SCENTS AS PRESENTS


In this live streamed episode I open birthday presents that I ordered for myself: three perfumes that i ordered from https://fragrancesandart.com

CAFÉ from https://franckboclet.com/en/ is a fragrance inspired by the aroma of Colombian coffee.

In the top note, the scent reveals glittering hints of bergamot, mandarin, lemon and coffee.

In the heart, the coffee is mixed with floral and aromatic notes of rose, lilies, orange blossom, rosemary that gives freshness to the aroma.

Finally, the coffee is mixed with oriental and woody notes such as sandalwood, cedar, patschuli, vetiver and oak moss and softened with amber and vanilla.

Fragrance family: gourmand, woody

Top note: bergamot, mandarin, tangerine, lemon, coffee

Heart note: rosemary, rose, lily, orange blossom

Base note: cedar, vetiver, oak moss, sandalwood, patschuli, vanilla, amber




TREFFPUNKT (Rendezvous kl. 8) from https://schwarzloseberlin.com/en/ is another new interpretation of a Schwarzlose classic, richer in contrast; a fragrance that captures the exciting hope of a rendezvous with all its connotations.

The exciting vetiver fragrance got its name a long time ago. In the golden twenties in Berlin, it symbolized the legendary Berlin evenings, where the international art scene came together. Celebrities, such as Marlene Dietrich or Josephine Baker, were well-received guests in the city's clubs and contributed to the glitz and glamor of the scene. Meeting point 8 Uhr was considered a sporty men's fragrance at that time. But that did not stop the famous French dancer and actress Josephine Baker from wearing it. Today, the fragrance is officially a unisex perfume and convinces with the fresh ginger and mango chord in the top note and the seductive vetiver heart in the base note. There is no better olfactory translation for the expectation of a date hinted at in the name of the fragrance!

Aroma family: woody, spicy, green

Top note: grapefruit, mango, ginger

Heart note: sage, nutmeg, saffron

Basic note: vetiver

WILDE Eau de Parfum for men FROM https://www.jardinsdecrivains.com/en/. Olfactive aphorism. Jardins D'Écrivains took inspiration from Oscar Wilde's famous aphorisms to utter olfactive sayings. Words, like scents, have the power to reveal reality.

Fragrance family: spicy, woody, chypre

Top note: bergamot, grapes

Heart note: figs, cloves, tea

Base note: oak moss, vetiver
