Nabucco by Nabucco Parfum Fin: art, craft or ritual?
I have never been too keen on picking a side in the debate.“Is perfume making art or craft? A spiritual expression or a commercial aspiration?”. Mostly because I don’t think that this is a simple question to answer. To me it

Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Santal Noble: the son of Mitsouko
Santal Noble is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. I perceive it as a unique interpretation of sandalwood, as different as possibly can be from other classic representatives of this note. It maintains the creamy aspect of the wood but

Slumberhouse samples part 2 and the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Annick Goutal Vetiver: the Neptunian Vetiver
Marine scents are synonymous to light, lighthearted, sporty compositions, high on synthetics and very easy to please. They try to evoke happy, sunny, carefree moments by the sea. Can there be a marine scent that is all the opposites of what we
