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 ...

An icon and a reference in perfumery THE PERFUME Guerlain, 1925, Jacques Guerlain. Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan fell head over heels in love with Princess Mumtaz Mahal. He had the splendid Gardens of Shalimar built for her, and later dedicated the Taj Mahal, one of the new seven wonders of the world. This incredible story inspired the imagination of Jacques Guerlain, who in 1925 created Shalimar, the first oriental perfume. Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means "temple of love" in S anskrit, symbolizes the promise of eternal love. It is a fragrance of desire. With its passionate and slightly insolent character, this emblematic oriental fragrance in the history of perfumery embodies the sensuality of caress with a touch of the forbidden. "To wear Shalimar is to be dominated by the senses," said Jacques Guerlain. In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Gu...

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".

An unusual and unique composition Few places on the planet have a closer relationship to the sun than the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, the Bride of the Red Sea, gateway to Mecca and Medina. To honor a great city that is both religious epicenter and vacation destination, cultural capital and center of commerce, Stéphane Humbert Lucas chose to focus the one element equally present and central to all endeavors, and contained within the brilliant gold-metallic bottle is a sun-drenched, rapturously bright citrus-floral that gradually evolves to reveal hidden depths of Russian leather, Madagascar vanilla, buttery iris, and earthy amber. Like the multi-faceted city of Jeddah itself, the reasons for going and the reasons for staying may be entirely different. The initial brightness of Soleil de Jeddah is a thing of unapologetic beauty: tart, juicy lemon, pillow-soft Roman chamomile, and an exquisite osmanthus so mouthwateringly jammy that we've variously detected peach, apricot, lychee...

  A piece of cult of the modern perfumery SAVAGE SEX APPEAL Musc Ravageur enhances the magnetic aspect of musk with amber, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood, at the total exclusion of floral notes. Read More Having caused a scandal when the perfume first appeared in 2000, Musc Ravageur is now celebrated in all its sensuousness as the Sistine Chapel of the Amber Oriental tradition. An unapologetically sexy perfume. REVIEW A slightly animalic musk surrounded by a spicy veil and balmed in the most precious resins paired with an intoxicating fluffy warm vanilla base.

A palatable and mouthwatering mix A palatable and mouthwatering mix of dry cocoa and vanilla creating an almond-y accord which is simply fantastic to my nose.
