The Winners of June’s Spilled Perfume
To claim this month’s spilled perfume, you needed to match the CafleureBon editor with the corresponding back up perfume bottle in their collection
Phaedon Paris Perfumes -The Winner
The Phaedon aesthetic is to go for simple constructions with unique ingredients and most of these fall into conventional places on the perfumed continuum
JoAnne Bassett Rose Smoke and Rose Kiss Perfume Coffret -The winners
I also received a copy of JoAnne Bassett’s new book “Sacred Scents”. As I sniffed my rose-coated wrists again and again while reading her words, it made me feel what the author was saying
Atelier Cologne Silver Iris and Gold Leather -The winners
The new Atelier Cologne Absolues take their cues from the metals in their name as Gold Leather is warmer and Silver Iris is brighter
Ex Voto Paris Eau de Lux Ginger and Eau de Lux Amber -The Winner
I liken these two to the1974 movie version of The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, not the Baz Luhrmann 2013 version.
Natural Perfumery as Olfactive Art – The Winner of Strange Invisible Perfumes Mini Bar
Some say that I “limit” myself to a natural palette, but I don’t feel limited at all. I source hundreds of exceptional ingredients from all over the world. Each originates from a different corner of the globe and carries a different story.-Alexandra Balahoutis, SIP
