Women had freed themselves of the stifling layers of clothing and now wore simpler fashion but with that casual elegance I am talking about. This concept has been shoved to the front of my mind because of the new release from Puredistance called Opardu. It has an amazing amount of sophistication and a vintage vibe while still feeling relevant for the present day.
When the sample comes from one of my favorite perfumers, like Pierre Guillaume, I just spray with abandon like diving into the deep end of the pool
When I heard Neil Morris had a new Earthtones scent, and that I was receiving a sample, I was overjoyed as I was already in love with North Woods (Earthtones #3)! When I heard it was a “tropical lagoon” scent; however, I was less than enthused.
What is the sign of a true perfumista? A bottle of one of Memo Paris’s exclusive fragrances sits on your dresser. This year, Scott and Clara Molloy, the founders of Memo introduce two fragrances- Quartier Latin is the one that debuts September (Luxor Oud is the other more information soon).
Fields of Rubus is definitely more “yin” (darker, cooler, elegant and more feminine), yet has that small amount of more intense yang in its core. Wood Haven captures more of the “yang” (brighter, spicier, more Spartan and masculine).
A few months ago, I was sent a sample of perfume by Maggie Mahboubian of Parfums Lalun called Acqua di Callitis. I unearthed the sample she had sent me and decided to give it a try. I am glad I waited, because it is the perfect scent for right now, when I have a few coveted warm days ahead.
