I know there are a few of us on BT that are fragrance addicts, so I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated place where we can share our thoughts.
This is not to take away from the lovely What Are You Wearing Today, Fragrance Edition thread, but more a place to post longer reviews, chat about new brands or releases, and just shoot the breeze on anything good and smelly 🙂
For me, I recently acquired 2 new decants that I've been anxiously awaiting. Ever since Lachaton mentioned that MMM was releasing a new scent called By The Fireplace I've been itching to get my hands on it. My decant arrived yesterday, so I'm looking forward to marinating in it this weekend. Secondly, I recently picked up a tiny sample of Shiseido Nombre Noir. Supposedly it is one of the most expensive failures in perfume history - made by Serge Lutens for Shiseido back in the 80s. Of course, with a backstory like that, I was dying to get a sniff 😄

Byredo is releasing neon letters to customize its unnamed fragrance
@Mochapj @pocketvenus Did you have a chance to test this out? I’m intrigued. Some ppl say it’s liked Noir de Noir Intense. Some says it’s a cheaper version of it. I’m curious.
@blackkitty2014 I haven't tried it out yet but will tag you if I post about it here 🙂
@blackkitty2014 I have. NdeN is one of my fave TF scents although I’ve never tried the ‘intense’ version
there’s a definite similarity between RP and NDeN. RP is much less rosy than I would assume based on the name alone. I get more spice and incense with a subtle heart of rose rather than a rose bomb.
Thx @Mochapj . I probably won’t like it then. I was hoping it has more Rose and less spice.
Interestingly, the ad campaign for this fragrance is very tame compared to others like the ads for Portofino, Lost Cherry and FF
@MochapjThanks for sleuthing this out! I'm a little surprised - other than turmeric, the notes are very clichéd. Will def test this out when I can though!
Has anyone heard news about Commodity’s return under new ownership? Vicken Arslanian bought the company in August of last year, and is going to make a documentary of his reviving the brand. The first two parts are up on YT under “Commodity Fragrances.” I love a few of their fragrances and am very excited about the news, so thought I would share!
Diptyque has a new LE collection, Paris En Fleurs coinciding with the release of Eau Capitale which is a chypre 🙂
Jo Malone has a new release, Vetiver & Golden Vanilla. Vetiver and vanilla has already been done so well before by Hermes and Etat Libre but I love vetiver and cardamom so I'll definitely give this a try.
Top Note
Cardamom
This cool spice, with its green accent, resonates with the freshness of the grapefruit tea accord.
Heart Note
Vetiver Bourbon
Earthy and grassy, its elegant, woody intensity grounds and deepens the fragrance.
Base Note
Vanilla Bourbon
Vanilla adds an enveloping and sensual warmth to the vetiver heart.
Sephora has a product page up for Atelier C's latest, Love Osmanthus.
Scent Type: Fruity Florals
Key Notes: Osmathus, Cedarwood, Lemon
About the fragrance:Discover the osmanthus flower with Atelier Cologne. Sourced in China, this nocturnal flower blooms at night, adding a fruity essence to an exotic garden under the moonlight. Love Osmanthus captures the aura of this special flower in the same way a secret garden provides a haven to forbidden lovers.
This fragrance is made from 93 percent renewable, natural-origin ingredients of the highest quality: Osmanthus flower from China brings peach-like creaminess while lemon from Italy adds brightness and warmth, both grounded by cedarwood from America.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian has teamed up with Fendi to release a scented leather handbag.
From Hypebae, Coming in both mini and standard sizes, the “FENDIFRENESIA” is constructed of sunshine-yellow Selleria leather and perfumed with Kurkdjian’s musky, gender fluid fragrance. Each bag comes with a small bottle of the scent, which can be vaporized on a card hidden inside the purse or worn on the skin.
The scent is supposed to last 4 years and is described as gender fluid, leathery and musky with notes of labdanum, styrax oil, vanilla bean and rose.
Would you buy a scented purse?
@pocketvenus Thats a pass for me. I love that shade of yellow and would love to sniff the bag though lol
@CyncynnI love the yellow colour too but I don't want my purse competing with my own perfume!
Read this is a chypre so now I'm more interested!
A fuller notes pyramid from a French website lists
@MochapjHm, not the most original notes but I will definitely try it. Thanks for the head's up!
