Has anyone ever tried anything from Floracopeia? Their Rose & Vetiver Attar caught my eye: "This earthy, sensual and floral attar is created by infusing a cold water filtered extract of Edward rose into a base of vetiver oil. While on a train ride from Mumbai to Rajasthan, David Crow learned that rose and vetiver has long been considered to be the most beautiful combination of fragrance in the world. Although these two oils are both complex and worlds apart, together they become an unexpected elixir that evokes dreams and joie de vivre. Our organic Rose and Vetiver Attar is produced using no heat and no sandalwood oil. Unlike synthetic perfumes which sit on the skin and mask the body's natural scent, this attar acts as food for your skin, becoming part of your personal, unique fragrance." $50 for 5 ml at Floracopeia.

Hilde Soliani Sweet Home & Il Tempo delle Mele ~ fragrance reviews
As a follow-up to my review of two Hilde Soliani fragrances, Una Tira l’Altra and Conaffetto, I’ve been sampling two more offerings from this line: Sweet Home and Il Tempo delle Mele. Both are gourmand perfumes, and both were inspired by specific chefs and dishes that left lasting impressions on Soliani’s palate and nose.
Sweet Home is an olfactory tribute to a dessert Soliani enjoyed at Lido 84, Riccaro Camanini’s restaurant overlooking Lake Garda in northern Italy…

Happy Almost-Friday and happy World Lion Day! What fragrance are you wearing?
I went with Chanel Sycomore — its “aristocratic simplicity” will be perfect for my day of menial chores.
Reminder: on 8/11, wear a fragrance with vetiver, if you have one….
