Scent of boredom. A Bouquet of joy


"produced in collaboration with Olivier and Erwin Creed, Acqua Fiorentina is the interpretation given by the father-son team of the era of 'rebirth', which had an enormous effect on ' art, literature and education of Western Civilization. " So the press release announcing the latest fragrance by Creed produced by the French company.
is to imagine the smell of Lorenzo de 'Medici and the ladies of his court: young bodies, washed in baths of Porretta and sprinkled with rose water, distilled essence of iris by the monks of Santa Maria Novella, rosemary' s Queen of Hungary water, maybe some first experiment with bergamot and lavender, which he later gave rise to the Water of Cologne. And then there will have been the hot smell of horses, the smell and the new leather scrolls of ancient manuscripts, recovered from the libraries of the convents, a little 'incense-soaked and moldy. And we are surprised by the strange fumes of sulfur, saltpeter and other gadgets used by alchemists, perhaps there was some attempt new to distill essences, led by a young man named Leonardo and the original was from the village of Vinci.
olfactory charm of this level and quality could lead to a truly innovative fragrance, a "Renaissance" art of perfumery, olfactory version of Botticelli's Primavera.
water instead Fiorentina (name probably decided by a marketing expert) is a simple floral fruity, typical of the turn of the century (the nineties), harmless, unable to arouse intense passions and dislikes. Okay as a summer scent for a girl who does not want to bother anyone and is willing to spend € 130 for something you can buy less than a tenth. (***)
Dewberry's Body Shop, in fact, is an honest and fruity floral oil from about € 10, but for some reason I have not yet figured out, I send a lot more fun and energy. Perhaps it is because it opens with a very joyful note of red fruit and grapefruit. Maybe it's just because I remember the summer of 1990 I spent in London in total freedom. Or simply, it is happiness to have saved 120 €.
Certainly, Dewberry is strangely memorable. A few months ago, I received a text message from a girl who had not seen for at least fifteen years old, asks: "What's that perfume you used in college? I heard about a chick on the subway and I felt like buying it. "
Someone is such a thing never happened, emblazoned with a fragrance and expensive?

How To Build A Floor For My Boat

offense (minor)


Do you remember the smell of pencil shavings? The first spray of Femina du bois (****) is exactly that: pure cedar wood, challenging and compelling. When it warms the skin, emerge as sweet, enveloping notes: plum, violet, cinnamon and a fund of sensuous musk.
Unfortunately, this fragrance olfactory orgasm, the market for almost twenty years under the brand Shiseido, has recently been the subject of a crime of fragrance. The creator Serge Lutens has withdrawn from the market all the delicious bottle curves and transferred Feminista du bois in a rectangular bottle banal, like other perfumes Les Salons du Palais Royal . The scent itself was modified so barely noticeable: it is slightly sweeter and less persistent, but realizing it takes an expert nose and concentration. Fortunately, both packages can be opened and, therefore, in future, in the beautiful travaserò Fdb original bottle and will continue to use it.
The revival is driven by a true gentleman thief, which allowed Lutens, indeed Lupin, suddenly increase the price from 52 to 82 €, in line with the other fragrances in the series, risparminado well as on glassware. Of course justified it with class, spreading a beautiful video ,
in which he describes (in French, English subtitles) is now Feminista du bois, in rectangular, transparent bottle, is naked as a charge in the court . And he feels love with a judge of the defendant. But I think in his heart, as you see Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise : an irresistible robber.

Chave Para Mount Blade

fragrance A fragrance from crime


Manoumalia is pure pleasure: the wind caresses the skin, scented flowers with exotic names: fragrea, tiare, ylang ylang. Feel something else, something salty, like wet wood from water seafood, and sweet, amber-colored skin of a lover native.

You could be a navigator of remote islands, which brings home the precious essences are in their journey aboard the Beagle Charles Darwin, Christopher Columbus's return from India, Corto Maltese sailing in the salty sea.

It smelled so good, it also has a very nice story. It is the result of research of Sandrine Videault, (photo) a perfume-anthropologist, culture of olfactory Polynesian islanders of Wallis. Manoumalia means "the gift of Malia" and is dedicated to indigenous friend Sandra, who did discover the scents of his land. Videault work was sponsored by Les Nez, a brand forefront of perfume that has already given us other interesting creations such as L'Antimatiére (****).

If you need to commit a crime for her, I would go to jail willingly. But the only problem is that as many fragrances to the crime, Manoumalia is sold in drugstores and very few in any of the more popular chains. On the other hand, it is not necessary to do a robbery comperarsela: 50 ml cost € 60, less than a lot of crap on the market.
