Antonio Alessandria Parfums Éperdument
Éperdument by Antonio Alessandria Parfums is an olfactive tale you should get lost in this summer – fresh but with more depth than a citrus, floral and sensual but with a melancholic edge, aquatic but only in the droplets of the ocean carried in the salty air.
Etat Libre d’Orange RIEN
Wearing this redingote with a rigid backstitch, Rien smirks and flashes us with a surprisingly modern-leaning-futuristic dry-down. Feels like traveling forward in time, to a post-pandemic roaring ’30 (2030’s that, is), somewhere in the basement of an industrial dance club, hidden deep below a neon-lit Berlin.
L’Artisan Parfumeur Voleur de Roses
If there ever were a perfect overlay of a freeze-frame of a movie superimposed over a fragrance, this would be it: the rose garden after the storm, the smell of wet earth, broken branches, ruffled petals, the heavy smell of night, old buildings, stone archways, merging into one dense and memorable fragrant scene. And let’s not forget Lucy, hauntingly beautiful in the most perfect red nightgown.

Majda Bekkali- Mon Nom est Rouge
Enter Mon Nom est Rouge: same as with Biggazzi’s images, you can freeze-frame this fragrance’s development at any second – and it’s still a picture-perfect example of a perfectly composed, bathed in the right kind of all-natural light, bright focus on the main player – intricate but never too much – artistic type of wizardry. And it punctuates, with red, the whole tender love affair between incense and spices.
Masque Milano – Love Kills
“Masque Milano – Love Kills Review Synopsis: Moebius Strip Rose.” *Wikipedia: Moebius strip is a one-sided surface with no boundaries. It looks like an infinite loop. Like a normal loop, an ant crawling along it would never reach an end, but in a normal loop, an ant could only crawl along either the top or …
UER MI
What would be the smell of something made by an A.I. algorithm, something truly and deeply artificial, no nostalgia, no stories, no gods, no sexuality, no baggage?
