Another Antoine Lee super special piece that deserves to be worn in very special occasions   THE PERFUME AND THE PERFUMIST "Lie's talented hands and nose has a special sense for elegant, smooth, and evocative perfumes that you can close your eyes and portrait them in White, Black and Gold colors" The delicacy of this concoction is palatable, I find it perfectly unisex and actually I enjoy it wearing a lot, but I also portrait and imagine in my mind a bride wearing this super special piece in the most important day of her life, her wedding. It's a perfume that evokes innocence but confidence, serenity, cleanliness, mature attitude and why not confess it, I portrait that image because I was discussing it with my wife the first day that we get the luck to experience White and we came to the same conclusión with that thought. Actually seh told me, "If I knew White for the time that we get married, most likely I'd have wore it" instead of her ...

A perfume that has a connection with my soul like I've been knowing it and wearing it my whole life When it comes to rose, I feel like I'm playing home because of my devotion for all the perfumes conceived around the queen of the garden, so it's a note that makes me feel comfortable but at the same time, I'm very demanding and quite skeptical with rose based perfumes as they must have something that can act as a wow factor or element of surprise to make me fall in love like I am with others like Portrait of a Lady by Dominique Ropion for Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle, Rose Nacrée du Desert, the superlative rose by Thierry Wasser for the now extinct Les Déserts d'Orient collection by Guerlain, vintage Nahema, the unique and special PHI Une Rose de Kandahar by Andy Tauer, the super natural Pink Wood by April Aromatics in which the talented hand of Tanja Bochnig conformed a true experience around the rose, some of my attars especially Ward by Al Shareef Oud ...

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.

A perfume that you'll connect in an intimate way with April Aromatics was founded by Tanja Bochnig in New York and has been based in Berlin since 2008. The line includes a selection of natural perfumes and is based on a holistic approach. The name of the label, April Aromatics, was inspired by the perfumer’s birth month. Born on 1st April, she particularly loves this time of year, when nature is gradually re-awakening from its winter slumber and the scent of promise is in the air. A PERSONAL NOTE FROM TANJA BOCHNIG. I started April Aromatics because I had a deep desire to create perfumes from pure extracts that not only smell good, but also create an inner well-being and noticeably lift our senses. The scents from April Aromatics are able to take the receptive into a world of poetry. April Aromatics perfumes are unique and of very high quality. The use of naturally pure ingredients whenever available and the particularly gentle processing make it possible to preserve the origin...

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...

A true masterpiece and an artistic icon of modern-chic perfumery   THE PERFUME The version of Dior Homme  in the form of Dior Homme Parfum appeared in 2014. S tarting with the Olivier Polge fragrance in 2005, the whole Dior Homme line was always a favorite of mine and I consider them the best designer line EVER. Bearing in mind that I refer to it only considering the three main characters of this line, Dior Homme, Dior HOmme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum as I never took much care about the others (Sport, Eau, etc.). I've been buying bottle pf Dior Homme since it first came out in 2005 when I can barely understand it in terms of artistic values but I simply adore the smell of the perfume and the uniqueness that it gave me moreover in my office where I was "the guy who smells good". When I used to pull off Dior Homme, the phrase always turned into "the guy who smells differently good". At that time, being a 20 years old guy w...

This is the type of creation that makes me love this hobby Word of honor. In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code.
