Sisley Izia, one of the gorgeous roses that has a charming effect on me… Ever since the first sniff it stole my heart. I was deliberating wether I need it right here and now in the store and my impulse won. Despite being an impulse buy I don’t regret it. It is as magnificent smelling as it looks. Elegant, artsy, playful, without concrete lines and solid agendas. It flows in the air like a feather and glows in the sunny weather like diamonds catching the light. Fantastic creation by @sisleyparisofficial #luxuryfragrances #smellgreat #fraghead #perfumista #smellgoodfeelgood #instascent #perfumeminiature #instaperfume #chanelperfume #naturalperfume #authenticperfume #nicheperfumery #womanperfume #designerperfumes #perfumeblog #perfumeparadise #perfumeforher #perfumecollections #perfumeauthentic #authenticperfumes #instaperfumes #longlastingperfume #myperfume #fragrancecommunity #fragcomm

It ain’t your average candle… Oh wait yeah it is! Just a random 3,50€ one from the local cheapie store smelling like vanilla pods. It’s nice to play around with things other than perfumes for reels, and I am not quite comfortable with balancing my go-to scented candles by Ex Nihilo for my video experiments yet. If it breaks I’ll cry waxy tears. So today this little cheapie will be burning hard, pulling an all-nighter. Some of my fave brands who make epic candles are tagged in the post. But I’d be happy to know what candle brands are your favorites, or maybe you have any good budget-friendly suggestions? #candlemaker #candlemagick #candelaria #candlelover #candlelight #videographylife #dsdurga #perfectcandle #kilian #creed #roja #fredericmalle #fragrancedubois #xerjoff #exnihilo #diptyque #byredo #essentialparfums #baobab #guerlain #lancome #boysmells #voluspa #yankeecandle #homesick #jomalone #lelabo #trudon #perfumeaholic_official #lobjet

Beautiful leathery addition to my collection. Atelier Materi Cuir Nilam has lured me into its embrace right from the start… The juicy cardamom opening is mouthwatering. It shares a tinge of bitter greens right in the opening but after few seconds it settles down into suede-cardamom union that has some sparkling quality to it, which has surprised me. None of my leathers have ever been this green tinted and zingy at the start. Really fun experience for leathery fragrance addict. As the trajectory of the scent progresses it hits that one familiar note that many have found delicious in the past. Dark, rough, some may say rather masculine blend of birch tar and resins. It has the feel of one of the most well known leathers to date, Cuir de Russie by Guerlain, but it is definitely dressed in the new skin, with suede and tobacco and that soft animal tinge I can’t pinpoint yet. Most likely styrax, because there is that balsamic feel on the skin I occasionally catch in its sillage. I saw the note of patchouli in the pyramid and was afraid it will be too medicinal or earthy, but to mu luck it is softened up in the base by the dry and hay-like tobacco leaves. If you know the soft matte finish of suede, soft to touch and supple in texture. This what Cuir Nilam feels like on my skin. There is a moment there that I felt soft muskiness and soft touch of rose water on my skin. I am normally not huge rose and rose-leather fan but this is blended to such perfection that you only catch the elements singularly for a millisecond there, so your brain registers “Aha, that’s that”. Like when you look at the bouquet you spot a rose there, and you know it is rose, but that rose is merely one flower in spectacular composition that florist had created.

Sharp piercing spring sun when you stand on the closswalk and all the tall buildings somehow reflect the light into your eyes… Pepperiness of Berlin always makes me want to hold in a little sneeze. It’s zingy and cold fragrance. And because of that it is not easy to love composition for many, but once you do it’s not a “I’m gonna let you go” bottle. @gallivant.stories #gallivant #gallivanter #gallivanting #gallivantperfumes #berlingallivant #gallivantberlin #rainyday #rainygray #concreteconstruction #nicheperfumes #nichefragrances #perfumery #perfumecollection #fragrancecollector #fragcomm #perfumestories #fragrancejourney #diamondintherough #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #collectionpotential #fraghead #growdeparfum #fragrances #perfumes #fragrancias #profumi #profumum #perfumelovers #parfumista

I love when brands make little silly things to come with purchase… @officialbyredo little Il Neige snow globe is definitely my favorite.

Sometimes simple things is all we need… And no Chanel is not a simple house, neither are its fragrances. In last two years I have been gravitating more and more towards its more fragile, simplified compositions. Somehow my preception on few of their scents changes and my favorites from the past are now not even second or third favorites. I did go back to the basics and feels like I’m craving aldehydes more than ever. Stuff like 1957, 1932. But most of all Gardenia. I used to have edt bottle of it and was silly enough to sell it because it was collecting dust on my shelf. And oh gosh how much spite and regret I have. Resampling it short while back in Antwerp made me want it back. But for now I’m pleased to wear my 31 Rue Cambon. Its cap was an excellent model, don’t you think? @chanelofficial @chanel.beauty #chanel #chanelfragrance #chanellesexclusifs #31ruecambon #belrespiro #1957 #1932 #coromandel #edp #edt #boisdesiles #gardenia #camelia #no5 #sycomore #beige #boy #cuirderussie #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragrancecollection #perfumecollector #fraghead #smellgood #nicheperfumes #designerperfumes #lesexclusifsdechanel

Sometimes I’m just in a mood for artsy-fartsy pictures without scented reviews… IG is sometimes rather exhausting and running like a slave to the algorithm is not ideal daytime activity. So maybe it’s time to take it easy and just post few fun fumey visuals instead of writing heaps of text that many don’t even read. So here’s an iconic bottle for you.

It’s been in back of my head for a while to talk about fragrances that are not really shown on my feed often. I love all of them dearly and tried to assemble the 7 in such a way that all of them can be easily used during the spring time. And all 7 can easily form an entire warderobe for the season. So, final day, last but not least: Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua for Women is rounding up the 7 designer favorites today. Extremely budget friendly yet another versatile scent for the arsenal. It opens with mineralic seaside vibe and almost an apple pie vibe. Gentle and fragile saltiness is always there in the base but the top notes and mid always change depenig if it is sunny or not. It is one of the scents that is adjusting to skin temperature so when it is cold I barely smell it but with applied heat it blossoms into bouquet of crystal flower and yes pie. I am a child of the era of blue fragrances on the rise and they always smelled very masculine and sharp with piercing citruses or herbs thrown in the mix fo solidify that aquatic note. Eternity is different, she is a small peek of the sea between the garden trees. You can still find it even though release is dating back to 2012. Hope you had fun readung all my ramblings. I’d love to know what is your designer favorite that you are wearing a lot but don’t really showcase in your posts much? @calvinklein #perfumereels #fragrancereels #calvinklein #eternity #cketernity #calvinkleineternity #eternityaqua #perfumeforher #fragranceforwomen #mineralshow #aquatic #peonies #apples #calone #tiare #gardenia #budgetfriendly #fragranceaddict #perfumecollection #fragrancecollector #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #growdeparfum #musthaveforspring #springmusthave #ckfragrances #designerperfumes #designerfragrance #perfumeideas #fragranceidentity

Alrighty, day 5 brings us to Eau de Dali… It should really be called Eau Thé Dali! Soft floral with fizzy and almost peachy floral nuances. Of course the start of it is vintage powerhouse worthy but bare with it, after 3-5 minutes the screechy potato-sac cost falls down on the ground revealing a Cinderella dress underneath. Lustrous garden with fresh dew on petals. Cherry blossom, peach trees, tulips and roses and wild jasmine. Would be a great imaginary place, secret garden of elegance. Once it settles into dry-down there is a timid powderiness presenting itself. Overal performance is as with any Dali perfume, could be better. But out of all ever created, this is the one to try and enjoy! @dalihauteparfumerieofficial @salvadordalioficial #salvadordalí #dalí #daliperfume #eaudedali #vintagefragrance #vintageperfume #oldschoolfragrance #oldtimerlove #springfragrance #springperfume #forhervanity #forher😍 #fragrancehistory #fragranceartist #somethingbeautiful #everydaynewfragrance #sentimentalperfume #hiddengem #fragpixie #perfumeaholic_official #fragrantica #basenotes #parfumo #collectionpotential #supportvintage #growdeparfum #floralfragrance #feminineperfume #femininefragrance #salvadordaliart

Who does not know those legs? You?! Scandalous!!! Except next chapter in my week of favorite designer fragrances is So Scandal!, 2020 flanker to the original. And yes it seemed discontinued in between but worry not, it is back in new packaging so crisis averted. Endless tuberose and jasmine oozing in condenced milk. Sweet and (caution with amount of sprays) very loud. Very very loud. It tames down in the winter but in summer uh, no bueno during the day. Night time only! Sexy and sultry, I catch whiffs of salty popcorn in it. One note that is not listed but emerges on my skin from Olympea and Paco Rabanne Pure XS for her. It just joined my collection and yes it is officially first Scandal in collection. Scandalous, I know 🫣 @jeanpaulgaultier #jeanpaulgaultier #jeanpaulgaultierperfume #jpg #jpgsoscandal #soscandal #soscandaljeanpaulgaultier #flanker #tuberose #jasminereseller #milky #gourmandises #voluptuousvixen #olfactorybliss #fragpixie #perfumeaholic_official #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fantasticfragrance #жанпольготье #скандал #ароматдня #тубероза #жасмин #гурман #сладкиедухи #парфманьяк #парфюморигинал #ножкисобложки #iconicfragrance #uniquedesign

La Vie est Belle L'Éclat is one of the most loved fragrances of mine from the regular range of Lancôme… House that is so famous for their roses has undergone some (ekhm ekhm) rather drastic changes, but three things from them are obsolete for me. La Vie est Belle L'Éclat is one of what if feels like dozens of flankers of La Vie est Belle. And to save you the time typing “Eeew” in comments, Eclat is nothing like the original. In fact, it reminds me very much of JPG Gaultier Classique. A beautiful and sophisticated timeless scent that perfume that is simply perfect for any occasion. The top notes listed for L'Éclat are bergamot, mandarin, and orange blossom and I agree, all there, all in equal parts. Pure elegance in the start. And of course the famous syrupy vanilla. But now it has a fresh and citrusy start it deserves, invigorating and uplifting. The heart notes are unbeatable trio in any timeless floral release: jasmine, rose, and iris. And dear lord dit smells good. A delicate and floral aroma that is both feminine and elegant. Base is simplified LVEB, you get lots of vanilla and dash of patchouli and musk leading to a warm and sensual finish. That soft touch of muskiness is what makes this perfume truly irresistible. If there is a bottle for sale that you spot, hike, jump, attack. Wink at the seller if you have to, this one is really worth the hassle. Are you a LVEB yay or LVEB nay? @lancomeofficial @beautyexpertlancome #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #growdeparfum #smellgood #lavieestbelleleclat #lancomelavieestbelle #perfumelover #perfumeaddict #perfumecollection #luxuryperfume #designerperfume #nicheperfume #perfumes #perfumeblog #perfumeporn #perfumecommunity #perfumelovers #perfumegram #perfumeryart #fragrancelover #fragranceaddict #fragrancecollection #fragrancenotes #perfumerynotes #perfumeryoils #scentoftheday #perfumephotography #perfumelove #perfumebottle #perfumebottles

One of the best sandalwood dominant fragrances, one of the best honey fragrances… So which is it? My answer is both. Sandal Granada is definitely one of the best from what house of Moresque has to offer and in honey and sandalwood categories. I love the way it wears on my skin never sweetening up to the inbearable proportion like what hapens with Lorga’s Nectar Cacheté. Here we do still speak of grande sillage. But the best part of it is that magical sillage which is at the same time savory and woody and not nuclear sweet, despite the strong whiffs of honey present.

Nothing better than crisp juicy sweet lavender haze for a snowy day... Its not often that we have snow. The white fluff is almost melted away by now but it felt awesome to make some snowballs early in the morning. It's the scent of cold sharp metallic air deprived of humidity that is interesting nuance of winter. I feel like lavender is perfect amplifier of that feeling, almost like olfactory frostbite. Jersey by Chanel was deliberate choice for today, can't imagine myself picking anything else. Maybe Harmonist Metal Flower, would be my second option. @chanelofficial @chanel.beauty #jersey #chaneljersey #chanelfragrance #chanelparfum #chanelperfume #nicheperfumes #nichefragrances #lavenderfields #lavenderoil #lavenderfarm #lavendermemories #grasse #provencefrance #provencealpescotedazur #timelessperspectivesphotography #flatlayphotography #blackandwhitephotos #bwphotographer #35mmphoto #35mmfilmphoto #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #soldejaneiro #kilian #fredericmalle #dior #bottegaveneta #louisvuitton #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie

Just showing signs of life… I’ve not kicked the bucket, even though it may feel like it occasionally. As usual, life takes time to live so all social media fun is at the moment in the backburner. Hope everyone is doing fine. I had some time yesterday to dive into my closet and pick few things to scent me with this week and here it is, my today’s scent of the day. Oh and some bling-bling mood to go with it. Long story short, Eyes Closed is 🫶🏻oh-so-good🫶🏻 Will try to find time to make a proper introduction for it on my page.

Another massive showstopper for the colder season… Less is more when it comes to spraying A.E.O.M otherwise all eyes will literally be on you. Heavy on boozy opening it transitions into very complex spicy amber. Bold and intoxicating vanilla hidden in the base under layers of spices is top notch work of Cecile Zarokian👌🏻 @aura_perfume_official @cecilezarokianparfumeur #vanillafragrance #fallfragrance #winterfragrance #complexperfume #unisex #nichefragrance #nicheperfume #cecilezarokian #aurasublime #alleyesonme #aeom #bijonaeom #bijonaurasublime #perfumeaholic_official #favoritefragrances #favoriteperfume #scentforhim #scentforher #scentforsuccess #fraghead #smellgood #smellgreat #holidayperfume #ароматы #бижон #всевзглядынамне #обзор #парфтерапия #парфманьяк #коньячнаяваниль

It won’t be a surprise if I call this beauty my favorite… Chanel did some Shalismart editing and released their own version of it. Agree to disagree, I know many avoid seeing the comparison because it tarnishes the status of private collection from Chanel. But if you dig a bit and do blind sniffing, you will know same happened with Samsara becoming Bois des Iles back in the days. And few others. I am not here to judge, merely remind you of resemblances in modern perfumery that exists on continuous borrowing and reinventing wheels. So to me Le Lion is first of all a hexagon wheel of Guerlains bestseller. But those extra edges are edgy enough to make it my favorite alongside its inspiration. Both coexist in my collection perfectly fine. @chanel.beauty #lelion #chanellelion #chanelparis #chanelperfume #chanelfragrance #парфюморигинал #шанель #герлен #парфанутая #шалимар #нишеваяпарфюмерия #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #incense #darkfragrance #labdanum #vanillaperfume #classicfragrance #vintagefragrance #smellgood #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #shalimar #perfumeaholic_official #fragrantthoughts #perfumeworld #thisyearfavorites #perfumeforhim #perfumeforher #cloneornot

Today I visited one of the most beautiful Christmas markets and I was accompanied by one of my all time favorite fragrances… Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain is the bad gal that took me for a winter spin in the snow. If there is better spicy vanilla blend, I need to know. I hate terms of queen and king when people refer to fragrances, but if I had to pick, this right here would be the emperess. Equitably one of the most chique fragrances coming from under the thumb of its creator Jean Paul Guerlain. For already 15 years it conquers the hearts of fragrance enthiusiasts. I was amazed to see no celebration of the jubileum of it this year. I could use a nice gorgeous limited edition of it. Like when Mitsouko in porcelain. Or maybe extrait de parfum bottle dressed in black glass. If anyone from @guerlain is watching out for our whispers, hope you would consider it. #spiritueusedoublevanille #guerlain #guerlainperfume #lartetlamatiere #limitededition #exclusiverange #privatecollection #fragrancedream #wishfulthinking #perfumer #perfumery #nichefragrances #nicheperfumes #perfumeaholic_official #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragranceideas #perfumeideal #perfumeideas #perfectioninabottle #elegantfragrance #unisexperfume #vanillafragrance #vanillaperfume #olfactoryart #fragcomm #fragrancecommunity #parfumextrait #extraitdeparfum #winterwonderlandmaastricht

When holidays are closing up on you, there is always that handfup of fragrances that you want to wear on those special days… For me it is Hidden Accords is one of the most loved holiday scents that showcases beauty of flowers and coffee in a different way. When you normally enjoy coffe scents it is dark, roasted, crisp aroma of that welcomes you in the morning. Here it is not coffee you expect to see or should I say smell. This is firery white floral bomb with hint of gourmandise and on the edge of it all there is that veil of coffee and crushed pink peper dust. Very festive smelling and with sillage miles long it is fun companion for Christmas parties. @uniquee_luxury #hiddenaccords #uniqueeluxury #coffeeverkeerd #perfumeparadise #perfumeboutique #perfumeforher #perfumecollections #luxuryperfumes #menperfume #womenperfume #perfumesonline #perfumeforhim #eaudeperfume #newperfume #perfumeauthentic #perfumehalal #perfumeslover #authenticperfumes #longlastingperfume #myperfume #iloveperfume #perfumeworld #instafragrance #fragcomm #fragrancecollector #fragpixie #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #perfumeaholic_official

There is always time for ice-cream in the cold... Now that we entered the season of grey. The only thing that cuts the misty weather for me are some full on bright gourmands. My useage of Buontalenti speaks for itself. It's one of the fragrances that I use a lot lot and then some more when scenery outside is uninviting to say the least. It was my first post on this page and my opinion on it has not changed. So I will repeat myself: Profumo di Firenze Buontalenti 🚺🚹 ♾️ 12+ hours 〰 Moderate Top: Peach, Apricot, Banana, Red Fruits Heart: Raspberry, Coconut, Vanilla Cream Dry Down: Caramel, Toffee, Cookie, Vanilla, Musks Buontalenti is approximately 70% gourmand and 30% fruity fresh. The opening is very bright, loud splash of juicy. You recognize cranberries and peaches immediately. After 15 minutes you start getting baked cookie aroma, surrounded by sweet milky caramel and toffe candies. Base is very neutral here, I recognize white clean musks and a lot of vanilla creating that perfect creamy Gelato vibe. This is very mouthwatering and realistic dessert-like fragrance! One of the best for me in its genre. @profumodifirenze #luxuryfragrances #smellgreat #fraghead #perfumista #smellgoodfeelgood #instascent #perfumeminiature #profumodifirenze #buontalenti #icecreamlover #dessertfragrance #gourmandises #instaperfume #chanelperfume #bois1920 #authenticperfume #nicheperfumery #womanperfume #gelatoartigianale #perfumeblog #perfumeparadise #perfumeforher #perfumecollections #perfumeauthentic #authenticperfumes #instaperfumes #longlastingperfume #myperfume #fragrancecommunity #fragcomm

What if there is a saffron… One that makes you smile every time you wear it… For me for years it has been Oud Saffron by Eric Buterbaugh. Nothing short of a masterpiece. So much so that I have not really looked for many others, knowing deep down that they will not stand a chance because I already own the perfect one. Despite of what you might think, this fragrance is only a veil of saffron, mixed into honey and poured over heated vanilla pods that just started to char and smoke in the burner. Not really wildly pungent, nor dark leathery, considering its original name. Oud Saffron is only a little bit of both, in a very refined and head turning way. Mirage of saffron hidden between layers of sweetness and woody notes.

I was looking at my collection lately and thought I could recognize most of my bottles mainly by the shape... I appreciate unique design as signature look for colection but it is not merely as important as what's inside that bottle. I know that most beautiful finds can be held in the most unappealing bottles and vice versa. I took this photo a while back and it is one of the most favorite bottle designs of mine. Even though I prefer classic minimalistic Chanel, Violet and Givenchy tall bottles, I do have certain favorites that come in very unconventional shapes: • Mendittorosa Rituale @mendittorosa_odori_talismans • The Harmonist Metal Flower @theharmonist • Eric Buterbaugh Oud Saffron @ericbuterbaughfragrances • Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac @scentsofwood • Horatio London Zephyros @horatiolondon • Chloe Atelier des Fleurs Lavanda @chloe • Elisire Eau Papaguéna @elisire_parfums • Guerlain Shalimar @guerlain • Penhaligons Portraits Arthur @penhaligons_london • Vilhelm Parfumerie Dear Polly @vilhelm_parfumerie All of these are dear to my heart for the scent and the looks.

One of the favorite Chanels had made me think if I need to expand my collection with one more… 31 Rue Cambon was with me for quite some time, I was once silly enough to sell my old bottle but happily repurchased the EDP after realizing how huge of a mistake it was. This fragrance has everything house of Chanel stood for through-ought the years. Signature look and feel, attention to finest details, controversy for the wearer and learning curve. Controversy historically as company was started by a woman with ambition. Who was growing in business world shredding competition to bits. I find her story quite interesting, for that time in France, Coco was a woman who stood her ground firmly. It translated into olfactory controversy of 31 Rue Cambon. Many people still see it as too femme, too sharp or too “something else” to wear it. I firmly believe is one of the best more potent pillars of Les Exclusifs. You have to learn to love it, love aldehydes, love complexity and sweetness of it. Learn to love the steps it takes as it walks side by side with you for an entire day. Now my struggle is that I have quite few Les Exclusives but I don’t need to fangirl over all of them and buy them for the sales of “completing the collection”. I’ve been on and off about adding Gardenia and still have Boy in the back of my mind. What do you do when you can’t decide which one to get next? @chanel #chanelperfume #chanelfragrance #31ruecambon #chanelruecambon #perfumeaholic_official

Eau Noire is one of the best buys for me this year. It is a new member in the small "Spice Girls" collection of mine together with Arabie from Serge Lutens and Mumbai Noise from Byredo. I still feel that Eau Noire is the winning combo when it comes to spicy-spicy category of perfumes. I could not pull off few Amouages back in the days because they made me smell like walking kebab shop. Dior creation (thank god) emits from my skin with all shades of vanilla and lavender with coffee. Absolute love and musthave. P.S.: don't judge this for opening notes and definitely not from paper blotter, it changes a lot on the skin of the wearer. This is noy your average safe fragrance. I would highly not recommend blind buying something like this, sample first!

Another favorite for the fall, Perdizione by Nobile 1942... Sweet and dense and perfectly suited for the cold and rainy days. Orange blossom in here is almost honeyed and overal composition feels very velvety and mature. Not in terms of age of the wearer but rather well extracted vanilla from the pods. If it was a bit boozy and oaky, this would be my holy grail but it does fall a bit flat on its sweetness in the base. Still amazing for the price and can be considered a decent alternative if you're tired of classic By Kilian LDBS. @nobile1942 #nobile1942 #perdizione #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #nichefragrances #nichescent #nicheparfum #instaperfume #luxuryperfume #fragrancecollection #instafragrance #perfumelove #perfumelover #harrodsbeauty #profumidinicchia #nischendüfte #gourmand #fallfragrance #fragranze #teamoversprayers #fragrancearmy #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #perfumeaholic_official #perfumereview #lovedontbeshy #kilian #парфюмерия

Nothing is better than a perfect scent meeting the perfect mood and weather… End of November and cold mornings, filled with fog and gloom. But then sun comes up and you see all the colors and don’t care about the cold anymore. If anything, that’s the time for a favorite sweater and a pair of boots and a scent that fit so well. Me and Raw Gold have been a great fit so far. I’ve given it plenty of wears in last 1,5 months and I adore so many things about this fragrance. It is breathtakingly familiar, and so cozy. Familiar not in terms of “I know what it smells like”, no. Familiar like a person from the past who gave the best hugs in the moments of sorrow. To me this is the literal warm embrace memory mixed with my Sunday morning. Black tea with darkest manuka honey you can find prepared in thermos to go. Soft woolen sweater, black calfskin leather gloves and short drive to park or a forest, accompanied by the tune Miles Davis “Moon Dreams” 🎶 It is grand perfume, lasting long on skin and days if not full week on clothes. The serene play of notes is admirable work. There is motion within this fragrance, even though at some point some people may start to think it is linear. But then every time I put my wrist to my nose it catches whiffs of something different entirely. Iris, pollen, thick whiffs of amber, light powdery pollen again, wave of honey, soft leather peeking through, lacquered wood, saffron and fizziness of aged honey. It emits warmth continuously amplifying itself in sillage the colder it is outside. To date there is only handful of fragrances that behave like this on my skin, you may know that phenomenon from Grand Soir, Samahram, Ambre Sultan. Hat down to the perfumer achieving that motion. I was considering this purchase thoroughly and took some time with making the final call and it is one of the best buys this year together with Milky Dragon. Having conversations with Thomas about inspiration for the line that he is delivering to the chopping block called fragrance community, where there are as many opinions present as droplets in the glass. All I can say, it is a strong “yay” for me! Can’t recommend it enough🫶🏻 @thomasdemonaco #rawgold

One brand I love over half of what they made through-ought the time... Not many companies can beat Guerlain when it comes to versatility and quality. From sparkling Allegorias to vintage extraits. But I caught myself thinking last weeks that the glory of the house has seen its best days. Changing in-house perfumer, selling to conglomerate, increase in prices and drop in quality across many returned offerings. Can't say I like where this is all heading. Atm Shalimar flankers are better quality than l'Art en la Matiere collection, which had some of my lifetime favorites in it. Am I the only one whi is paitently wait for MPN to return into the range? #yourthoughts #thinkingoutloud #guerlain #guerlainperfume @guerlain

Hold on tight to your phones… I was exploring the playlist of @izalmusic last night and was stuck playing Pausa song on repeat. The mood of that number was striking. Sinister in the opening, it became very emotional and melodic, same as Chanel’s La Pausa. I love having songs as a muse… Oh yeah, teeny-tiny glimpse into tonight’s movie marathon in the end. What is everyone watching/listening to tonight? Happy Halloween 👻 #trickortreat #secondbirthday #halloweenspirit #halloweeneveryday #spookyseason #seasonofthewitch #conjuring #conjuring2 #conjuring3 #thenun #horrormovies #moviemarathon #chanelperfume @chanelofficial @chanel.beauty

•BRANDED CONTENT• Another sample from Esxence 2022 and the brand not many of you are familiar with. I've tried the entire collection for the second time in the summer here in Netherlands and have my favorite Tuxedo still hanging on the wishlist. If you ever have the chance to discover their creations, pay attention to Tuxedo, Ud Ikat, Or White and Do±Washi as all those are very unique and showcase the brand's quality and artistic direction. Ud Ikat, as the name suggests is resinous oudy composition with very strong presence of cinnamon. It is very well tailored modern take on oud fragrance featuring rather strong spicy edge of hot cinnamon and not succumbing to classic oud crutch support in form of rose. Of course rose is there but rather thorny and green, more stemmy and not floral. And it is definitely not dominating the fragrance alongside oud. Cinnamon is. As a full bodied composition, look up the pyramid notes involved, it is quite opulent and out there. Sweetness of resins in the base can be somewhat overpowering leading easily to noseblindness. For me such fragrance is reserved for evening-only and for formal occasions. Leaning bit more masculine in the opening it settles down fully unisex on the skin. I would not wear this one easily myself, as I mentioned it makes my nose die on itself due to out there strength of this fragrance. If you are a fan of cinnamon like one showcased in Angel's Share bit with more adult depth to it, Ud Ikat is something worth sampling ☝🏻 @uermi_perfumes @esxenceofficial #perfumelovers #nfragrancelovers #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #growdeparfum #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #collectionpotential #perfumecollection #fragcomm #fragrancecollection #fraghead #instaperfume #instafragrance #fragsnaps #glamour #unisex #bestseller #udikat #uermi #uermiparfums #aoud #oudajmal #ajmal #sandalwood #cedarwood #liquidgold #samples #esxence

Whoops forgot the caption for it 🙈 So have to upload it hours later… Slogan is not really something I can call favorite. It’s very basic and acts better as gripping medium for more fleeting scents than when I wear it on its own. Nonetheless bottle design is just 👌🏻 @courregesparfums @courreges #courreges #slogan #courregesslogan #designbottle #beautifuldesign #whitebottle #perfumebottle #fragrancebottle #fragrancereels #perfumereels #perfumeaholic_official #nicheperfumer #perfume #fragrance #perfumephotography #fragpixie #balenciagaparis #fragrantica #collectionpotential #fragrancephotography #fresh #nichefragrance #parfum #аромат #basenotes #growdeparfum #vanilla #isoesuper #fragranceingredients

If walls could talk... They would probably tell you a story of me discovering new bad language synthesis because I once broke a whole new bottle of this beauty. Not easy to find release. I don't love Viktor & Rolf Bonbon. I am not in love with it, don't own it, don't want it, don't like it. But the Pastel version of it has been my holy grail for ages. It is one of a kind aquatic caramel fragrance that just makes you smell yummy. It has the DNA of original Bonbon but in a very muted and clean way. I am sceptic when it comes to good caramel notes in fragrances and stuff like Prada Candy and classic Bonbon are in the "hellnaaaaw" category for me. Too sweet, too cloying, too linear. But pastel has that gorgeous orange blossom mixed with caramel and almost sea salt accord making it elegant and feminine smelling, without being obnoxious. Razor sharp balance is what lured me in and never let go. I surprisingly don't wear it in the summer even though it was technically a summer flanker. But here it is, a massive fall favorite of mine. Who could have guessed. I love it because it is cozy and reminds me of salted fudge. If I want to make it moore sultry I simply layer it with Coromandel or Bois des Iles. Those two give Bonbon Pastel more audacious feel and create an epic trail in the air. @viktorandrolf_fragrances @viktorandrolf #viktorrolf #viktorandrolf #bonbon #viktorrolfbonbon #bonbonpastel #growdeparfum #perfumeaholic_official #fragpixie #fragpixiephotography #collectionpotential #perfume #nichefragrance #fragcomm #designerfragrance #fragrance #香水 #عطر #香水 #parfüm #duft #parfum #perfumy #parfym #profumo #इत्र #gourmand #sweet #caramel

Spoke about it not too long ago, but here we are again... Multiple falls favorite form my collection. I made sure I will never run out of it and can cover myself head to toes with this gorgeous orange blossom leather. If ever recreated in current decade, it would be close to the top of the niche frag chain👌🏻 @muglerofficial #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #nichefragrances #nichescent #nicheparfum #instaperfume #luxuryperfume #fragrancecollection #instafragrance #perfumelove #perfumelover #harrodsbeauty #profumidinicchia #nischendüfte #thierrymugler #fallfragrance #perfumeblogger #fragranze #teamoversprayers #fragrancearmy #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragpixie #perfumereview #mugler #alien #muglercuir #aliencuir

Fall favorite once again... Spoke about it too often so briefly covering the most important aspects: • Adult and sophisticated composition • Elegant and effortless in wear • Unisex despite the gender "pour homme" lable • Moderate sillage, longlasting on skin and clothes • Price point : value ratio is open for discussion If money is no issue and you love boozy tobacco with hint of cola, this is top tire choice #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #nichefragrances #nichescent #nicheparfum #instaperfume #luxuryperfume #fragrancecollection #instafragrance #perfumelove #perfumelover #harrodsbeauty #profumidinicchia #nischendüfte #rojaenigma #fallfragrance #perfumeblogger #fragranze #teamoversprayers #fragrancearmy #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragpixie #perfumereview @rojaparfums #enigmapourhomme

Bed time SOTD by @violet.parfums… Will post my thoughts about it hopefully at the end of the month. For now I’m just enjoying the symphony of cedarwood and frankincense created by @nathalielorson_masterperfumer on my skin. Hope everyone’s Monday was a good start of the week 🤍🤍🤍 P.S.: Huge thanks to @nose.knows.no.notes for this fab birthday present🫶🏻 #maisonviolet #violetparfums #veolay #maisonvioletabime #abime #violetabime #abimemaisonviolet #perfume #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #cedarwood #palosanto #woody #resinous #smoky #frankincense #incense #collectionpotential #growdeparfum #fragrancias #profumi #dufte #fragrantica #basenotes #parfumo #fragpixie #perfumeaholic_official #bwperfumeworld #bw #perfumereel

As per promise from my poll a while back on what to post, it had equal replies for all three categories: vintages, Esxence 2022 samples and fall favorites, here's a fall favorite. Yes-yes it was featured in my most ugliest bottles story, merely because from occupational perspective this bottle looks like a fragrance and sex toy multitasker. So doing my photography best here (trying to capture the non-pleasure end) and voilà! Wiating for those photography awards to drop any minute now… This is none other but Ardent Oud by The Merchant of Venice from the Murano Art Flame collection. For extraits, they are definitely good for the buck, but there is a slight "but". Why is it called oud when there is none to find in it. Surely it is the allspice and saffron mimicking oudy arura but I assure you it ain't oud oud, merely its shadow. Now that we know what it is not, let's talk abouy what it is. And it is drop dead gorgeous spicy fragrance with cardamom, saffron overload and as a result oriental market vibe. Note to cumin avoiders. This is a safe grab, no cumin has been located in this bottle. However, you do get a bunch of pepper that elevates that carrot not just enough so it doesn't drown in the rest of the goodies that are put in abundance inside. I wear it when I have "conquer all my problems" mood, and it is a great one for fall-winter. With well balanced and unique composition that is not boring to wear, Ardent Oud is quite memorable for people around you. I would not recommend it for the mellow office days but hey, if you want to wear it who am I to tell you to not do so. After all, it is a solid release and complements @themerchantofvenice collection perfectly. #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #themerchantofvenice #ardentoud #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #nichefragrances #nichescent #nicheparfum #instaperfume #luxuryperfume #fragrancecollection #instafragrance #perfumelove #perfumelover #harrodsbeauty #profumidinicchia #nischendüfte #oud #fallfragrance #perfumeblogger #fragranze #teamoversprayers #fragrancearmy #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragpixie #perfumereview #aoud

Today's topic of the day is a little bit vintage if I may... The chypre legend next to Chanel No.5 made me do it. This little beauty has come to life same decade as Shalimar and No.5. Yes, yes it's older than my grandparents and probably yours too. It is one if the couple fragrances that I own from that era. And all of the crushed top notes in the world can’t change a thing for me because it is unconditional love!!! Just look at those notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Aldehydes, Peach, Orris, Carnation, Ylang-Ylang, Plum, Orange Blossom, Cloves, Labdanum, Patchouli, Incense, Vanilla, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Oakmoss and Amber. All at pre-IFRA glory. Say whaaat🙌🏻 Being labdanum and carnation heavy Le Numero Cinq by Molyneux is a trickster. Gorgeous floral heart that opens up on skin after muted rainbow of what used to be fruity take on citruses is nothing but shy. The opening is a bit musty dusty and tad sour because those top notes have left the building. Only the carcass of their presence remains in this composition. Transition to the mid is therefore fairly quick and there I'm greeted with green iris accord and thick presence of moss. Through that thick green and rooty smog, I slowly detect plums and prunes and bright creamy ylang, spiced up by heavy dose of carnation. I know it sounds all over the place but in real life this Le Numero Cinq is just perfect. It is heady, it is evocative and so 20's. Golden age of grotesque, as Marilyn Manson used to sing but in the best possible way. The construction of this fragrance is simply timeless and complex, even a bit loud in places. So my advice for all those who adore their PDM and Initio bangers “STFOut from this”. You won't like it or wear it because this is not overly sweet nor a pantydropper for 18 y.o. For those who appreciate noble iris, get your nose on it like yesterday👌🏻I would not think twice, breathe twice or blink twice seeing one of those beauties for sale.
