Esxence is always abuzz with activity: a teeming hive of bloggers, vloggers, journalists, photographers, perfumers, creative directors, distributors, passionate perfumistas – name one, come all. CaFleurebon is in its 8th year as an Official Media Sponsor, and 2019 Esxence was Sr Editor Ida Meister’s first “official” reporting (although she has visited before but by no means was she unrecognized, she was stopped by many associates/friends/perfumers). With two hundred booths + at 2019 Esxence, we only made it to less than half in three days. Best Releases at 2019 Esxence: Perris Monte Carlo’s Jean-Claude Ellena soliflores captivated both of us. Michelyn agrees and add Masque Milano Kintsugi, Aether Arts Suprae (synthetic exploration of patchouli using an overdose of Akigalawood – a Givaudan capture), Etat Libre D’Orange Experimentum Crucis by Quentin Bisch, Homoelegans Like a Jewel which explores Freddie Mercury from top to bottom notes (Luca Maffei) and Nishane Nefs,  a modern oriental that wins best presentation at 2019 Esxence from Michelyn. This is an Oriental that is boozy, with touches of honey, fig and florals. Thanks to many perfumers and Houses  (most represented here) who generously gave us extra samples of over 30 fragrances that were introduced or exhibited at Esxence 2019 we have a draw for a registered CaFleureBon reader for the EU, USA and Canada for a lovely gift bag of new or soon to be released perfumes from 2019 Esxence.
