This smells like a children’s hospital. A haunted children’s hospital. Powdered violets and narcissus create a potent baby powder cloud, while medicinal honey and cherry syrup linger beneath. It’s the scent of something strongly medical trying to be covered up with an even stronger, sweeter potpourri. But instead of re...
Read review →Smelled it several years ago and it was like needles to my nostrils. I remember it being sharp, dry, almost pinch-nosed in its wearability. Like silver platter room service arriving to your suite and then refusing to serve you for answering the door in your bathrobe. Upon revisit, perhaps that was an unfair assessment....

Read review →Icy, lemony confectionery. I also get a somewhat lactonic, fro-yo-y note in the opening. Bake is so sour it’s sweet, a lemon chiffon with cream cheese frosting. On the sugar spectrum, I put Bake somewhere between Unknown Pleasures’s (Kerosene) lemonade-syrup Earl grey and Choux Choux’s (Liis) powdered sugar cloud. On t...

Read review →Jet-puffed jasmine liquorice. A springy, blossomy herbal. This is what faerie candy must smell like. My favourite of Chopova Lowena’s art school Powerpuff Girls. The main character is the fennel, which adds a nice “chew” to an overall airy profile. She’s a soothing scent – I swear I get some chamomile – but neither a q...
Read review →An eclectic, pep-in-your-step citrus… sullied only for me by its opening note and flighty lifespan. Yuzu is my sleeper agent activation phrase. I’d drink poison if you told me it had yuzu in it. I once got violently ill because I ate a whole jar of yuzu curd in an evening. I haven’t found a great yuzu fragrance yet, be...
Read review →My third favourite of the DvN fam. A smoky herbal that manages to come off clean, sweet, and faintly metallic. (But not like a vape pen! It’s giving more soft hookah). Would happily wear either day or night. The rosemary adds a subtle bite of spice. I find natural rosemary an overpowering scent (which also only makes m...
Read review →The name made me anticipate a drugstore bottle of something like “Love Island: The Fragrance!,” but I found a more cultured spicy rose. Feisty and youthful without being syrupy or cloying. Essentially a fruity, red rose tempered with photorealistic pepperberries. (My childhood bedroom abutted a pepperberry tree so I dr...
Read review →A feathery rhubarb bouquet, dusted with resin. The opening is one of the most convincing rhubarbs I’ve ever met, and also one of the most convincing… cannabises(?) Must be something about the tart herbals paired with the vetiver, or maybe it’s how some rhubarbs play with my nose. (Gumamina’s Odette opens like a grapefr...
Read review →Pixelated creamsicle musk. Has the same static-y, almost buzzy quality as Angel Dust. A rare plush citrus, much like my beloved Loewe 001 Woman (a downy tangerine) – but much more lively and candy-toned, with a hint of bitter peel in the drydown. Heavyweight longevity, a rarity in the world of citrus. The spa lobby of...
