Serge Lutens Baptême du feu: initiation process
I just sampled the new Serge Lutens and as it usually happens after smelling a Serge Lutens on your skin for the first time, one has an Ahhh….! moment. That’s what uncle Serge meant! The quote that teases into Baptême du

Clinique Aromatics in White and Etro New Tradition, perfume crossroads

Colours of Iris* Part 5: Fleur d’Iris and the perfect iris note

Jil Sander Man Pure 1981: too good to be forgotten
I am not very much into vintage perfume hunting for many reasons. First of all you never know what you get, how well it was preserved what how much of its original beauty was lost. This makes me a little

Tindrer: smells like Joga (and Magnetic Scent collection quick sniff)
With niche perfume market booming it is hard to keep up with new releases and sometimes when I do try to keep up I often find myself wondering if it is really worth the trouble. Magnetic Scent is a new house

Slumberhouse samples part 2 and the beginning of a beautiful friendship
Picking this up right where I left it… Vikt is a smoky and slightly animalic scent. It is smoky enough to make you think that this is a vetiver scent. A fresh cut wood note starts poking through the smokiness

R’oud Elements: all it takes is Kerosene and a spark
I have been following Kereosene’s channel for a long time because I enjoy the way he reviews perfume. Laid back, décontracté and usually with a hilarious quirk. He is one of us. Hearing that he is launching his own perfume
