Stairway to Heaven Review / Jul et Mad (Cecile Zarokian, 2019)

No Comments

I can’t stop humming: And as we wind on down the road / Our shadows taller than our soul / There walks a lady we all know / Who shines white light and wants to show / How everything still turns to gold…And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven.

White on layers of white, flying high into thin air. I’ve been going through a rough patch lately, and Stairway to Heaven felt like a wound-soothing, comforting, and delightfully sensual medicine for my soul. Sleeping on my great-grandma’s white lace sheets helped too. Here is my full review, previously published in Cafleurebon.

Antonio Alessandria Parfums Rusty Vibes Review (Antonio Alessandria 2020)

2 Comments

The inspiration behind Antonio Alessandria’s Rusty Vibes was one specific image, created  by the photographer and essayist Alex C. Musgrave. A photo of flowers, an atmosphere, inspiration plus creative freedom, and Rusty Vibes was born!

This perfume was the fourth bespoke fragrance created for Çafleurebon’s 10th anniversary, and my review was first published there.

Meo Fusciuni Varanasi Review (Giuseppe Imprezzabile 2020)

No Comments

There are travels that become not only physical transitions from one place to another, but turn into inner journeys, intimate and spiritual, that weave delicate and invisible webs made of emotions, feelings, and memories of experiences shared that bond a traveler’s soul to the places traveled to – forever.

My Varanesi by Meo Fusciuni review, edited in 2021, was first published in Cafleurebon in 2020.

Cabaret Nocturne Visiteur Review (Cecile Zarokian, 2018)

No Comments

Visiteur, a perfume brand founded in 2018 by Janne Rainer Vuorenmaa from Sweden, is now present with three fragrances: Cabaret Nocturne was the first one I reviewed, even before it officially launched. 

Janne did take his time, a perfectionist, working on each and every detail until he was ready. And guess what? He was ready amidst the worst lockdowns – in 2020!

Here’s my review of Cabaret Nocturne, a wonderful fragrance created by talented Cecile Zarokian. (First published in Cafleurebon, edited)

Silence the Sea Strangelove NYC (2016) / Christophe Laudamiel: Surrender To Love

No Comments

Silence the Sea is one of the most intriguing fragrances that I’ve ever come across.  Christophe Laudamiel, working together with the Strangelove NYC brand owner Elizabeth Gaynes and creative director Helena Christensen weaves a creation that features pure ambergris with an alluring effect, addictive and deeply primal.

This is not a marine-aquatic fragrance, and yet it speaks about oceans and seas in volumes!
