Robert Piguet Casbah, Nasomatto Pardon & Linari Fuoco Infernale ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Kevin on 18 July 2012 33 Comments

Robert Piguet Casbah, Nasomatto Pardon, Linari Fuoco Infernale fragrance bottles

I do not exaggerate; at this moment, I have SIXTEEN perfumes on my desk that ‘deserve’ reviews…for summer. The best I’ll be able to do (summer is going by fast) is combine these fragrances into four or five reviews; so today I’m writing about three fragrances I like and never got around to reviewing when they were released.

Robert Piguet Casbah

Robert Piguet Casbah (from the Nouvelle Collection and “dedicated” to Morocco) was developed by perfumer Aurélien Guichard and includes notes of cedar, iris, pepper, nutmeg, angelica root, vetiver, tobacco leaf, smoky floral accord and incense.

Casbah is a rich, leather-incense fragrance (it would fit in perfectly with the Comme des Garçons incense line). As I sniff Casbah, I detect pepper, nutmeg, smoke and vetiver (while wearing Casbah, the spice notes sometimes blend with the incense smoke to create the aroma of an exotic, well-spiced dish cooking on a hearth). Casbah is a well-blended incense fragrance; the note that stands out most forcefully is leather (a smooth, semi-sweet leather). As I wear Casbah, I notice a shift from the early “food-y” stage of the fragrance to a more “churchy” incense scent near the end of the perfume’s development…

Linari Notte Bianca, Angelo Di Fiume, Vista Sul Mare & Eleganza Luminosa ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 3 September 2008 23 Comments

Linari, best known for their home fragrances, has launched a range of four personal scents:

Notte Bianca (shown) ~ “As exciting and beguiling as a sleepless night with fruity, delicate accents of pink grapefruit, fresh bergamot and Italian orange in a delightful interplay with aromatically lively notes of star anise, absinthe elixir, cloves, sage and fine cashmere wood. Haitian chords of Vetiver and Tonka, underlined by white musk and amber give the base a seductively sensual character.” By perfumer Mark Buxton…

Home fragrance report ~ Linari Malva candle

Posted by Pia on 18 March 2007 6 Comments

Linari Malva scented candle

Having recently, and happily, reviewed Diptyque’s Figuier, I thought to continue with the fig thread by introducing the Malva candle by Linari. One of their twelve available scented candles, Malva is elegantly packaged, with a frosted glass container with Linari etched all over it, and a rather nice Wenge wood lid that can also double as a coaster while the candle is burning. Linari claims to offer both ‘seductive fragrance and pure design’, and the design is certainly appealing in a minimalist sort of way.

I read the Malva description online, and was looking forward to the ‘never ending fireworks of the delicate scent of green figs and bergamot’, complimented by nutmeg, wild raspberry and cedar…
