BDK Parfums - Vanille Caviar (2025)
A peculiar blend of domestic warmth and flamboyant panache. Homemade vanilla pudding paired with opulent boozy notes - kir royale, imbibed while in pyjamas. The perfume is “hygge” and “raffinatezza” distilled. What a feat.

Ode Ona - Moonkissed Rhapsody (2025)
I fell in love with this soft, drowsy lavender musk wrapped in hay and a trace of vetiver — I found it soothing, like a faded old sweater that you put on in the morning. No one else seemed to notice; they just called it meh.

I would appreciate any advice on perfume discovery sets by US based niche perfume houses. I will be in the US at the end of the year, and want to take advantage to get some samples of perfumes I can’t get (easily) here in Europe. Thank you!!

One of my blog classics for spooky October! 🎃💀🔮
Some are my personal picks for witches, ghosts, and infamous villains, while others evoke spooky ambiances and unsettling atmospheres, bring the surreal to mind, or blend the cute and the creepy. 🧙🏻 👻🤡🔥😈🏚️

Creed - Fragaria (2025)
Something between stale strawberry bubble gum and some type of medicinal syrup for children. I can’t imagine who this would be for. It’s not off-putting or cloying, but if it were it may have actually been more interesting.

The 7 Virtues - Clementine Dream (2025)
I really wanted to like this. I didn’t get the fresh clementine zest, or the citrus-creamsicle dry down. I just got screechy cleaning product. To be fair, I think my skin doesn’t love citrus notes in general. This one won’t be a match for me.

I’m on a trip to California, so I popped into a Sephora and tried these Lore scents. Nothing groundbreaking, but comfortably approachable. My favorite is “Lovely and a little twisted”, with Rose Milk, Pistachio, and Patchouli. Sincere and simple.

I’m fascinated by this development. Squishmallows releasing 3 affordable ($58) perfumes inspired by their characters - a fruity floral, a “moody” floral, and a vanilla gourmand. Infused with DSM-Firmenich’s “EmotiWaves” technology, which is engineered to evoke feelings of happiness through scent.

I could not agree with this more. It took me a while to accept that I don’t love certain notes or fragrances. I really started loving fragrance once I relaxed about it and just focused on the enjoyment of the craft.

A fresh set of samples delivered from Nose, Paris. One of my favorite perfume shops. I told myself to be spendthrift this month….oh well. The treats will continue until morale improves.

Giorgio Armani - Haute Couture en Jeu (2024)
Everything about this perfume confused me. The sticky-sweet bubblegum-pink bottle and juice belie a green floral perfume with bite. There is a lovely beautiful rose and geranium melange, topped with fresh basil…but not worth the hefty price tag.

New Notes - New Leather (2021)
Polished and rebellious, saffron and pink pepper give a clean cut of heat before iris and supple suede smooth the edges. The drydown is urbane and magnetic, as it settles into woody perfume on a broken in and well aged leather jacket.

New Notes - Mangomina D (2025)
I love New Notes for their proudly loud scents. This is no exception, flagrantly fruity, creamy, and spicy - this perfume is pure fun. If I wasn’t topped up on summer perfumes, I think I would buy this. Not really a cold weather vibe.

Top 10 Perfumes For Autumn 2025 – Celebrating Simple Pleasures
Regular readers and viewers invariably tell me that autumn is when they enjoy pulling out the more baroque scents in their collections: the rich, Mitsouko-esque chypres, the darker florals, the more enveloping woods. That’s fine, but for this year’s autumn Top 10, I was guided by a rather different mood — a desire to seek simple, uncomplicated pleasures. So, in the spirit of being grateful for the blessings which we tend to take for granted, here’s a link to my rundown of the best scents for autumn 2025, followed by the complete list of perfumes I covered, with timestamps: …

Pierre Guillaume - A Une Madone (2021)
Incense draped over a creamy woodsy vanilla accord and distant florals. This is sensuously sweet reverence, a church candle melting into warm skin. A quietly intoxicating canticle, both sacred and scandalous.

Pierre Guillaume - Au Royaume des Femmes (2021)
Sweet and powdery, with a resinous rose note that keeps the experience well-rounded. There’s no sharp edges here. The experience is very comforting, it’s like a soft tissue found at the bottom of your mom’s purse.

I’ve been fighting off a nasty virus so haven’t been smelling much of anything lately. I have been intrigued by Lore’s releases - this one has cedarwood, black yea, cardamom, leather, and vanilla cream. Seems like the kind of cozy I need!

Fugazzi - Orange Crush. 🍊
My gateway drug to Fugazzi. Fun, easy, light-hearted scent that smells like orange soda and I can see how this can be a bit too “synthetic”. Somewhat immature, maybe, but pairs well with a post beach day spritz. Turn your mind off and enjoy.
