Floraiku- One Umbrella for Two☂

It's a comforting mix of blueberry muffin and hot tea, in a delicate way! The opening may be a little fruity but the tea is definitely present. The dry down is a non-intrusive pastry scent that just makes you feel cozy💜 Very gourmand, just the right amount of sweetness. I could not but think of FugoNara, platonic, like family🍓🍊

I'll be sharing more of my unprofessional weeb thoughts so stay tuned!🥰

Final Fantasy inspired scent recommendations #2 for Clive Rosfield

This is a new addition to Tom Ford's signature collection. I love this because in my perception it opens with a consuming smokiness before mellowing to a fragrance more sweet and subdued. I think this suits Clive perfectly.

Perfume House: Tom Ford

Perfume: Myrrhe Mystère

D.S. & DURGA - DEEP DARK VANILLA - Eau de Parfum -

Hyped up by this vanilla. A warm melody lost into darkness. A mysterious place still undiscovered, where nature is motherly and joyful, eternal protagonist of my playful enthusiasm. An endless flow of energy.

...

Scura e scabra la fragranza di D.S. & Durga - Deep Dark Vanilla - che offre alla vaniglia il podio, un titolo a caratteri cubitali ma in realtà ne galvanizza lo spirito con un’infusione di note arcane, scomposte in un buio profondo, imponendole un’attitudine alternativa, distante da certi limitanti preconcetti di dolcezza gourmand e melliflua logorata da una ripetitiva monotonia creativa.

Qui la vaniglia è espressa in assoluta, nella sua impeccabile integrità odorosa, senza manipolazioni di sintesi, a rivelare una robusta penetrante armonia, calda e profonda, con toni soavemente vellutati, mai leziosa o stressata oltremisura dalla fascinazione di una sensualità zuccherina.

La devi cercare a fondo questa vaniglia, occultata tra sentori balsamici di corteccia e fogliame. Legni e spezie iniziali (cabreuva e pepe rosa) ne proteggono l’intima essenza, esaltando nuance più affumicate, croccanti e tostate.

Infine la scovi immersa nei fumi terrosi, vegetali, radicali del patchouli, a compiacersi di un effetto boozy estraniante, pronta a farsi sentire, quel tanto che serve, nel seducente gioco dell’olfazione.

Creata da David Seth Moltz.

Eau de Parfum 50, 100 ml. In profumerie selezionate.

Alex's scent- Le Labo Santal 33

I love this fragrance so much! The description may make it seem wild and masculine, but it's actually a very mature and composed unisex scent. Santal 33 opens with a relatively strong leather note, along with the woodiness of cedar. Sandalwood stays in the background to provide a sense of steadiness. To me papyrus is really the star support here- it tones down the "cowboy" elements while adding sophistication.

I had imagined Alex's fragrance to be more on the suave and smug side, but Santal 33 really works well for the politician side of Alex- that's probably why Henry smells it on Alex when they get pushed into the janitor closet. This is also an incredibly calming scent so it would be a great choice for any time Alex might be bothered by anxiety. However, IMHO, Alex would wear something more playful when he's out partying😆

Santal 33 shares similarities with Maison Crivelli Papyrus Moleculaire, which I also adore💖
