Moschino Toy Boy ~ fragrance review

Posted by Kevin on 11 June 2020 10 Comments

“What perfume are you wearing?” Unless you look something like model Jhona Burjack, you may pause before answering: “Toy Boy.” I’d probably say: “Oh, I don’t know…I just grabbed one of my 200 bottles of cologne. I wasn’t paying attention!”

I’ll note here I realize ‘toy boy’ may conjure other types (for other tastes) than Burjack in leather gear. According to dictionary.com, a toy boy is: a young man noted for his good looks and sexual prowess, especially one who maintains relationships with older, more powerful persons…

Spicy, musky petals

Posted by Robin on 18 February 2020 2 Comments

For A Marvellous Entanglement, filmmaker and installation artist, Isaac Julien worked with perfumer Yann Vasnier and the Galerie Folie shop to create a scent inspired by Julien’s 2019 work by the same name.

Trudon Elae & Medie ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Kevin on 25 September 2019 14 Comments

Cire Trudon, one of my favorite candle-makers, has released two new perfumes: Elae and Médie (both by perfumer Yann Vasnier). Of Trudon’s first round of five perfumes, I liked two and loved one: Olim.

Elae
(bergamot, apple, neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine, tuberose, sandalwood, akigalawood, benzoin); 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $210

Elae begins with bergamot, sweet jasmine, tuberose and a tart “apple” aroma. Elae’s apple note has a green/unripe character. This fruity note also reminds me of young pineapple (at low volume) and the scent of those hard-as-rocks strawberries that ship from California all year…
