Soft, enveloping and comfortable to wear

Posted by Robin on 16 November 2020 Leave a Comment

For Frenesia Pink, I created a musky-fruity eau de parfum with a rose-litchi impression. A drop of jasmine adds an impression of strawberry. For the first chapter, [with] Fendifrenesia Yellow, I wanted a bright leather note impression with no darkness nor dirtiness. A musky-leather eau de parfum with a daring twist of iris oil, which is very soft, enveloping and comfortable to wear.

A sumptuously fragranced Fendi handbag

Alas, money can’t buy love. But it can buy a sumptuously fragranced Fendi handbag—a close second, to be sure. In a new collaboration, [perfumer Francis] Kurkdjian has teamed up with the storied Roman luxury house and its creative director, Silvia Venturini Fendi, to infuse the label's famed Baguette (arguably the first true It Bag) with a new scent, FendiFrenesia.

5 perfumes: consider the creamsicle

Creamsicle

I’ve never been overly fond of the creamsicle (for the uninitiated, it’s a vanilla popsicle covered with a fruit-flavored ice, usually orange).1 Creamsicle perfumes, on the other hand, are a favorite, and they’re perfect for this time of year, when the sun finally comes out and the bulbs start to peek out of the soil — it feels like winter might finally be over (knock on wood) but it isn’t really spring just yet. Until the temperatures reach at least the high 50s (or preferably, the 60s), your favorite summer citrus might not have enough heft, but add some cream and sugar to the mix, and voilà. Spring is just around the corner.

Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles (& some other stuff) 2015, part 4

Posted by Robin on 8 February 2015 14 Comments

More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US. Today’s post includes collector items from By Kilian, Aftelier and Fendi; new concentrations of Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire and Cheryl Stormflower; and a new edition of Jimmy Choo Exotic.
