In many ways Hr. Tauer is emblematic of what can be achieved when a perfumer chooses to follow his own path. With Carillon pour un Ange Hr. Tauer has taken flight, as if on the wings of angels.
My favorite scents for summer are aquatic, reminiscent of suntan oil, and smell of citrus. So grab yourself an orange, put on your sunscreen and join me on the beach this summer. All it requires is a spritz.
There are few perfumers who have a signature style. One is is Olivia Giacobetti. Mme. Giacobetti also has an undeniable architecture to her fragrances, that of sheerness in beauty.Mme. Gicobetti returns with three new ‘green’ fragrances for Honore des Pres dubbed the “We Love NY” collection. The fragrances are packaged in that most disposable of New York City commodities the take-away coffee cup. While the packaging around this collection could be termed disposable, or common, the fragrances inside are not. Mme. Giacobetti’s We Love NY collection for Honore des Pres accurately captures many of the more pleasant smells of New York City and if one is up for an unusual olfactory tour your first step should be to acquire these fragrances
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has created fragrant jazz with her work on The Mystery Of Musk project and it is beautiful music of the most fragrant kind.
If you would like to take the same journey I’ve described for yourself, all of these versions are available on Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s website (https://www.dshperfumes.com/ ) in 30% perfume concentrations. I found all of them to have excellent longevity and modest sillage
In many ways Temple of Musk is the heads to Musc Botanique’s tails. Musc Botanique is the fragrance that captures the darkness of musk and the Hour Of The Wolf; Temple of Musk captures the brightness of musk and it is like standing in a Temple Of The Sun to greet the new day and all of the possibilities inherent in that.
Reminder: Temple of Musk is the bottle we are giving away at Cafleurebon
One of the perfumers who I have been wanting to try for a while is JoAnne Bassett. In Sensual Embrace Ms. Bassett chose to have her musk accord behave more like a promise of delights to come, and after the musk has enticed you in, the remains of Sensual Embrace fulfill that promise.
