November and December is the Puredistance time of the year. Of course I'm wearing them during other seasons too, but for this dark months, one need something extra. And as it's also soon is Christmas I come to think of that the beautiful fragrances from this house are the ones to wear for the holidays. Below some suggestions:

Warszawa (Puredistance): I've worn the dark, mysterious, almost plummy Warszawa much during grey November. An elegant, high quality dark floral oriental, with vintage vibes, boardering to a chypre in the light spicy-fruity genre (think
Guerlain Mitsouko, original
Dior Poison and Tauer
Loretta).

Opardu (Puredistance): Even if Opardu is the ultimate perfume for spring, it has recently lightened the gloomy days up. It's a lilacperfume with many other facets (for example rose) and interesting twists, with something almost crystalized, slight gourmand.Opardu is not of the light, outdoor, airy variety, it has a much deeper texture and more body.

Sheiduna (Puredistance):The grey and gloomy weather demands some true quality and elegance to be defeataed. Sheiduna is a brilliant spicy, slight gourmand oriental with warm and boozy accords. There is also some almost refreshing, offsetting notes, almost like tea. Sheiduna is just superb and reminds me slightly of another gem from perfumer Cecile Zarokain
Kashnoir from Laboratorio Olfattivio.

M (Puredistance): An elegant, classical gentlemans leather fragrance but just as Marlene Dietrich with
Knize Ten, M could be worn by women too. A smooth and close to the skin variation of Hermès
Bel Ami.
And last but not least - the
luxurious Puredistance sample giftset is the perfect Christmas gift.
Thank's to Puredistance for contributing with samples to test over the years.
