THESCENTOLOGY

An enchanting and superb rich masterpiece that interacts with your soul and senses to create a state of fullness and satisfaction not explainable with words but only having the luck to experience its elegance While the whole world was experiencing the COVID-19 issue, my good friend Martin ( @thescentedcat ) and I were confined each one at his own home but maintaining the contact in a cyber way as usual. Amongst other topics, we were of course discussing fragrances (as always) and preparing our "care packages" as we do every once in a while to interchange some perfumes that we discover and that we think the other one could easily fall in love with and he told me that he'd going to prepare me a package including a piece that really caught my eye the day that I see him featuring it on his Instagram. Well, long story short, we interchanged our packages one on its way to Sweden and other coming to Spain all the way from Sweden. When I opened my package, amongst a lot ...

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.

A fragrance that contains much more than a scent itself but actually contains a summer aura inside THE PERFUME Found and grown in Southern Italy. Mandarin selection is dependant on the quality of fruit, the moment of harvest and the extraction process. The different qualities of essential oil has triggered interest in the creation of a fragrance that represents this fruit in its entirety. The Mandarino Di Sicilia has three unique fractions of essential oils; first from the green mandarin, a delicate and volatile oil that becomes heavier in the second transition and the third essential oil rounds off to a yellow mandarin. The fruits fragrance is different layers of olfactory notes stemmed from the flower, notes such as petigrain and neroli, to accords of geranium and ripeness of amber.

A delightful oriental scent  *Not my photo. Photo source: Internet Review based on a large sample obtained directly from Dior. Ambre Nuit is my favorite from the original La Collection Privée by Dior alongside Gris Montaigne (nowadays called Gris Dior). “Ambre Nuit orchestrates the meeting of two extremes. It is, to a certain extent, the olfactory expression of Beauty and the Beast. This perfume unites the somber, animal facet of amber with the delicate velvet effect of Turkish rose. It is, at the same time, a night wave of amber. Like when delicacy and strength dialogue, where opposites attract each other forming a powerful duo.” François Demachy, Perfumer-Creator Dior NOTES Amber, Rose. REVIEW Sparkling, crisp and fresh thin layer of bergamot wrapping the two clear protagonists of this truly sophisticated piece that will bewitch your soul with its deep and powdery grey amber and its oriental, luxurious, deep and velvety rose. Delicacy, refinement, q...

The notes reflect her complexity, regality and warmth of this perfume THE HOUSE Founded by Marissa Zappas, a perfumer and anthropologist, Redamance aims to establish a more expansive space for olfactive design in the arts, intellectual life, and personal expression. Redamance goes beyond traditional narratives prevalent in fragrance advertising. Utilizing the power of scent, we channel unconventional women in history who were unapologetically themselves. Redamance is derived from the word “redamancy” which means “the act of loving in return”, and it is our intent to link women of the past to women today through the transportive art of perfumery. Each fragrance is an homage and olfactive portrait of an overlooked woman from history who truly owned her complexities. Marissa Zappas is an anthropologist turned perfumer. Her work explores the history of perfumery as it correlates to the history of cemeteries and how perfume acts as an extension of the body. Marissa worked at...

Flamenco is art, deep and folk art, simple and torn, hypnotic and fiery ... art in its purest form! As per Ramón Monegal,   Flamenco is art, deep and folk art, simple and torn, hypnotic and fiery ... art in its purest form! And art is the true and only luxury that I recognize "Flamenco" is my olfactory manifesto, my origin, my heritage ... it is the soul of Spain, a hallmark, cultural symbol and essence of the south. Intoxicating emotion interpreted in cante, guitar and dance, a feeling that I imagine present under the magnetic spell of a night in the Alhambra. Steeped in this feeling, my challenge to get closer to art is to make it transcend perfume: Like a fan, with a broad language and undulating ritual, it starts and shows its strength by intertwining cedar wood from the atlas and Mediterranean pine. Like a flower, it displays the joy of the orange blossom in Seville, the passion of the red rose in Damascus and the irresistible sensuality of the jasmine under the...
