Still my signature scent. I don’t wear it often but consider it my “match made in heaven”….

One of a kind velvety oud-rose duo. You can drown in it without being considered overbearing. You can lightly spray it and make it elevate your mood.

I feel stunning when wearing this incredible creation by @soniaconstantperfumer for her own brand @ella_k_parfums_paris 
I admire everything about Lette de Pushkar. From fiery saffron start to the darkest finest vanilla accord living in the base. This is dark and elevated at the same time.

Or can you🫣

The reel track didn’t have enough “another ones” to show the actual extend of the damage to my wallet…

And yes it has been many years of good love towards the brand, and yes those are all vintage bottles. I despite the fact things were changed too many times and new fragrances from them that I occasionally sniff in the store don’t last a sqack nowadays. Ones that I have atm are all “once it’s gone it’s gone forever”🥺

Eau Noire is one of the best buys for me this year. And today I have purchased old formula of Arabie from Serge Lutens to add to the very small "spice girls" collection of mine.
 
What is your most spiciest scent in collection?

As hot days continue to be upon us I have no other way to escape this heat but wear really green scents. I love citruses and fruits for the summer bit they tend to get cloying fast and I have some business to attend that involves other people so today I went for something very soothing: FO'AH 02.
 
This is one of my favorite releases from the house (of course there are two more of them nesting in the wishlist of mine for ages, if you ever have the chance do try the 👉🏻nr 11 and nr 17 👈🏻). For now I smell divine like a peaceful oasis in the middle of the desert while weather outside is turning everything into one.
 
Hope you all hydrate and stay cool in this melt🤍🤍🤍

It’s gettig hot in here 🥵

Amalfi Sunray from Emotions series launched by ZARA is one of my favorites from the bunch. It is currently debated as being dupe for Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino but I personally thing it has  most similarities with Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua version. It is very surprising to see so many things they have in common but sometimes it happens. I’m not judging :)
 
The opening of Amalfi Sunray is very fresh, fizzy and sparkling mandarin with bergamot rind. To my nose it has a sparkling water quality to it, very very pretty! Overall composition is a bit bitter, sweet, green and aromatic. Extremely fitted for summer and hot weather!  After about minute or two you get the beautiful (very prominent) note of neroli. And it is so naturalistic to my nose that it makes my mouth water. Everything is placed on fluffy base of white musks making the longevity very good for the humid and dry weather conditions. Can’t go wrong with that one. Crowd pleaser? yes! Inexpensive? Yes! Great present idea for anyone? YES!
 
ZARA Emotions N°04 Amalfi Sunray is entirely unisex fragrance that creates that expensive cologne aura around you. It projects nicely for first 5 hours and then turns to more softer musky skin scent. Such a little gem in the collection. Warning: you’ll get huge amount of compliments with this one!

Setting up the pool today did some good! Feeling relaxed and like I need to take a day off to catch up with friends. My scent of the day is the gorgeous Moroccan Iris by @lorgaparfumsparis

Great composition but how about the longevity?
 
Most of hesperidic fragrances are transparant. Or are they? My nose had encountered any possible and impossible citrus combinations over the course of years and there is definitely love there for green and tart inside of me.
 
I have learned that I prefer orange blossom over the orange fruit, I adore bergamot in its cleanest form not altered by too much noise in the background. Also that my most favorite citrus is Yuzu even though I'm a huge huge fan of beefy mandarin note.
 
Citruses are not meant to last, so seeking for that perfect full day of entertainment was never my intention. Even though after sampling so many, few perfumers have proven to me that it is possible to have superb longevity given the proper balance between raw materials and aromachemicals, by adding grippy neutral bases. 
 
Most importantly not kicking up the concentration dial to the point that you end up spraying skincare grade scented body oil on yourself. I do own a few of those all-day-long beasts. Best of Bortnikoff, Xerjoff, Profumum Roma. But I somehow reach more for the simple citruses like this Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria on the photo. Got this as a backup in older bottle design that has not seen the light of LVMH labs just yet.
 
What's your favorite citrus dominant fragrance?

No words for this beauty so I just leave it here…

It was so hard to find, I waited for years, and one day it popped up brand new for sale. Didn’t come cheap, but that’s the thing. Once you love something a lot, price becomes secondary matter. It was preserved to perfection by another person who took care of it for so many years. Feeling blessed to have it back in my collection🥰

The thing is that’s a lot of designer releases have been tested on a specific population a.k.a. target group, and they are made excellent in regular folk terms, because people give feedback to wahat they smell. And yes most people admiring everything niche will say "eew" ands scroll further, but...
 
That feedback loop is why I think it’s really important to give details on your wearing experience to the perfumer or the brand. In a constructive manner preferably. Of course there’s more creativity and daring compositions in niche side of the scents and crazy is very welcome, but I still think that is important for a fragrance to be really wearable. I mean if you have a pretty bottle standing on your shelf and it stinks, it has no value. But once you wear it and enjoyed a lot and use it a lot that’s when you make certain memories with fragrance.
 
One of the greatest memories I have is when I actually move to Netherlands and my relationship started we were browsing in the store and sales lady handed me a sample of something I did not know it was still back then. She just sat there behind the counter saying "try that, this is the new release and it is so good". Flowerbomb Extreme has been discontinued now for several years and it’s very very unfortunate because Iit was pulled of so quickly and quietly everywhere.
 
I think it had something to do with concentrations/IFRA being overly active, but nonetheless this is still a fragrance that is in my collection that I trust, I love and use it a lot. Generic or mass marketed, designer or cheap, call it what you want. I use it for nights out with my husband, he loves it on me. I use it for when I’m in the mood for smelling really nice and it doesn’t matter which sf inflicted mental division box it came from. It is the scent of my youth, me feeling at the top of the world. Viktor & Rolf have done incredible job on it! I wish it would return to the market, this is my last bottle😫

If there was ever time to wear one scent for entire week, this would be it. My Shalimar kink is still strong and frankly it is so busy in life that I can't keep up with thinking about perfumes.
 
Buuuut, today thoughts are on BDK's Rouge Smoking. If I could, I would tell you how much I love it. But that would not be the case here. I like it and see why others have formed a hypetrain for it, but it is not a love. I am not convinced. Not entirely.
 
I feel like it is a very superficial fragrance, catchy opening and boozy notes mixes with vibrant cherry accord. When I saw that Parisian glam was advertised I thought "Yeeeeeah baby! Chique and impeccable!". Parisian soho in a bottle.
 
Instead I was met by what remains on the floor of cabaret after busy saturday night. Scent of liqueur, smushed dessert cherries and sticky floors. Sweet? Sure. Nice? Not entirely sure. Because what comes after the opening is a drop down the cliff. The drydown is so flat than even Dutch people giggle at it.

I love Amelie’s work for Mendittorosa and Lorchestre Parfums. She is incredible and talented perfumer and she worked on a scent that has been super successful. I’m only curious to see that BDK brief. What was in it that inspired the red tuxedo. 

Needless to say that I parted with the bottle rather sooner than later. Can’t like them all, can’t win them all, definitely no need to own them all.

I've writen about this one before. I know, not the usual summer grab. But I often like to tests things on skin when weather is a warm delight. It often brings new facets out. 
 
Today there is definitely less spice than usual and more fruits peek through. It is as if vintage Musc Ravageur came to say "Hi" into my ear. Really interesting...

Didn’t notice how fast the time passed…

It’s been over two years of pouring my love for fragrances and sharing my thoughts on fragrance industry related things here on IG. It has been a great pleasure to meet so many people sharing same passion, meet founders of olfactory masterpieces in real life, to learn from the very best in this industry.

I know I don’t post regularly and don’t live in every brands feed. My Black and White visuals and personal views on perfume world, its ethics and manipulations are sometimes perceived as brutal. But remember I’m first and foremost collector and customer in this industry. Posting my thoughts both negative and positive is important. What you read and see is a part of my experience for over a decade and yes, there are scents I would not buy if someone else had posted their actual thoughts, not ones driven by the ideas of profits. Transparency, quality over quantity and honesty are important to me, have always been and they are cornerstones of my presence here. I am loving the idea of having my own safe place filled with amazing people and I have achieved that.

Todays I’m glimpsing at all the hard work and beautiful people beside me and I just want to say thank you! For seeing something in my page, sticking around for such long time, for becoming amazing friends, tolerating my sometimes eau de Sauvage humor, for all the laugher and words of support in tough moments🤍🤍🤍

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

What you read and see is a part of my experience for over a decade and yes, there are scents I would not buy if someone else had posted their actual thoughts, not ones driven by the ideas of profits. Transparency, quality over quantity and honesty are important to me, have always been and they are cornerstones of my presence here. I am loving the idea of having my own safe place filled with amazing people and I have achieved that. Todays I’m glimpsing at all the hard work and beautiful people beside me and I just want to say thank you! For seeing something in my page, sticking around for such long time, for becoming amazing friends, tolerating my sometimes eau de Sauvage humor, for all the laugher and words of support in tough moments🤍🤍🤍 From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! #pastagang #fragrancefamily #blastfromthepast #happysaturday #fraghead #fragranceaddict #fragfam #thankyouforbeingafriend #perfume #fragrance

Sunny day, injured foot, craving fruit…

Loving the Fineapple by @gallagherfragrances Sad to see this design being replaced but oh well. Out of all  pineapples in my collection, this one is still on number 1 place. Fruity, sweet and musky it has nothing to do with Frederic Malle Music for a While or Creed’s Aventus. Imagine eating frozen pineapple ice lollies. That’s right, you got the idea😉

Fun, fresh, juicy and tasty smelling. What else could you wish for in the middle of the sunny day?

I really like summer but there is SUMMER and there is a SCORCH...

Today is one of the scorching days and I could not choose what to wear so I opted for something that is very safe choice for me because I know it’s gonna last me all day being stuck cruising around the city all day dreaming of some white sandy beaches.
 
Ever since Amber Cologne came out, I fell in love with it. It is really easy grab scent which is very likeable and not offensive for other people. What you mostly preceive is juicy and very bright floral aura around you.
 
On my skin this is very long lasting given  the right weather. In the scorch what usually happens with me is that things literally fly off my skin in 2-3 hours. But anything from @bortnikoffparfum and @profumumroma  anchor to me very well. Yes, I know, the concentration is massive, but blending is also one of a kind. And that is most important for me personally.
 
What's your hot day go to scent?

It is believed that cheap brands copy expensive scents…

Reality is severely opposite. You would think a company just takes the popular fragrance, recreates its formula and puts it out on the market for dirt cheap. It actually happens in reverse as well, more often than you think.

➡️ Guerlain Vetiver becomes Roja Vetiver Cologne
➡️ Prada Iris becomes Xerjoff Ibitira
➡️ Guerlain Shalimar becomes Chanel Le Lion
➡️ Kilian LDBS becomes PDM Oriana
➡️ Xerjoff Erba Pura becomes Initio Musk Therapy

Truth is, this list is endless. Everyone wants to siphon the success of bestsellers. Which one is the reverse dupe duo that spiked in price when compared to the original that you have spotted lately?

Guess that is my absolute 4 of Chanel Les Exclusifs @chanelofficial @chanel.beauty 
I might need to add one more but it had always been tough for me to choose betweeen Sycamore and Bel Respiro…

▪️Bois des Iles EDT
▪️Beige EDP
▪️Le Lion EDP
▪️Coromandel EDP (sadly EDT of it is nowhere to be found anymore)

Which one is your favorite?

Brocard Black Swan: dark, gothic and intriguing...
 
It was an experiment today to wear it in nearly 30 degrees weather. I smell rose more vividly and I like what I smell. It has the DNA of Black Orchid yet it is not a clone in any way. Sourness of sandalwood is what makes me squint my nose in the opening stages of it, but after that part dissepates into the hot air, patchouli-rose duo thrives on my skin. In winter it is patchouli bomb. In summer aparantly more crystallized candied rose with layer of dust over it. Remarkable and very addictive. 
 
Very good for the buck, that is is you can purchase it where you live...
