Heliotrope Blanc (Oriza L.Legrand): Ok this one suits perfectly in my traditional gourmand sweet category. Fluffy, alamonds, powder and vanilla, this is cosiness and comfort at it's best. The smell recalls the sweetest of Easterbunnis.
Black Opium Edp (Yves Saint Laurent): I know I'm taken the risk to be written of as a serious perfumista by admitting that I feel very comfortable in Black Opium and I think it smells quite good. And so does also Mr Parfumista "This one smells better on you than many of the niche fregrances you're testing". Another one in the sweet territory.
Rosarium (Angela Ciampagna): A calming and contemplating, smooth rose incense, like taking a break sitting down in a small italian medival rual chapel a warm summerday.
Shermine (Huiteme Art): This furry iris/lavender with its very special almost chalky citrus note attracts compliments from those around. Perfect for the early wintery Easter of this year.
Marions Nous (Oriza L.Legrand): Recently I've been in an Oriza circle, I just can't get enough of the fragrances from this house. Marions Nous is a successful intepreation of an 1920s aldehyde fragrance. Sparkling, almost refreshing and in the same time with animalic notes lurking from it's depts. A fragrance which becomes better with each wearing.
Allure Sensuelle Edp (Chanel): A incrediable comforting fragrance in the Coco Mademoiselle - Coco Noir style but more fruity and with less patchouli Smoother and rounded compared to the former two, a forgotten gem in the Chanelline.
Ylang-Ylang Nosy Be Extrait (Perris Monte Carlo): Last but not least the beautiful, intense, glowing, sweet, flowery, vanillic interpretation of one of the most faithful flowery teammates of "parfums de femme" the ylang-ylang.
Happy Easter!
Hi I don't think I've ever commented on your blog but I really like your taste! Happy Easter to you. I haven't tried everything you've written about here but I love the Angela Ciampiagna and Shermine and as for Black Opium I agree it isn't that bad. In fact if I give it a few more testings I might even grow to like it!
SvaraRaderaHi Megan, thank you for your nice words.I like a wide varity of fragrances and I think many "mainstreams" are very well done and one should not neglect them just because they are common. Good luck with Black Opium :-),have you tested the new Dior Poison Girl? I havn,t and have to admit that I'm quite curios about it.Have a nice week!
