Kiss My Name by Ramon Monegal blooms on the skin exuberant, glistening, like a ray of light bouncing between mirrors, creating the most delicious golden kaleidoscope, uncovering new facets with every angle of its rotation.
Aether Arts Perfume Black Hole, by Amber Jobin, (the third in the Pandemic series which includes The Space Between and Contact) poses an inherent contradiction: turning an exploration of the unknowable into fragrance. But Black Hole is more than an intellectual exercise of creating something out of the ultimate nothing; it is also a sly olfactory rendering of “all the craziness that was/is 2020-2021.”
The experience of Aedes de Venustas 16a Orchard is a bit like getting lost in a modern art gallery where all the exhibits are watercolour. The notes shimmer individually then merge, separating and joining in a continuous loop that makes me think of Calder’s elegantly kinetic pieces. Frank Voelkl has created a perfectly pitched composition in which is bright and scintillant one moment, dreamy and hazy the next. Its feel is neither urban nor nature but both.
Sagan Dalya by Maher Olfactive was quickened by raw material rather than having been inspired by tea. Shawn uncovered layers of fascination when he broke open a bottle of Siberian rhododendron oil: the possibilities began building upon themselves like bricks and mortar.
The idea for Jovoy Fire At Will EDP was to ask perfumer Vanina Muracciole to work on a vanilla. But a gourmand one, fruity more than leathery, mouthwatering…. A super seductive potion that the entire world will understand at first spray.
