Dries Van Noten from Editions de Parfums by Frederic Malle

Worn like a couture winter coat

 An enveloping warmth. First and foremost a creative response to designer Dries Van Noten’s Flemish roots.
Belgium’s stark winter call for domestic warmth, while its history, as one of the great stages for the trade of precious raw materials, calls for a rich amalgam of textures and motifs: tea by the fire, speculoos biscuits and Indian spices inspired this comforting blend of milky sandalwood, vanilla, saffron, and sacrasol, for a lasting effect of exotic, buttery warmth. 
NOTES
Bergamot, saffron, sandalwood, vanilla, sacrasol, white musk.

REVIEW
A fantastic concoction by Bruno Jovanovic where he perfectly uses and blend buttery, creamy and milky Mysore sandalwood with a sweet Belgian dessert accord lifted with the bright notes of bergamot and lemon to play a counterpart in the creamy sweet overall profile. The patchouli, spices (especially saffron) and precious musks reinforces the sandalwood note making it more smooth and elegant and not letting the fragrance fall into the so sweet, gourmand or cloying territory.



Una mezcla fantástica de Bruno Jovanovic, donde utiliza y combina a la perfección el mantecoso, cremoso y lechoso sándalo Mysore con un dulce acorde de postre belga levantado con las notas brillantes de bergamota y limón para jugar una contraparte en el perfil general cremoso y dulce. El pachulí, las especias (especialmente el azafrán) y los almizcles preciosos refuerzan la nota de sándalo haciéndola más suave y elegante y sin dejar que la fragancia caiga en un territorio muy dulce, goloso o empalagoso.


Sample thanks to Natalia at Frederic Malle counter at El Corte Inglés.

BLACK by Puredistance Master Perfumes

Imagen
A breathtakingly elegant, addictive, charming and evocative perfume that is truly memorable THE PERFUME "You are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures" BLACK  is an experience in its own, a fragrance that is imposing, but refined and elegant, powerful but delicate, dark but bright, mysterious and sensual, a composition that I can define as a dangerous treat and an olfactory journey through different phases like a book, a movie or a piece of music can do, even a painting where the individual is always subject to its own interpretation and able to feel whatever that paint evokes in its own mind without judging which materials the artist used, which is the formation or references, the inspiration,etc., you are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures. NOTES As a consequence of the concept of BLACK (that treasures the beauty of...

BOHEMIAN LIME BY GOLDFIELD AND BANKS

Imagen
An enchanting fragrance that treasures a tremendous smoothness and a little portion of Australia's soul in it Cape Byron is Australia's most easterly point, 153° 39´ east, located on the north coast of New South Wales (see map of Australia below). With its numerous beaches, unspoilt hinterland, and relaxed lifestyle, Byron Bay is a popular tourist destination. Byron Bay is located just off the Pacific Highway, 800kms north of Sydney, 175kms south of Brisbane. The light that shines by night over Cape Byron Marine Park emanates from a tower as famous as the town of Byron Bay itself. Built at the turn of the 19th century to protect ships passing along the coast, Cape Byron Lighthouse stands resolute on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. Operated by resident keepers until 1989, its now automated light is clearly visible from Byron Bay township. You’ll enjoy some of the best views of the ocean and hinterland on the entire coast, including regular sightings...

STICKY FINGERS BY FRANCESCA BIANCHI

Imagen
A fragrance with a dangerously addictive character     My experience with Francesca Bianchi's perfumes is very limited as I don't own any but I have the luck to have a friend (actually one of my best friends) that loves Francesca's work and that he has all of Francesca's perfumes. As usual, Juan from Huelememucho  let me know in one of our calls that he already bought the new Francesca Bianchi's creation called Sticky Fingers and that I'd easily love it as per my liking and taste. He couldn't be more right as when we met a couple of days later and I tried the scent, I absolutely felt in love with it, it was love at first sniff straight like that. The quality, the love behind it, the complex process that I'm sure she went trough to conceive and balance this gem is very noticeable. You can feel some of the ingredients in a very close, reallistic and three dimensional way. The orris used in this formula is heavenly executed, the patchouli is exactly...
