SO many scents sniffed the last few days we can barely draw breath, but buckle-up buttercups, because in this new episode we discuss…
Fragrant feedback: Why listener Astrid treated herself to a bottle of @perfumerh Steam (& has now fallen madly for Lyn Harris’ style of perfumery) following our #listenerprescription in a previous episode
The second half of Suzy’s highlights from the recent @nicheshow London, including…
@fumparfum Hot Milk - steaming mug of comfort & blissful nostalgia
@kajalperfumes Topaz - chewy, crystallised citrus peel with longevity
@rndl.ltd Midnight - urban night-scapes, simmering spiced rum, twinkling stars
@thegateparis Secret Encounter - A tingle of anticipation via pink pepper, ginger & tonka-smoothed amber
Nicola was thrilled meeting the founder of @lessoeursdenoe & went mad for the kumquat / eucalyptus vetiver smoked seduction of Bohemian Absinthe
Meanwhile, Suzy’s reminiscences about her trip to Florence & @pittifragranze show Highlights (part 1)…
@beaufortlondon Sirenides — the NEW release she’d been aching to try, and it floored me. Myth-wreathed in wild waters, selkies shedding their seal-skin, stolen power, then poisoning the thief to take it back. Bitter almond drips, briny rock pools gleam, sodden fur snarls as it dries. Menacing. Mesmerising. Completely unforgettable.
@eaudebougie & @vallense - made Suzy so proud for the British niche scent scene
@lorchestre Bouquet Encore Latte - frothy, milky, dreamy steam swirling on skin
@reserve_en_afrique - Vanille Mafonja sophisticated & unsweetened; Rouge Karkade enchanted with smoky hibiscus & pomegranate. (Available @soliflore_store)
@jorumstudio Unspoken Gesture was nurturing, milky, expansive & cocooning
@shekorperfume unveiled a meeting of minds: @sultanpasha78 of @sultanpashaperfumes created Ashar, a monsoon-rickshaw memory where rain flows off cotton shirts with notes of petrichor, bamboo, soaked earth. & Antonio Gardoni @bogue_profumo with Sylhet — dense verdant air, humid, something furred & prowling in the undergrowth.
