taiwan
Taiwan-born Shining Sung, whose family owns Taiwan’s Chi Mei Museum, launches her first fragrance, Formosa, at Bergdorf’s (New York City). “Taiwan is such a unique country; besides my love for Taiwan itself, the timing of the launch is more meaningful considering the precarious situation the country is in,” said Sung.

Ungaro pour L'Homme: Ungaro's First Masculine Fragrance
Emanuel Ungaro was destined to become a designer. Italian by birth, rooted in the south of France. His father, a tailor, passed down his skills and gave him a sewing machine. He worked and studied in the best Parisian ateliers, Balenciaga and Courreges; after such a path, chances are you'll become a designer. Emanuel Ungaro's clothing collections stood out for their excessive brightness and bold combination of different colors - probably, his Italian blood made itself felt.

Anne Klein II: Lost But Not Impossible To Find
When I was in Miami last year, I did something I love to do when I am abroad, especially in the US: Go to outlet stores like Marshalls, TJMaxx, and Ross. Here, there's a treasure hunt everyday, and when you are a perfume lover, chances are that you will find something vintage you had never found before at a very good price. That's exactly what happened with my Anne Klein II.
Maison Mugham: Perfumes and Melodies of Azerbaijan
The new Azerbaijani perfume brand Maison Mugham, founded in 2020, was presented at the niche perfume exhibition Esxence '22 in Milan. Its founder, Eliza Akhundova, was a perfume connoisseur and collector for a long time before she decided, together with Mahmud Aliyev, to create an own brand with a national flavor.
Infusion Velours OJAR: Oud in a Patisserie
The Omani perfume brand OJAR was founded by a well-known entrepreneur in the country, Sheikha Hind Bahwan (Bahwan CyberTec Group, dt360), and this is a new business for her that gives her the opportunity to talk about the traditions and culture of her native country. She grew up in the port city of Sur, where sailboats have long been built to trade in spices, oud and incense.
Pitti Fragranze 2022: Review of Antonio Alessandria Fragrances

Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum: A Story of Ice & Fire ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
Tobacco Vanille has arguably been the scent that embodied Tom Ford's values more than any other for the brand. Rich, sensual, mysterious, opulent, and sleek, Tobacco Vanille defined for many what luxury perfumery meant in the last decade.

Chant d'Arômes Guerlain: Celebrating Its 60th Anniversary!
One of the lesser-known Guerlain fragrances, Chant d'Arômes, this year celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of its entry into the market. For 60 years, the fragrance has not become a symbol of the House of Guerlain, like Mitsouko; it has not become the progenitor of a new genre, like Shalimar; or one of the best fragrances of the house, like Derby or Chamade. Modesty decorates, of course, but it does not add popularity. I propose to remember this fragrance.
A Joy to Bake, a Pleasure to Share
When I'm anxious or sad, I cook. Of all the activities to engage in at home, this is my favorite. And most of all, I like baking bread or pies: the house is filled with such wonderful aromas! And then another pleasure: to treat others! When I bake, I relax. At least for a while, I close off sources of anxiety, allowing the aroma of cakes to have a calming effect on me.
Eilish No.2 – New Fragrance by Billie Eilish and Parlux ~ Fragrance News ~ Fragrantica
Billie Eilish and Parlux launch a second fragrance, Eilish No.2, based on the original Eilish. According to Billie Eilish, Eilish No.2 is darker and more mysterious, it is a "dark gray, metallic-y, metal, silver color.” Eilish No.2 "opens with the freshness of Italian bergamot and apple blossom. It flows into a woody, earthy spiciness of papyrus and black pepper with a contrast of wild wet poppy flowers.
Areej Le Doré: More From the Artist of Rarity
Areej le Doré, the artisan perfume house known for its intense fragrances created by perfumer Russian Adam (who currently resides in Indonesia) has released fragrances during the past year that have been notable for their work as collaborations. With the fragrance Civet de Nuit, he and UK-based perfumer Sultan Pasha have created an other worldly concoction of heliotrope, night's jasmine, and antique civet that burns like a glowing lantern deep into a sultry tropical night.
Ralph Lauren Ralph's Club Parfum
In a huge, trendy wave of "parfum" editions that promises high intensity, great sillage, or longevity, here is a new launch to gather the parfum crew. After the success of Ralph's Club Eau de Parfum, launched in 2021, the newest creation arrives in a higher concentration, as the Parfum. It is not the only parfum edition of this brand in 2022, we had a chance to try Polo Blue Parfum, also presented in 2022.
Cherry Musk Ramon Monegal: White
Musks in perfumery are the most challenging topic for me. I approach each new musk fragrance with extra caution. Of course, even I have my favorite musks: depraved Muscs Koublai Khan Serge Lutens and Musc Tonkin Parfum d'Empire, heavenly Clair de Musc Serge Lutens and Stairway To Heaven Jul et Mad Paris, gallant and luxurious musk fragrances by Nicolai Parfumeur Createur. But more often than not, the musk scares me off.
Pear, Pineapple, Pop Cake: Richard's New Fragrances
The days when fragrances didn't have to smell like a candy store are long gone. After the destroyer of this law, Angel Mugler, was born, the perfume world has clearly grown a preference for the gourmand side. The sweetness of the patisserie has permeated the feminine floral and warm-amber fragrances, and even the austere chypres. Moreover, even the modern masculine fougères definitely carry something sweet in their compositions. Fragrances have a taste now. And the taste is sweet.
Scarlet Rouge Moresque – What's The Color? ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
The new Scarlet Rouge fragrance was launched in the Secret Collection of Italian niche brand Moresque in 2022 and debuted at Esxence 2022 in Milan. My Romanian colleague Iulia Halatz described it in detail in her excellent review, and I do agree with her musings, except for one thing. For me, Scarlet Rouge is not scarlet red at all. And not red-n-gold, as the fragrance legend describes, and as its bright bottle shows.
DS & Durga Bistro Waters: An Exciting Green Pepper Cologne! ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
As colognes go, DS & Durga's new Bistro Waters is as exciting as it gets. As with many of the most successful and widely accepted attempts at scent innovation, its blueprint is remarkably simple but effective, balanced 90% tradition to 10% newness, with that newness carrying bold and transformative properties.
Tiba: New Perfume by Nilafar du Nil ~ Fragrance Reviews ~ Fragrantica
The Pareto law, if applied to the perfume industry, might sound like this: 20% of brands give 80% of the shop profit. This means that each perfume shop owner finds that 20% by experience and makes money from it, leaving the remaining 80% as a net to find even more successful brands (and also provides a lot of fun from discussions with curious customers).
Rammstein Strikes Again: Waidmanns Heill
We had just announced Seemann Intense, a very recent fragrance from the German rock band Rammstein, weeks ago, and we were just surprised that there is another novelty just launched last week. It's called Waidmanns Heil (Good Hunting, in English), and it's a woody animalic fragrance with smells that remind you of the forest. The composition is again signed by French perfumer Alexandre Illan from Symrise. "Waidmanns Heil is an impressive masculine fragrance.
Royal Crown Presents Nizam and Nocturna
From the last edition of the Esxence niche perfume fair, one of the fragrances I kept in my heart was one of the many amazing new green scents I could see coming as a smell trend. But this one was somehow more unique and even hard to define. I am talking about Nizam, by the Italian house of Royal Crown, and composed by perfumer Antonio Visconti.
Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum
In the summer of 2022, Tom Ford is launching a new fragrance within the Noir line, named Noir Extreme Parfum. The new fragrance represents a take on the ambery, woody gourmand Tom Ford Noir Extreme from 2015, as the most prominent one in the line. Announced as an intensification of the original Noir Extreme, Noir Extreme Parfum is to bring a heightened concentration of spicy cardamom, spiked with the warmth of Shimoga ginger, and the rich sensuality of tonka bean and guaiac wood into the mix.

She has strongly participated in building the content as a perfume connoisseur and writer and has been responsible for the majority of the articles and encyclopedia records at Fragrantica, while nurturing communication with the brands.
La Perla My Day: Buttery Iris Draped in Diaphanous Carrot Seed
With a vintage personality, almost burlesque in its slow reveal of contrasting textures and temperatures, interplaying hot against cold, smooth against rough, and cheeky against serious, La Perla’s My Day is a sensual iris scent laden with supporting flowers and spices for an ultra-buttery, suede-soft finish.
Relaunch of Fine Fragrance Brand Phlur, Plus a New Fragrance: Missing Person

CONSTANTINOPLE by PENHALIGON’S: We Arrive on the Bosphorus Shore One More Time
. . "…The Bosphorus flows from Black Sea to Marmora, as a river twisting out and between the wooded banks of Asia and Europe. On each side the Bithynian and the Thracian downlands soften suddenly as they reach its gentle valley and fringe their crude limbs with pine and ilex, with fig and Judas tree, slipping thence softly to the water's edge. The teeming city at the river's mouth has flung its tentacles along the shores.
ADJIUMI Elevato al Cubo
The Italian fragrance aficionado group ADJIUMI has launched, under the creative direction of Cristian Cavagna, their second perfume, called Elevato al Cubo. The first one was Dolce Q.B., and both of them were composed by the Italian perfumer Arturetto Landi. This time, the new ADJIUMI perfume takes the already sugary notes of the debut fragrance and brings them to more extreme levels of edible notes.
TFWA: New Fragrances by Franck Olivier - Sun Java Blue For Men and Pure Addiction
Franck Olivier is a brand that never fails to deliver wonderful scents with incredible performance for a very small price.

Grand Experiment: 10th Anniversary Edition, by *The* Stalemate
Recorded in the early '00s using software predating Pro Tools and a beer-stained four-track cassette machine, 'Grand Experiment' by RI-based quartet Stalemate was, in the words of one generous reviewer a few years after its release: “…a 14-track masterpiece by the ultimate, slip-shod high school band from your wildest low-fi dreams.“ A few from the carousel of a lineup who recorded this double-LP would go on to become Providence, RI math rock royalty. But yeah, let's go with that?
