If it doesn’t stain, you may like to apply some perfume on the collar or cuff or scarf. Wearing long pants? Take a tip from Greek philosopher Diogenes, who preferred to anoint his feet. He said “When you anoint your head with perfume, it flies away in the air and birds only get the benefit of it, whilst if I rub it on my lower limbs it envelopes my whole body and gratefully ascends to my nose.perfume
One of the things I like about Brent Leonesio the creative mind behind Smell Bent is he takes that statement and manages to make serious perfume without taking it too serious. His latest winter collection dubbed The Snowman Cometh is an example of that ethos.
Aromatic woods provide some of the most important notes in perfumery. Although often described as ‘woody’, other adjectives may include buttery, balsamic, creamy, sweet, lemony or even floral. Follow us into the woods for eight fairytale draws: April Aromatics, BellyFlowers, House of Matriarch, JoAnne Bassett, M.Miccalef,Nez a Nez, One Seed Company, and Xerjoff
No matter how diligent I am; no matter how careful I am, I just can’t try every single perfume I hear about. Like everything in life I feel that if it is our destiny to meet around a flacon one day it will happen. My latest meeting with delayed gratification is with perfumer Maria McElroy. Which was why when Ms. McElroy offered me the opportunity to review her first new fragrance in five years, Aroma M Geisha Amber Rouge, I jumped at the chance.
