Le Galion L'Astre: Ava Gardner's Perfume
The French perfume house Le Galion originates from the 1930s. It was revived in 2014 when it was bought by Nicolas Chabot. The house has now signed an exclusive license agreement with The Ava Gardner Trust to relaunch L'Astre, a fragrance created for the personal use of the Hollywood actress. During the 1950s, Ava was the ambassador and face of Sortilège, a perfume tribute to extravagant parties and the signature scent of high society during the 1950s.
Witness by Jacques Bogart: A Witness to the 1990s
It was worth waiting for the fragrances with the names Detective, Clue, Colonel, Bandit, Lawyer, and Witness from the French brand Jacques Bogart! The last mentioned, Witness, appeared in the brand's collection in 1992. The names make sense for a brand that borrowed the family name of one of the most courageous actors in Hollywood, who played gangsters and detectives, murderers, and lovers.
Perfumed Horoscope: October 31 - November 6
Jupiter offered two opposing playgrounds to grow and learn this year. One with fireworks and adrenaline-filled activities, and the other, more like a meditative hot spring spa experience. Until the end of the year (as Jupiter returns to Pisces from Oct 28 - Dec 21), we need to go back to early spring '22, and bring back that internal excitement to absorb more in-depth the idea of unions on All levels.

Newer Powerhouses and Our Changing Expectations
Various terms are tossed about to describe the loudest of perfumes (beasts, room-clearers, fog horns, and others much less polite...) Most of us aren't really interested in being smelled from meters away, but some of us like some level of scented projection. But just as fashions change, so do ideas around what makes for "umph"; that hard-to-define impact that comes from statement-making fragrances that aren't subtle, which make a lasting impression, and a potent power.
Dante Collection by Profumo di Firenze Review
It's amazing how hard Italy tries to stick to its roots. Take Florence's perfume brands and we'll see local Florentine lavender, Tuscan leather, Florentine iris, and even local ice cream as initial sparks of inspiration. The new Profumo di Firenze collection is dedicated to Dante Alighieri, the great Italian poet and founder of the literary Italian language - as you know, he comes from Florence.

Venom and Dirty Peach: Richard Maison de Parfum New Perfumes ~ New Fragrances ~ Fragrantica
The Richard Maison de Parfum brand, which seems to specialize in creating affordable replicas of very expensive niche fragrances that have become especially popular, released two new fragrances in February of 2022. They are named Venom and Dirty Peach, names that are likely to spark some controversy. It seems to me that norm-breaking names have more potential on social networks, and therefore they may sell better.

The classic, elegant fragrance for men Terre d'Hermes is based on the harmony of notes of air and notes of earth. It was launched in 2006, developed by Jean-Claude Ellena. In 2022, Terre d'Hermes Eau Givréecomes out as a new flanker that embodies the fragrant freshness of ice. Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée is created by perfumer Christine Nagel. The composition combines the power of citron (aka cedrat) and the penetrating freshness of juniper berries with Timut pepper.
Under the Egyptian Sun: Jardins de la Bargamote
by Sergey Borisov ( 3 comments ) What Egyptian aromas do tourists bring from this country as souvenirs? Usually these are inexpensive copies and clones of popular fragrances in oil form, which can be used to train olfactive memory, or attars on the theme of natural flowers and spices. I had a chance to try some of them, and all that can be said about them is that they smell and last. Everything is simple: Tourists want cheap souvenirs to bring home, and they get them.
