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).

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. The sillage will envelop sunny days with rays of sunshine beaming down in the middle of an orange tangerine field dancing with the fresh fruit aroma. NOTES Green Mandarin Capua, Bitter Ora...

Another Jorge Lee gem based on re-imagining of the fresh lemon cologne (original Colognisé) kept on-hand in most Turkish households Since its debut last year, Nishane's Colognise- a lovely and invigorating re-imagining of the fresh lemon cologne kept on-hand in most Turkish households- has been an office favorite, a striking yet casual scent perfect for any situation. Now, with Safran Colognise, they've brought back the core of the fragrance with a pronounced dash of fiery saffron, and the result is strikingly unique- a fragrance with the delightful energy of the original, but a robust, exotic character all its own. Safran Colognise's bright, citrussy opening will be familiar to fans of the original, but it arrives right away with a twist all its own- the tropical juiciness of passionfruit, which helps open the palate to the rich spiciness of saffron, combined with pink pepper for a powerful heart that maintains an airy freshness- less herbaceous than its predecessor ...

A summer afternoon at the White Island El aire arrastraba el olor de cientos de kilómetros de campos llenos de romero, tomillo y salvia que se veían refrescados por la brisa que traía el mediterráneo aquella tarde de verano a la Isla Blanca. Una isla llena de naranjos, limoneros y flores blancas en plena explosión. La sensación era de paz, tranquilidad e inspiración. El aire arrastraba el aroma de Agua de Colonia de Hierbas Perfumes. The air was carrying the smell of hundreds of miles of fields full of rosemary, thyme and sage that were refreshed by the breeze brought by the Mediterranean sea that summer afternoon to the White Island. An island full of orange, lemon and white flowers in full bloom. The feeling was one of peace, tranquility and inspiration. The air was carrying the scent of Agua de Colonia by Hierbas Perfumes.

Acqua di Parma's take on Ambergris theme in their Ingredients Collection A fresh start with the typical AdP opening signature of the house with some sparkling citrus, rapidly starts to drydown with a leathery vibe more in a fur way than leather. Ambra's heart is composed of Ambergris accord, woods and labdanum. It's stale, musky and pungent. You wouldn't say this is from Acqua di Parma if you know the house as there's nothing brilliant, airy, clean, etc. in here. I don't know if the ambergris in here is natural or not, I suppose that due the regulations it's ambroxan but it definitely smells like the real thing. Una salida fresca típica firma de la casa de AdP, con algunos brillantes cítricos, rápidamente comienza a secarse con una sensación de cuero más en forma de piel que de cuero. El corazón de ambra es acorde de Ambar gris, maderas y ládano. Es duro, almizclado y acre. No dirías que esto es de Acqua di Parma si conoces la casa, ya que aquí no hay ...

A fragrance that provides you with a feeling of wellness and happiness   Refreshing opening with lime and orange that meet a fruity and floral heart of mango, coconut, pineapple, jasmine and rose. It's creamy and it's kinda sweet but not overwhelming and yet not suntan feel scent as other tropical fragrances and this is due to a very well blended and executed woody base. It's a fragrance that provides you with a feeling of wellness and happiness. Salida refrescante con lima y naranja que se encuentran con un corazón afrutado y floral de mango, coco, piña, jazmín y rosa. Es cremoso y es un poco dulce, pero no abrumador y, sin embargo, no tiene aroma a bronceador como otras fragancias tropicales y esto se debe a una base de madera muy bien mezclada y ejecutada. Es una fragancia que te proporciona una sensación de bienestar y felicidad. Check my review on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8CGKGBvwb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A luminous dynamism that celebrates life, inspires and opens up new vistas of expression As per Acqua di Parma website, Colonia Pura radiates a sensual masculinity, combined with a fresh energy and modern lightness. Crisp and sunny bergamot, combined with juicy orange notes and delicate petit grain accents, brings new light and air into the classical citrus structure of Colonia. Next comes a seducing and alluring vital energy at the heart. The floral lusciousness of narcissus and jasmine absolutes blends with the spicy notes of coriander in an unexpected balance. The warm and sophisticated accents of patchouli and cedar wood encounter at the base the delicate, yet persistent white musk notes. The result is a luminous dynamism that celebrates life, inspires and opens up new vistas of expression.

Minimalist and elegant Opens with bitter sweetened orange, with something like sugar but that remains bitter like the edt and accompanied by grapefruit. The orange is present at all times as the main protagonist and changing nuances as they change the notes that accompany it. It's an incisive and very bitter fragrance until the final phase of the drydown in which it loses enough of that bitterness to become more woody, dense and sweet spiced imo thanks to the benzoin. It has a mineral phase in the middle phase that makes it less earthy than its sister with edt concentration. It's minimalist and elegant. Long lasting and moderate projection. Notes: Grapefruit, Orange, Flint, Woodsy Notes, Oak Moss and Benzoin. Salida con naranja algo dulce, como azucarada pero que se mantiene amarga como el edt y acompañada por pomelo. La naranja está presente en todo momento como protagonista principal y van cambiando matices segun cambian las notas que la acompañan. Es una fragancia in...

A very good alternative for its value Despite finding this fragrance very linear and barely evolving still it's one of my favorite citrus in its range, genre and category.. The opening is perhaps a bit synthetic and sharp loaded with orange, neroli and orange blossom. The drydown, in spite of remaining synthetic, recreates in a fantastic way the aroma of the Neroli, it has that spiciness that many others forget and it feels earthy, slightly woody and with a touch of white flowers accompanied by vetiver. I don't detect the amber or the patchouli although perhaps those are the notes that make it apart from fresh, balsamic and with a sweetness that I'd say it's kinds caramelized. It's even soapy. The longevity in my skin is above average and heavy to moderate sillage as the hours goes by. Notes: Citron, Lemon, Bitter Orange, Orange Blossom, Neroli, Sichuan Pepper, Rosemary, Vetiver, patchouli and amber. A pesar de encontrar esta fragancia muy lineal y sin apenas...

Inspired in a walk throught the gardens of Ninfa in Rome   Sharp citrus fruits in the opening mixed with a rough fig leaf note. At the beginning of the drydown it develops from the hyper realistic citrus opening to a greenness made by that Fig leaf. Feels so herbal and refreshing. It continues evolving to a woody and resinous warmness almost smoky I could say that sweetens up enough the fragrance but never loosing its hesperide and citrus DNA. It's a fragrance that influences in your mood and state of mind bringing you a peace and quiteness that only the nature can bring you. Fabulous longevity and heavy to moderate sillage as the hours goes by. Inspired in a walk throught the gardens of Ninfa in Rome. Notes: Cedrat, Amalfi Lemon, Galbanum, Petit Grain, Fig Leaves, Mastic Resin and Woody Notes. Salida afilada cítrico-frutal mezclada con una áspera nota de hoja de higuera. Al comenzar el secado va pasando de la salida cítrica hiper realista a un verdor protagonizado por esa ...

This one goes straight to my top 3 fig based fragrances alongside Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma and Yesterday Haze by Imaginary Authors   THE PERFUME A little green and pulpy treasure unveiling its fragrant gems with a dynamic aromaticity. The lively accord of the sweet Tangerine, the Orange, the delicious harshness of Bergamot and the Lime gently blend with the fizzy sourness of Black Currant. The agreeable dryness of Orange Blossom and the indolic Jasmin unveil the luminous heart overflowing with Mediterranean aromas. The dry down reveals a woody sweetness, a precious gift from the presence of Cypress and the noble Cedar Wood. A delicious boisé epilogue, with the Fig representing the lightheaded freshness of summer holidays. NOTES Mandarin, Orange, Bergamot, Lemon, Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Cypress, Fig, Musk, Cedarwood. REVIEW The opening is a fig tree in all its glory, the roots, the wood, the leaves and of course the fruit but that t...

A fragrance inspired by the Greek God of thunder and sky A fragrance inspired by the Greek God of thunder and sky that opens with a lovely granny smith apple note with an almost imperceptible cardamom note and dries down with a marine aquatic with lavender and floral heart. It's quite strange as it doesn't smell as all the listed notes. I get the Granny Smith apple at the begining and then an aquatic, marine, fresh, floral, certainly woody and aromatic fragrance extremely similar to Paco Rabanne Invictus but less synthetic than Invictus. If you like that kind of fragrances you'd definitely love Zeus. A perfect scent for casual events and even for office environment. Long lasting longevity and moderate sillage. Notes: Cardamom, Green Apple, Lily of the Valley, Lavender, Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver. Una fragancia inspirada en el dios griego del trueno y el cielo que se abre con una encantadora nota de manzana granny smith con una nota de cardamomo casi imperceptible y se ...

A splash of freshness  Clementine California by Atelier Cologne is a very well build and blended citrus aromatic fragrance with lots of sparkling citruses🍊🍋, spices and some woodiness in the base. I felt in love with Atelier a few time ago and I honestly think that they're one of the best if not the best house when speaking about citrus fragrances. If you love fresh citrus fragrances and you didn't tried this one, you should do it as you'll fall in love. Notes: Mandarin, Clementine, Juniper Berries, Basil, Pepper, Star Anise, Sandalwood, Cypress and Haitian Vetiver. El buen tiempo a vuelto asi que necesitaba un buen chute de frescura. Clementine California de Atelier es una fragancia cítrica aromática muy bien construida y mezclada repleta de espumosos cítricos, especias y toques amaderados en su base. Me enamoré de Atelier hace tiempo y honestamente pienso que son de las mejores si no la mejor casa cuando hablamos de fragancias cítricas. Si te gustan las fr...

New in the Blu Mediterraneo Line Finally I had the opportunity to try the new release from my beloved Acqua di Parma called Chinotto di Liguria. This is out from the Blu Mediterraneo Line and it's their 8th fragrance. After a blast of citrus including the Chinotto bitterness containing the brand heritage and its DNA it quickly dries down to a quite and peaceful musky/powdery scent. Actually it isn't what I was expecting but I've to keep wearing it out. Family: Chypre loral. Notes: Orange, Mandarin, Chinotto, Jasmine, Geranium, Cardamom, Rosemary, Patchouli and Musk. Finalmente tuve la oportunidad de probar el nuevo lanzamiento de mi amada Acqua di Parma llamado Chinotto di Liguria. Incluida dentro de la linea Blu Mediterraneo es su 8° lanzamiento. Despues de una explosión de cítricos incluyendo la amargura del chinotto con todo el ADN y patrimonio de la casa, rápidamente da paso a un tranquilo y apacible secado polvoso y almizclado. Realmente no es lo que esperaba p...

A seductive soapy Tauer creation Fantastic citrus opening with an amazing and three dimensional candied clementine and mandarine with a hint of saltiness thanks to the ambergris. I perceive the Tauer vibe almost from the top which I adore. As the hours pass the scent starts to get a little bit warm and the result is a seductive soapy vibe with some sweetness and creaminess provided by the orange blossom, the tonka bean and the vanilla. Perfectly balanced and a super original clementine and mandarine scent with an amazing evolution from the scratchy beginning to the smooth warm base. One of my next purchases to keep increasing my Tauer collection. Fantastic longevity and Heavy to moderate sillage. Notes: Mandarin Orange, Clementine, Lemongrass, Orange Blossom, Ambergris, Haba Tonka, Vanilla. Fantástica salida de cítricos con unas sorprendentes y tridimensionales clementina y mandarina confitadas con un toque salado gracias al ámbar gris. Percibo el ADN que adoro de Tauer casi ...
