Naomi Goodsir Nuit de Bakelite ~ fragrance review

Posted by Kevin on 23 August 2017 24 Comments

When it comes to perfume inspirations, designer Naomi Goodsir had an original one: bakelite — one of the first plastics. I admit to laughing as I read Nuit de Bakélite1 PR materials (Goodsir collects bakelite objects). But who am I to laugh? I’d happily work with perfumer Isabelle Doyen myself if she’d help me turn some favorite things into gorgeous perfume. Isabelle, let’s create Jour d’Essence de Térébenthine2or La Grotte des Boules de Mites3. Just this week Angela here at NST reviewed a perfume made with concrete in mind!

Below are my five favorites for spring, and if you missed them, do see my list of iris picks for summer, iris picks for fall and iris picks for winter. Next up: a year of vetiver.

Do add your own picks in the comments…
