Hiram Green Slowdive ~ fragrance review
I grew up in the South and was often called Honey Child, always by adults my grandmother’s age (mostly by women). I got in the habit of using the term myself, even as a little boy. I still use it when I’m riled up about something and/or intoxicated. Friends use the term around me, in exaggerated fashion, when I’m pontificating or “hogging the stage.”
“Hunny CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD!“
I think Hiram Green Slowdive* should have been called Honey Child…
La Via del Profumo Venezia Giardini Segreti & Palermo Don Corleone ~ fragrance reviews
As usual, I’m late to the party. Perfume house La Via del Profumo (also known as AbdesSalaam Attar Profumo) has already garnered fans and an article in The New York Times, even though the fragrances are difficult to find and the perfume house’s marketing budget is zilch.

Aftelier Velvet Tuberose ~ fragrance review
I bet I’m not the only perfume lover who has trouble wearing tuberose. Now, I love tuberose. I adore its bombshell lushness and, whenever I can, I buy stems to keep on my mantel. I adore tuberose in perfume, too. Little beats the first five minutes of wearing Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower, and I can’t give up my Piguet Fracas Parfum, even if I can’t quite wear it, either.
Yet, after a tuberose perfume’s glorious first moments, too often I’m ready chew my arm off. Those few minutes of a soprano’s aria that were so beautiful at first, now are grating. Tuberose perfume — on me, that is — is just too much of a diva, and I need relief.
I’m happy to report that Aftelier Velvet Tuberose stands apart…
