I don’t know why it seems different perfumers all seize on a specific note at around the same time but the number of very good gardenia fragrances I’ve been enjoying lately makes me extremely happy. Add the new Arquiste Parfumeur Boutonniere No. 7 to my list.
DSH Perfumes Arome d’Egypte is an all-natural perfume constructed around spikenard. Many have tried to capture the beauty of the ancient land of the Pharaohs or the dry desert-like austerity and enticing opulence of this era. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has done it flawlessly.
Perfumer Shelley Waddington of En Voyage is introducing two fragrances for the fall and winter seasons. She was inspired by the spiritual significance of the marigold flower in the rituals of Nepalese and Latin cultures, and named the fragrances Tagetes Femme and Tagetes Homme.
I really look forward to finding a new fragrance to go on my “black tie” shelf. The new release from Parfums M. Micallef Style is going to be a new addition to that shelf.
With Lightscape, Ulrich Lang wanted to create a fresh sophisticated fragrance. What sets Mr. Lang apart is he chooses to look for fresh in the notes of violet and iris.Somehow with Lightscape Mr. Lang has harnessed the glow within both of those notes and coaxed them to shine brilliantly.
