Sniffapalooza Before and After: A Scented Slice of The Big Apple
So Mark and Ida have filled your head with some of the sugarplums – excuse me – new releases – introduced at last week’s Sniffa and I wonder why neither spoke of the before and after.
Azagury Perfume: Rule Brittania + British Style Draw
Azagury Perfume like its namesake exudes a distinctive British style that those who enjoy Miller Harris or Penhaligon’s would easily recognize. Like Mr. Azagury’s fashion it also has a uniqueness which adds to that national foundation
Mom’s Moondance by Guest Contributor Anya McCoy of Anya’s Garden + “Van Morrison” Draw
MoonDance was created to celebrate my birthday, and was released on that day, October 5. My adult life was graced with Van Morrison’s beautiful, soaring song Moondance, which called out for me to honor it with a natural perfume
soOud Burqa: Beneath the Veil + LuckyScent Draw
Earlier this year in NYC at Elements, I barely had the opportunity to thoroughly examine the soOud collection…
I was captivated by Stéphane Humbert- Lucas- that too-handsome rascal nose for both Nez à Nez and soOud.
Last weekend – during Sniffapalooza’s Spring Fling- I was able to devote more time to the lot…and I did.
Several fragrances caught my nose- but only one did I purchase and that one was Burqa.
The Winner of Le Labo Santal 33 Sample
While you won’t catch me lighting up a Marlboro after a hard day’s work, it is very likely you might find me spritzing Le Labo Santal 33 as I relax in the evening.
Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane: Flankers Aweigh
Because of the success of both A*Men Pure Coffee and Pure Malt I eagerly awaited the next release in this series and A*Men Pure Havane has arrived and continues the winning streak for this series. When one thinks of Havana, Cuba there are probably two olfactive notes one would bring to mind; rum and tobacco. Jacques Huclier takes the latter note as the new accent for this version of A*Men.
