Elixir des Merveilles by Hermes

Fantastic and completely unisex even though it's labelled as "women fragrance"

 
A creamy, sweet and balsamic orange is the main character in this very well executed composition by Jean-Claude Ellena. It's thick/dense but at the same time has lightness, a bold and diverse creation which gives prominence to resins and woods. Spicy, dried citrusy, confited opening that gives pass to a drydown in which the orange (rather its peel) still is the main character but sinking into a resins, amber & woods sea resulting in an intense, spiced and aromatic, sweet orange that even has a vanillic vibe sometimes. Fantastic and completely unisex even though it's labelled as "women fragrance".

Notes: Peru balsam, Vanilla sugar, Amber, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Siam resin, Caramel, Oak, Incense, Orange Peel and Cedar.

Elixir des Merveilles de Hermes. Una naranja cremosa, dulce y balsámica es la principal protagonista de esta muy bien ejecutada composición por parte de Jean-Claude Ellena. Es gruesa/densa pero a la vez posee ligereza, una creación audaz y diversa que da protagonismo a resinas y maderas. Salida con citricos secos, especiada y confitada que da paso a un secado en el que la naranja (mas bien su cáscara) sigue siendo protagonista pero hundiendose en un mar de resinas, ambar y maderas, dando como resultado una dulce naranja intensa, especiada y aromática que incluso tiene algun deje avainillado por momentos. Fantastica y completamente unisex a pesar de ser catalogada como "femenina".

Notas: Balsamo del Perú, Azúcar avainillada, Ambar, Sándalo, Haba tonka, Pachuli, Resinas de Siam, Caramelo, Roble, Incienso, Cáscara de naranja y Cedro.

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...

Cafe Tuberosa by Atelier Cologne

Hyper realistic fresh coffee beans. One of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled Opening with the most realistic coffee note I've ever smelled merged with the typical citrus freshness of Atelier's DNA and heritage thanks to the mandarin and the bergamot. To the hyper realistic fresh coffee beans is added a tuberose that begins being green and becomes juicy and creamy as the time goes by to join a wonderful and syrupy rose, the cocoa and the vanilla, creating a sensual mix that I find super addictive The fragrance ends up resting on a base of cocoa, vanilla with floral nuances and aroma of coffee. This is probably one of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled. The longevity is fantastic and the sillage pretty good Once again a fantastic creation by Atelier, Bravo! Notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin, Guatemalan Cardamom, Rose Oil, Indian Tuberose, Coffee, Madagascar Vanilla and Cacao Pod. Apertura con la nota de café mas realista ...

AENOTUS by Puredistance Master Perfumes

Timeless elegance, beautiful contradictions and pure sophistication, the 21st Century sunshine representation in a bottle   THE PERFUME AND THE PERFUMIST "Embraces you with the sensation of a second skin or even, your own skin thanks to its luminous musks" How to reinvent the citrus aromatic genre and conceive the 21st Century sunshine representation in a bottle. This is exactly what came to my mind the first time I smelled AENOTUS .   A perfume that, despite its high percentage of perfume oil, highlights its softness, lightness and tenderness to be delicate and wore close to the skin to embrace you with the sensation of a second skin or even, your own skin thanks to its luminous musks. As per Puredistance website , "after an intense and fresh opening – transforms into a delicate scent, very close to the skin. Only those dear and near will be close enough to enjoy its subtle and intriguing character.   In Greek mythology, Aeolus is...
