Antonio Alessandria Parfums Rusty Vibes x ÇaFleureBon + Corrupted Beauty Draw

Antonio Alessandria parfums rusty vibes

 Since 2010, my mission has been to create a “scented salon, where perfume is presented through an artistic lens. What does that mean exactly? Most of our present and former editors and contributors all have music, art, film, literature, photography and dance backgrounds; their experience  and appreciation of the arts is present in every article and review. Antonio Alessandria Parfums Rusty Vibes is the fourth in our CaFleureBon 10th anniversary bespoke fragrances.  As I did with Antonio  Gardoni of Bogue, I sent Antonio a photo from my friend, essayist and photographer Alex C. Musgrave. Readers often ask me what makes a great perfume; I often answer that every fragrance must tell a story on the skin. It must convey not only the perfumer’s story but the wearer’s as well.  Antonio Alessandria is one of independent perfumery’s greatest story teller. He was born and lives in the historical city of Catania in Sicily (Fara, Dies Aurorae are each recent perfumed “photos” of his childhood in Catania, Italy).

Antonio Alessandria

Antonio is well known in Europe, but if you are American, unless you attend Esxence or Pitti  Fragranze you might not be familiar with his body of work, under his own brand and for others. I always know a Antonio Alessandria perfume; his fragrances have his neo-baroque signature (think of the intense naturalism of Caravaggio for the 21st century). When composing Rusty Vibes for ÇaFleureBon, he inhabited not only Alex’s photo but our pages and what ÇaFleureBon meant to him. As all international fragrance trade shows are postponed until the fall 2020 or into 2021, let fragrance be your passport during COVID-19, let it unite us. It will not defeat us –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in Chief

“Rusty Vibes is my personal tribute Çafleurebon’s 10th anniversary. Since the beginning Çafleurebon has focused on perfumery as art, thanks to the vision of Editor-in-Chief Michelyn Camen. Bringing attention to the world of artistic perfumery is crucial in promoting the work and efforts of independents who believe  perfume as a way of  artistic expression. Ms. Camen inspires perfumers with her tireless efforts in exploring all aspects of olfaction, and along with team at CaFleureBon  creates olfactive landscapes of art and culture.

Alex C. Musgrave's study in yellow

Photograph used “Study in Yellow” in the creative process of the creation of Rusty Vibes by Alex C. Musgrave

The first time I saw the photo Michelyn sent me from Alex C. Musgrave, I had a feeling of corrupted beauty.  I didn’t see only dried flowers, but I immediately linked the photograph with the representation of iron flowers oxidizing and getting reddish and orange. The movement of the picture reveals a tension to the upper side and the flowers on the top have turned to rusty hues. So I imagined that rust could represent the completion of corrupted beauty. The bright light on the right side made me think of a mirror game: corruption on the left and transfiguration on the right. I felt in this photo a duality between purity and decay. This is the reason why I imagined Rusty Vibes to be a fragrance that would be a quest for beauty in the cycle of life, from purity to corruption. The cycle of life starts from a flower that becomes a fruit, then the fruit becomes ripe, before decaying. I envisioned the possibility to represent the beauty of both purity – the flower – and corruption – the ripe fruit. But I didn’t want to forget my first impression of rusty iron flowers and I tried to give the fragrance a slight sinful sparkle infusing the fruity notes with a sulphuric vibe. In the base I wanted a comfortable effect, enveloping and calming like pure beauty.

Conceptualizing Alex C. Musgrave’s photograph and extrapolating its deep meaning as a source of inspiration for the formulation of Rusty Vibes is a tribute to the mission of Çafleurebon in the world of artistic perfumery, but also a form of witness that perfumes and art are deeply linked. The inspiration of the quest for beauty is intrinsically related to the research conducted by Çafleurebon in the world of artistic perfumery: we both search for beauty in all forms of expression, from the purest to the more decadent.”-Antonio Alessandria

    Wonderful to see another fragrance created specially for Cafleurebon. I am not familiar with Mr. Alessandria’s work, but I would love to see what this one is all about. The notes sound right up my alley.
    EU. Thanks for the draw!

  • phoenixad says:

    This one seems awesome fruity vanilla at its finest. Would love to try. Thanks for the generousity good luck everyone.

  • RonaldJ says:

    It’s such a wonderful compliment to have a fragrance dedicated to your work. Bringing art forms of photography and perfumery together in perfect harmony. I’m puzzled where the ‘Rusty’ in Rusty Vibes comes from as I anticipated a description of a more metallic scent.

    I have not heard of Antonio Alessandria before, nor his perfumes, but am excited to learn more about both.

    I live in the EU (UK)

  • artistscent says:

    I’d love to be able to try Antonio’s latest creation, I really love his Nacra Blanche and Fara! I live in the EU (Budapest).

  • Iuno Feronia says:

    I am not familiar with the work of Mr Alessandria but I soon will, this perfume sounds perfect for a hot summer, like in Catania. Thanks for the draw, I live in Austria, EU.

  • Floris says:

    Purity – the flower – and corruption – the ripe fruit! The image that Antonio’s description leaves on the inside of my eyelids is the following. I see myself standing in a vineyard at the beginning of a line of vines. The head of the line is adorned by flowers, mostly roses but other wild flowers flourish there as well. From the side of an old windmill large hanging branches of jasmine dissipate an incredible wonderful odour. Suddenly time goes fast forward and in between the leaves of the vines green grapes start to show, they turn darker and start to shrivel and rot. Awful you would probably say but no. This is part of the circle of life. ‘Puriture noble’ it’s called and it gives one of the most delicious wines, like Sauternes! I’m not familiar with Antonio’s fragrances but I would really like some ‘Sauternes’ with my ‘foei gras’ here in Belgium.

  • impromptu1992 says:

    Rusty Vibes makes me think of powdery, dusty, red stained soil. Maybe it’s that feeling you get when you’re told that the reason Mars is red is because of rust when you’re a kid. Such an interesting proposition. Rust is the scent of retreat, of reclamation, of abandonment and forgetfulness. Fragments, flakey, ferrous.

  • odenihy says:

    I love the idea of the balance between growth and decay that Antonio has put into the fragrance. Very well thought out! I am not familiar with Antonio Alessandria Parfums .

    I live in Montana, USA. Thanks!

  • Trinity33 says:

    Such an interesting interpretation of that photo! I like the idea of searching for beauty in the process of life from purity to corruption. It unfolds and evolves as all organic things must. I love the Rusty Vibes name too as a nod towards the oxidation and decay of loved items. The notes sound lovely. Commenting from MD, USA.

  • wildevoodoo says:

    I love the name and the concept of this perfume! The life-cycle portrayed throughout the development of the fragrance is fascinating to me, and the name and the image of oxidizing flowers are very evocative. I’m familiar with Antonio Alessandria Parfums thanks to this website, but have not yet had a chance to try any of their offerings, and would love for Rusty Vibes to be my first! I am in the US 🙂

  • Dami says:

    I’ve been keeping my eyes out for this one considering how much I like the creations by Antonio Alessandria I’ve had the pleasure to try so far. I’m intrigued by the inspiration and by how special this fragrance is. The fact that it was especially made for Cafleurebon’s anniversary makes is even more unique. The notes sound decadent and intriguing. My two favorite fragrances by Antonio are Malia and Noir Obscur. I am in the USA.

  • INYA says:

    I liked the idea of rusty flowers, sounds so very unique. I have not tried anything from Antonio Alessandria Parfums, but would love to. Rusty Vibes is a beautiful tribute to CaFleureBon, congrats! Mich USA

  • Shamrock1313 says:

    Have never tried an offering from Mr. Alessandria, but the details & the effort to honor Cafleurbon is such a fantastic gesture. I don’t think I’ve tried a fragrance that went for the rusty vibe.
    Thanks for the giveaway

  • FC says:

    Rusty Vibes is a fruity composition in Italian style and Antonio’s tribute to Cafleurebon. Thanks for the draw. I am familiar with the brand but have not tried any perfume from it yet. US

  • Tim says:

    I like a lot the concept of a quest for beauty in the circle of life, from purity to corruption. The combination of fruity notes with a sulphuric vibe sounds fascinating. Have not heard of Antonio Alessandria Parfums before, thanks for the introduction to this brand. Regards from the USA.

  • Aethele says:

    Not just moments, feelings, scents, stories, colours and music, but an entire cycle of life in a bottle – what a brilliant idea of Antonio Alessandria creating Rusty Vibes. Rust, beauty and ” duality between purity and decay” with “a slight sinful sparkle”. I have from Antonio Alessandria Fàra and the iconic, nobleGattopardo. Must try the rusty iron flowers of Antonio. I live in the EU.

  • C K says:

    The concept behind the perfume of beauty purity and decay is really interesting. As is how its has been tied back to Cafleurebon and searching for beauty as well as the art of perfumery. I’d love to see how it has been expressed in scent form. I have read about Antonio Alessandria Parfums here in Cafleurebon a number of times the one that comes to mind most is Dies Aurorae because I remember some of the story of attending church with sweets in his pocket but have not tried any at this point. The notes of Rusty Vibes as well as the concept are really attractive to me. Commenting from CT USA. Thanks for the generous draw.

  • Giampaolo Baldoni says:

    I’m following Antonio Alessandria’s work since the very beginning, loving his style in creating fragrances that are evocative, perfectly balanced and deeply layered, unfolding their notes like the pages of a novel which tells stories of love, passion, tradition, emotion and describe nature in the most beautiful way.
    I have to admit that I like almost each one of his unique perfumes, with a soft spot for Nacre Blanche, Gattopardo, Fleurs et Flammes and Fara and I really hope to have the chance of wearing this exclusive perfume, the theme being one of my absolute favourites in perfumery: I imagine smelling waxy white petals and dark, fruity ripeness with slightly metallic undertones simbolizing the loss of innocence and the first thing that come to mind is Nana’ s character from the eponymous Zola novel. This one must be another beautiful story by Mr. Alessandria.
    Thanks for the chance, I live in Italy.

  • RobertQ says:

    This fragrance appears like an almost tropical get away in a bottle and since we can’t get away , and fragrance like that could transport me to where I wish I was.
    The notes combination sound so thought out and a beautiful blend.

    I’m not familiar with anything else unfortunately.

    I’m from Ireland, EU

  • Claudia M. says:

    I love Antonio’s style, the work he made until here. So I’m very, very curious to put my nose on this latest creation.
    Fruits, flowers, mineral touch….❤️

  • Amaziz89 says:

    Passion Fruit, Coconut, Ripe Tropical Fruits, Middle: Lily of the Valley, Jasmine, Yellow Flowers accord, Base: Blond Woods, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Incense, Amber,Milky Musks all the notes sound edible this is a house that I am not familiar with but I am intrigued by the concept and the bottle design as well as the fragrances. Thanks a million from the United Kingdom

  • Ozzyaziz says:

    ‘let fragrance be your passport during COVID-19, let it unite us. It will not defeat us. ‘ A beautiful description by Michelyn I am intrigued by the notes all the notes sound sumptuous. I am not familiar but I am curious and interested to find out more about the perfumer. Thanks a lot from the UK

  • Linda says:

    The meeting of Antonio Alessandria and Cafleurebon certainly generates something very beautiful, as both of us speak to us of beauty through the perfume.I am fortunate to know the fragrances of this perfumer, beauty, art and distinction.
    Linda EU

  • Tveta says:

    With all those wonderful notes like coconut, tropical fruits, passion fruit, tonka and vanilla it sounds more like a tropical cocktail, than a perfume. It seems so edible and drinkable at the same time.
    Count me in for everything that has coconut in it.
    EU

  • Sarah Colton says:

    I live in Paris and it has been a pleasure to watch Antonio and his brand grow and mature over the years after meeting him first at Pitti or Esxence. Antonio is a gifted perfumer and it’s not surprising that he wrote such an interesting interpretation of Alex Musgrave’s photo. Makes me think the fragrance draws a balances between the vulnerable beauty of the flowers, which even in the beginning of decadence are still powerful as iron while evoking some some dry, bitter-sweet memories I definitely want to try it.

  • aurora_ru says:

    I agree that Antonio Alessandria is “one of independent perfumery’s greatest story teller”, recently his creation Malia for Nobile 1942 blew my mind, that is such an exceptional story, try it, if you can! After Malia I ordered samples of Dies Aurorae and Fara, I like them as well (I tested both just once). This one appeals to me with its name, fruity notes and idea of rustiness and corruption.
    I live in the EU and want to participate! Thank you!

  • abbie road says:

    this fragrance sounds lovely – rusty vibes. I’m drawn to the notes – love fruity fragrances and this one sounds as if it has an edge. I’m not familiar with Antonio’s work. I live in the usa.

  • Perl says:

    It has some of my most beloved notes (vanilla, tonka and coconut) and I have not tried anything from Antonio yet, but it would be a great start with this one, especially since it is a perfume dedicated to this blog.
    EU

  • Davis says:

    I have read Antonio Alessandria and he’s so highly regarded. I have a sample of Rudis from Nobile 1942 but only read about him or seen videos on his own brand. What struck me was that the details of the photo with its rusty colors influenced his life cycle idea for Rusty Vibes
    I live in the USA
    Are there samples at Indigo Perfumery ?

  • serephia says:

    I’m not familiar with his work, but its interesting to think of fragrances as telling a story. This particular one, flowering, fruiting, decaying, is a great one to tell. It looks perfect for the upcoming warmer seasons and I would be interested to try it. USA.

  • IvanVelikov says:

    “I didn’t want to forget my first impression of rusty iron flowers and I tried to give the fragrance a slight sinful sparkle infusing the fruity notes with a sulphuric vibe.”
    You got my attention. I like slightly going bad fruits in perfumery . The metallic addition will balance the fragrance in a nice way, not allowing it to become super sweet.
    I do have a favorite Antonio Alessandria fragrance, it’s called Noir Obscure. I have smelled all at Luckyscent , and Noir Obscure was the best one. All Antonio Alessandria fragrances were available at Luckyscent, but not anymore. I’m glad they found a new home in USA at Indigo Perfumery.
    Thank you. USA

  • sarabrika says:

    Never heard of Antonio Alessandria’s work before , but I would be pleased to have a bottle of this. I think is a very interesting mix of notes that would fit perfectly to my collection.
    A great work!

  • xoe says:

    The contrasting beauty of purity and decay is perfect inspiration for a fragrance. I would love to try this while looking at the photograph. I have not tried Mr. Alessandria’s work. I am in the US

  • Shibics says:

    Since I am not familiar with Antonio’s perfumes, there is something Michelyn said that made me really curious – that she always recognize one of his perfumes. Also curious about the rusty vibe – how does it actually smell?
    I live in EU.

  • Barber82 says:

    Never been to Catania, but my girlfriend is half Italian, and her grandmother is from the region.
    Antonio Alessandria is completely new house to me , I need to check them out. How artistic Rusty Vibes is, I’ll have to check myself.
    Thank you all
    USA

  • Timea says:

    I would very love to try this tropic fragrance. It sounds so amazing from the base of the notes. I heard about a lot of good things about the brand. Thank you for the chance. I live in Europe.

  • Salem says:

    Loved the duality described in this perfume, the contrast between freshness and decay, ripeness and rust, life and death. The tropical notes intrigue me, don’t get to see those often in niche perfumery. I am still fantasizing about Antonio Alessandria’s Dies Aurorae. I am in the EU.

  • harper says:

    this sounds very interesting indeed. corrupted beauty — mmmm.

    no, i don’t know m. allesandro’s work. and i am in the us.

    p.s. i am very happy to see that the silver fox is still out and about — greetings 🙂

  • ancaan says:

    Haven’t tried anything from Antonio Alessandria Parfums and Rusty Vibes sounds very interesting (love the name, btw). The circle of life in a perfume, how beautiful! I`m in EU.

  • QuentinMathieu says:

    I love Antonio Alessandria’s work. I really like “Fara” from the same house, and it’s probably one of the few “freshies” I can tolerate. The cumin note brings the fragrance to another level. Again, the notes of Parfums Rusty Vibes sound amazing, and I’m really looking forward to trying it. Thank you for this giveaway!

  • Stefan Cretu says:

    Thank you for the draw! Antonio Alessandria Dies Aurorae on my wishlist for a while now. Really eager to try this house, heard only good things. Hello from Romania!

  • doveskylark says:

    I always love that this site explores art along with fragrance–they are intertwined. Of course they are: fragrance is art. I love the notes that explore purity and corruption. I am especially intrigued by the sulphuric vibe. I am familiar with the lovely, velvety dark Noir Obscur.
    I live in the USA.

  • Naomi says:

    This is my first time hearing of Antonio Alessandria Parfums, but I love the mission: to search for beauty in all its forms of expression. Would to love to experience their interpretation of beauty in Rustic Vibes.

  • mleenstra says:

    The interpretation of Antonio Alessandria of study in yellow by Alex C. Musgrave is so creative. A still life doesn’t have to be a still life; there is still something to happen in this case the flowers will bloom and then decay. The composition of Rusty Vibes sounds less rusty than I’d imagined, but I definitely get the ‘vibes’ seeing all those tropical notes. However, I’m sure there is a twist which will make this perfume not quite what you expect. I’m intrigued… I have never tried Antonio Alessandria’s creations, but I’d love to. Marit UK

  • Jake Dauod says:

    I think Rusty Vibes embodies the art of fragrance. As photos are a big part of Antonio’s body of work, the fragrance was clearly made to transport your mind and to help envision something aside from the fragrance. It sounds very transportive and I believe it will let my mind roam through ideas of what the beauty of the cycle of life looks like. I am sadly not familiar with Antonio Alessandria Parfums, but I would definitely love to try them. Kind regards from Illinois, USA.

  • Hashim Madani says:

    Would love to try the fruity floral vanilla vibes in Rusty Vibes; it would be a great opportunity to get acquainted with Antonio Alessandria Parfums. VA, USA.

  • helenlam says:

    I have to admit, the interpretation of fragrances via various art forms is what I really love about the reviews on this site. The imagery that is painted is always so much more than a dry list of notes. I loved seeing the picture and hearing how Antonio interpreted it. I’ve never tried anything from the house before. I live in the USA. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Riv says:

    What a special scent 🙂 Rusty flowers is such a unique idea, I actually cannot imagine how this would smell. So far I have not had the pleasure of trying Antonio Alessandria creations (yet).

    I am in Finland, EU.

  • Ole18 says:

    Wow, ripe tropical fruits plus yellow flowers sounds so wonderful, something that make me think of a vacation somewhere exotic, which sadly not many of us will have the possibility to enjoy this year. I have visited Antonio’s boutique a couple of years ago, wish he sold discovery sets though as I think his fragrances need time to get to know them better. Greetings from Romania.

  • Paeonnia says:

    The smell of rust reminds me of the sea and sailing. i wonder how that?s translated to fruits and flowers?

    I haven’t had the pleasure of trying out any of Antonio Alessandria Parfums, yet. Hopefully, some day, maybe if I am lucky enough to win this draw. The ,”Study in Yellow” photo is beautiful and Michelyn’s introduction to Antonio Alessandria Parfums was wonderful. Antonio Alessandria’s description of how he constructed the perfume based on the photograph was very interesting – especially where he says “I felt in this photo a duality between purity and decay. This is the reason why I imagined Rusty Vibes to be a fragrance that would be a quest for beauty in the cycle of life, from purity to corruption. The cycle of life starts from a flower that becomes a fruit, then the fruit becomes ripe, before decaying.

But I didn’t want to forget my first impression of rusty iron flowers and I tried to give the fragrance a slight sinful sparkle infusing the fruity notes with a sulphuric vibe. In the base I wanted a comfortable effect, enveloping and calming like pure beauty.” It seems to be a very olfactory, artistic creation, the kind Cafleurebon stands for and behind. Thanks for the draw and the review. Writing from USA.

    Sounds like a perfect fragrance for summer, and it’s the first time hearing about Antonio Alessandria parfums
    from EU

  • Sngash says:

    It’s great to hear the perfumer’s interpretation of the photo and also gives one a deeper appreciation of something as simple as light effects. I’m also rather intrigued by the fact that the fragrance features passion fruit and ripe tropical fruits and imagine this to be a delightful gourmand. Thank you for the review and the giveaway. I’m in USA

  • MariaA says:

    Such a lovely tribute to Cafleurebon’s 10th anniversary! The idea of Rusty Vibes is very intriguing as an interpretation of corrupt beauty!

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I would love to try this as Antonio is perfume’s best story teller. Obviously not mass produced or produced for the masses. Love the connection with Cafleurebon. USA.

  • NiceVULady says:

    I’m not familiar with Antonio Alessandria’s work. I focused on his intense review of the picture and and that translation into Rusty Vibes. Very interesting. Thank you so much for the article and the draw. I’m in the USA

  • audesko1 says:

    I am not familiar with Antonio Alessandria parfums. The descriptions and ingredients are beautiful. I especially like this statement “Rusty Vibes to be a fragrance that would be a quest for beauty in the cycle of life, from purity to corruption. “Thank you for the chance to try. USA

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    I like semi gourmands that are more complex, different, and changing, and not too juvenile . Rusty Vibes fits the bill perfectly with its fruity-rusty combination.
    Do I have a favorite Antonio Alessandria perfume? YES and NO , and I’ll explain. If you’re asking if I I have favorite fragrance from “Antonio Alessandria” fragrances, no I do not , I was not able to find them both in the States and in UK/EU , and believe me I tried hard. I presume some reorganizations are happening in the company.
    But if you’re asking do I have a favorite fragrance created by Antonio Alessandria, I sure do. It’s Rudis from Nobile 1942 . Underrated house, and underrated fragrance I own.
    I’m excited to try Antonio Alessandria and Cafleurebon collaboration.
    Beautiful draw, thank you.
    Still I can’t back to my usual routine of back and forth between USA and EU/UK .
    Cheers from VA… only.

  • smm13 says:

    I like the idea of a full life cycle in a perfume. It seems like the focus is usually on a spring like blooming quality, so I like the idea of a beginning, middle, and end in a calming and all encompassing scent. I live in the USA.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Sicily Italy, ripe fruits, vanilla ? If you ever been in Sicily, and you know local cuisine you’ve most likely eaten Cassata , the locals called it Cassata Siciliana . Traditional cake from the region I’m thinking right now after reading Rusty Vibes review.
    I like reading others stories, cycle of life we all go through, the point is what we’re living behind.
    I don’t know the brand, but I’ll be happy to explore it.
    Appreciate the review, and the giveaway
    USA

  • Malina says:

    I am intrigues by the opening notes of tropical magnificence and how they would change as time passes by.
    Antonio’s photos of the fragrance are superb and offer an imagine of richness, of a beautiful set table with flowers and fruits somewhere in an exotic destination. It is a type of moment where happiness goes all around.
    I would be so interested to smell this perfume.
    I live in Romania (EU)

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    I love the idea of interpreting the span of purity to decay. I am not familiar with Antonio Alessandria but the notes in this fragrance sound amazing! I have been so grateful for Cafleurebon, especially during this tumultuous time and is so lovely to see all of these fragrances created for and inspired by this wonderful resource. Thank you for introducing me to this perfumer and for the draw. I am in the US.

  • petergigov says:

    Wow background story of Rusty Vibes is remarkable. To make a fragrance in such an unusual way , I’m watching Alex Musgrave photography’s at the moment. Fragrance itself sounds really good too .
    Purity…corruption…ripe fruits? I’m intrigued.

  • sowa says:

    Sulphuric vibes, iron flowers oxidizing, rusty hues, corrupted beaty, duality between purity and decay… Sounds fantastic. I know Noir Obscur and like it a lot. Gattopardo and Dies Aurorae still on my list to try. I live in the EU.

  • DespinaVnt says:

    What a blessed artistic collaboration between these two talented gentlemen!
    Mr. Alessandria has so eloquently expressed his train of thought and inspiration that derived from seeing Mr. Musgrave’s photo, that it makes one most eager to discover the fragrance he created.
    The choice of photo by Michelyn was itself inspired.
    I’ve yet to discover Mr. Alessandria’s work, and I’m looking forward to it.
    Thank you, and love from France (EU).

  • Sulnaso says:

    One of the reasons I follow Cafleurebon because it was apparently clear from the first article, I read that the reviewers and the editors appreciate the humanities. It is what sets Cafleurebon apart from other sites. Cafleurebon’s ability to bring about a collaboration between two artists of differing mediums, a photographer and a perfumer says demonstrates the influence Cafleuerbon has in the fragrance community and the broader artists community. I was put on to Antonio Alessandria Parfums from Sebastian Jara’s YouTube channel. I’m here in California hoping looters don’t touch Tigerlily or ZGO in SF. Thanks for the draw.

  • Sérgio Rodrigo Teixeira says:

    Wow. Great ideia and concept. Loved the notes and the vibe of the composition…very sensual and artistic. Not at all familiar with Antonio’s work, sadly. I’m from Portugal. Thanks for the chance.

  • Onyinye says:

    I’m not familiar with Antonio Alessandria’s parfums. Yes, it’s a compliment to have a perfume created with your image in mind. I’m sure the fragrance smells wonderful… from purity to corruption.

    I doubt I’ll ever smell this one but I love the relationship that Cafleurebon has with artists and independent perfumers. It’s clear that they love Cafleurebon too. Thank you for bringing these unique creations to our attention. It’s always fun to read. I’m in the US.

    First time I’ve heard Antonio Alessandria Parfums was on Sebastian YouTube channel. I remember he did a 10 minutes interview with Antonio Alessandria, I don’t remember if it was from Pitti , or Esxence…
    According to SilverFox and Michelyn , Rusty Vibes should be grown up artisanal fragrance, fruity and metallic. Artistic indeed, without crossing the line.
    All year round scent, if it ask me.
    Unfortunately I have not smelled Antonio fragrances.

    I am not familiar at all with Antonio Alessandro’s Parfums. I love his interpretation of the photo! I loved the photo and saw it differently than my first impressions as well. Very nicely done! By combining the senses, we then tend to see differently.

    I love how Antonio came to his theme. Starting with oxidizing flowers, and the bright light showing a type of circle of life. A warm and comforting base, after floral and ripe flowers….I’m not much familiar with passion fruit as a note. This is all very interesting. Thanks for the opportunity! I live in New Hampshire USA!

    I have yet to try any of Mr. Alessandria’s scents but rusty vibes sounds intriguing with notes of tropical fruits and flowers. California, USA

    Top quality natural smelling fruity floral, with rust nuances. We are indeed search for beauty in all forms basically all our lives, but we get to different results and answers. What answer I’ll get from Rusty Vibes I could only guess.
    I go to … used to go to be precise, to fragrance meetings twice per month, where all should bring brand new, or relatively unknown fragrances. I have smelled two Antonio Alessandria fragrances Nacre and Noir Obscur there. I do admit Nacre is not my cup of tea. Noir Obscure at the other hand was really good both on paper, and on skin. Warm Oriental I’ll gladly wear myself.
    Thank you for the opportunity.

    If anyone can translate art into a scent called Rusty Vibes it would Antonio. I have had the honor of meeting Antonio in Dubai and have always admired his unique and daring work. I can’t think of anyone better to honor 10 years of Cafleurebon! Thank you and Indigo Perfumery for this draw. I’m in the US.
