The four new fragrances from Agonist Parfums are Arctic Jade, Black Amber, Onyx Pearl, and Vanilla Marble and while they are not as progressive as The Infidels or Liquid Crystal they do manage to have a Nordic vibe all their own.
I have continued to look forward to each new Laboratorio Olfattivo release and I took the time to become more familiar with Marie Duchene’s portfolio with Italian niche brand Nobile 1942.
