Kawa Karda is an ode to cardamom coffee. The blend by Atelier des Ors is intriguingly delicate yet very opulent in its nature.

Many of you know that cardamom infused coffee is often served in Middle East and India. It signifies generosity and friendship and having a cup with friends always leads to great storytelling moments. So what story didi Kawa Karda tell me?

First and foremost, the note of dark roasted coffee beans in the opening of Kawa Karda was making my mouth water. It’s been a long time since I had that much time smelling proper extra dark roast beans. After only few seconds, cardamom whooshes in and steals the show. It is zingy, sparkling and aromatic, making me smile. The amount of cardamom used in this fragrance is beyond generous. Paired with gentle rose accord and zesty vetiver, it is round and has almost reversed pyramid.

With time, the aroma of cardamom gets lighter and brighter, shining on skin. Out of two newest releases, it is my favourite because of that shift from darkness to more ethereal and green facets of cardamom. With prominent sillage for many hours, overall performance is well thought of. Balance of notes through ought every stage of Kawa Karda’s development is striking. As striking as the new full black flacons.

Next best thing to the OG…

It’s not a secret to anyone that Musc Ravageur EDP is butchered beyond recognition. If you have a chance to try older batches versus what is presented now in the shelves you would think they are two totally different fragrances. Same as what happened to Dior’s Bois D’Argent.

So little tip, search for its hair mist, one with transparent liquid (my guess alcohol base) and not milky-water based formulation as it is now.

As I said in the start of this post. It’s the next best thing to the OG 😉

What do you do with your emptied bottles…

No-one is going to miss a piece of glass on this side of the screen, so yes, as you might have noticed, I tend to put my empties through final use: experimenting with filming.

I have too many ideas and too few empties to practice on but when I do, they pass away in style. Like this Mitsouko that was gilded first and then burnt into afterlife.

Who says ledend’s can’t go in style 😏

Woke up singing this song and it hasn’t left my head… So matching its mood to the last minty scent I wore.

We were supposed to be going to Cape Carbonara today, but s**t happens. Now that hubs is sick and pool still not operational, I am playing clapping games and snooping around Instagram for things to do in coming days.

Gonna make some pasta carbonara instead postponing the trip till everyone is fully recovered. Nothing is wrong with watching a good old movie like The Beach or Casablanca. Or maybe will be finishing the Saw X.

How is your Thursday so far?

@senyokoparis fragrances are pure art… You might know Euan McCall’s work for @jorumstudio most of which I find hard to wear. He also created Senyokô line that my skin loves. Duo Des Fleurs is all about playful side of jasmine, mixed with rose and sandalwood. Very translucent and airy composition with longevity that is hard to imagine for such delicate scent profile.

It’s been a while since I spoke about fragrances featuring notes of lotus/waterlily…

Now that the summer is around the corner, there is a big shift in my perfume warderobe and those little seasonal floral beauties make their appearance on my shelves. As with any Etro, this fragrance needs time, to accustom to your skin, to show its facets. I feel they are rather weather sensitive formulas and that is why they always expose yet another side, especially during consecutive wears.

For me this is a stellar representation of the waterlilies. It is mesmerizing sparkling fragrance that is light and airy upon the superficial glance. But once on skin it performs so well. One of those fragrances that give you the second skin effect without bringing drama into the equation. Soft aura of Italian garden with pond on a cold spring evening. With its fresh air, shadows and watery dew drops.

SUPERFUMISTA collection overview…

OUR BLURRY NOTE
Most complex development of the entire range. It is savoury, spicy, woody and animalic. A real great job considering two people had an input and wishes put into one perfume pyramid. One side of it is traditional rich floral and other one is more deep dark and resinous. Incense, cinnamon, benjoin. Fantastic nose-twister

DOLCE NISSA
Candy apples at the carnival. Real guilty pleasure gourmand. It made me say wow upon the first sniff. And as far as the imagery goes, Ben nailed the brief so well. Who could ever resist aroma of marshmallows, milky vanilla and candy apples bringing back the best of childhood memories.

INFRA ROSE
Roses and champagne anyone? The fruity rose in the start is setting the stage for a romantic evening. Very bubbly and girly scent with fresh musks and touch of lychee confiture. I can see myself wearing it in spring a lot. It feels to my nose that magnolia was involved here but I can’t know for certain. Best for those loving Delina type of fruity rose.

OUD GALANT
That one is very masculine on me. It is very edgy combination of leather and saffron on top of oud. There is zero sweetness to it and my skin tends to amplify the vetiver here. Despite it having jasmine in the composition. If you are a fan of dry heavy leathers and woods, definitely try this one.

BOOZY BOY
Plum and cognac palooza. The name says it all. And no it is not for boys only. It is a sophisticated boozy fragrance with hints of fruit, ambers and powdery touch of tonka beans. Sounds mouthwatering, and it is. There is a very noticeable chocolate facet to this fragrance which makes me think of liquor filled bonbons served in velvet laced oakwood box.

MINTY MINT
One of the most long-lasting mint fragrances I have EVER smelled. It is intriguing to me as a mint lover because I sense vetiver in there. Placed in the corner just to prolong and elevate the sweet minty and cold menthol accords. I’ve told Ben that I am personally missing a juicy crunchy citrusy on top, but for the rest the fragrance is an absolute perfection.

In last post I asked for your input to see different opinions and points of view on bespoke perfumery.

For me personally that idea is absolutely fantastic! I would love to create something extraordinary given the opportunity. I have tried Ex Nihilo’s Osmologue personalisation in the past. It was full in-person experience exploring the notes and possible blend combinations. The thrill of picking favorite note, combining it with existing formula was lots of fun.

Having this small experience made me more open to the idea of creating fragrances. My lack of knowledge of blending raws into accords and terror of measuring it all up in right proportion, using correct carriers. Let’s say idea of it all makes my palms sweaty not in a good way. And having to invest into trillion materials is not something I am ever looking forward to. I prefer to place my trust with professionals. That is where another trouble thoughts emerge on horizon. Who to trust, is there anyone locally available for the back-forth feedback, shipping fees, time investment and so on. Never ending nightmare. I am a consumer soul. Orchestrating something this complex is beyond my reach and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Good news guys! I did find a person who I can fully trust with an idea, who can make something extraordinary from words and ideas. And who can honestly tell you wether the desired result is feasible or not. That part I value the most. I am talking about Ben, who I had an honour to meet in person last summer. The end-products of @superfumista (his initiative), that I managed to evaluate, are really beautiful!

Recreating your olfactory vision is what Ben does. He listens to what you want and how you want it, providing you with samples after he pulls every last bit of information out of you about your olfactory vision. All that at reasonable price, given the time going into his truly artisanal work consisting of multiple trials and errors, materials etc. Knowing that 6/6 scents I tried were all beyond solid effort and analyzing their briefs was fantastic experience. I can relate to all of the olfactory briefs. Soon I will post short sum-up of each.

Ben, you did 10/10!

Alright time to talk about bespoke fragrances… If you would ever want to create your own fragrance, just for yourself, which route would you take?

I was seeing some people reaching out to perfumers for the bespoke services just to be left with very little awe and an empty wallet. I know for a fact people (and brands) do tend to cut lots of corners in this industry and it is not a big secret. Amongst the big riff-raff and celebrity fragrances created by factories, there is very little trust in bespoke for me. Unless you go to Henry Jacques or Independent perfumers. But be ready to strip your credit card naked while doing so.

For now I’d like to know what is bespoke perfumery to you? What are the important factors in this practice and would you be willing to create a fragrance for yourself given the opportunity? Drop a comment below, I’d love to hear your thought or maybe about your experience on this very interesting and not widely covered topic.

Found this pic I took by mistake instead of video recording and figured why not use it…

Another osmanthus heavy masterpiece, and staple in my collection. This time by Amouage. My Sunshine bottle has seen many corners of the Earth. It flew in my suitcase across 3 continents and visited 10+ countries in my suitcase. It’s been dropped and chipped its paint on cap and lable. She might not be the best looking after the years, but as far as the scent goes, she is a total champ. Almonds, vanilla, apricoty osmanthus. What else is there to wish for.

Always-with-me scent for vacation and good mood.

Crawling into realm of sanity…

It’s been pretty comatose week thanks to the wonderful flu season that just keeps gifting. Entire week under blanked is a gift and a curse. Being able to miss out on all possible sales for this holiday was a gift. Managing to have two cats not kill eachother the first week was a curse.

Looking in retrospect, I’ve treated myself proper this year already. Highlight of it definitely the amazing goodies from teone.reinthal and upgrading my fragrance space to my vision. And best most special treat on top is adding new family member to our crazy household.

And that is why I feel none other than blessed. Living our lives can be tough at times but in the end what matters is surrounding ourselves with whom and what we love. For me it’s been family and friends. And occasional wishlist olfactory treats.

Hope you had a great turkey week and snatched something lovely during the crazy sales going around. I’d love to know what have you added/wishlisted to your fragrant collection this week.

I’d love to know what have you added/wishlisted to your fragrant collection this week. #nicheperfumes #nicheperfumery #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #nichefragrances #nichescent #nicheparfum #instaperfume #luxuryperfume #fragrancecollection #instafragrance #perfumelove #perfumelover #harrodsbeauty #profumidinicchia #nischendüfte #oud #fallfragrance #perfumeblogger #fragranze #teamoversprayers #fragrancearmy #growdeparfum #collectionpotential #fragpixie #perfumereview

Beach life and the magical scent of seaside…

All trapped into one bottle of Grand Beau. The little gem of Thomas de Monaco collection featuring the fantastic image of northern coastline. Tad of juniper berries softly squeezed between fingers, memorable amount of freshly washed ashore seaweed, warm and fragrant vetiver, soft linger of dry woody ambroxan and mineralic muskiness that is almost ozonic in its nature but not quite.

It’s not a scent of rainy day at all. If I smell it with my eyes closed I imagine hot sand and seafoam. Grand Beau is reminding me of a windy sunny day when small droplets of seawater travel in my field of smell before I cross that hill to meet the endless water. Could not even think of taking anything else with me to the beach today.

Stacking and restacking collection can be troublesome activity…

It’s been some busy weeks and I didn’t make it easy for myself by going full on and trying to organize my collection. But I did. It ain’t perfect but at least now I know where what is. Now the biggest struggle is to not misplace everything again.

Here’s a tiny glimpse in my Guerlains since the new design has been released. They accumulated into tiny chess board pattern.

Sunday shopping spree and new gems…

Once in a while I stumble on some perfume houses that are new to me so I dip my toe and order few samples to explore. This time it was a chonky dive that didn’t leave me dissapointed.

I was eager to find somethingn close to TF Plum Japonais and kind if felt underwhelmed by most offerings who tried to recudsitate the long discontinued beauty. I was holding on to my TF sample and now I don’t have to. Because Smokey Plum has everything I was looking for in an inspired scent.

It is the closest version to the original. Of course I have not tried all reincarnations by all brands out there. I am not that crazy. But sampling the regular offenders like Alexandria made shake my head in dislike and move on.

Yesterday when comparing OG TF and Smokey Plum. It was one on one race on my skin. After about 3 hours Smokey plum pulled a bit sweeter on my skin whilst Plum Japonais stayed more burning-woodsy. But after two more hours the drydown pretty much equalized itself. Now that it is morning and I am smelling my skin, there is still faint presence of TF and quite noticeable aroma of vanilla and fir in the spot where I applied Smokey Plum. It feels more dense and grippy on skin so I assume that longevity on clothes will be even better. So far both are +/- 10h on my skin. Since it is my first wear, I can’t speak much of the sillage-performance, need to test it more outdoors. But needless to say, I am very impressed with the job of Athena Fragrances.

This is very accurate representation of TF Plum Japonais, without being obnoxious ambroxenated stinkbomb which is often the alteration that some brands choose to go for when bringing discontinued scents back. All that for 65$. Could not wish for a better blind-buy outcome.
