Juicy, mellow fig!
Fig scents are a tricky thing. Often they come across as quite piercing, usually because the emphasis is too strong on the fig leaf, or they are somehow musty and dull, due to an overpowering wood accord. Not so with this fig. The opening refreshes with a wonderful, fruity peach-fig note, to which the bergamot contribu...

What a little fruit!
Admittedly, I don't associate this scent with the great Dietrich! Marlene Dietrich - I have no idea what fragrance she actually wore - I can rather imagine her with "Coco" by Chanel or "Chanel N° 5". My Passion, however, is not bad, and here too I can only convey how I perceive the scent on my skin. The opening is slig...

The Name is a Commitment
Golden Freesia - what an ambitious name. Anyone who has ever dealt with floral fragrances, especially with soliflores, knows how difficult it is to create a perfume that captures a floral scent as authentically as possible. The freesia, in particular, is a very special flower whose sweet and very soft scent is often ha...

Wow, what a fragrance! I couldn't get enough of it. At first, the ethereal oil of lemon peel, just freshly grated for...

Who says amber always comes from sperm whales???
Pacifica is a brand that has made nature its mission. Most of the Pacifica perfumes (these are extraits) are vegan, which is also indicated on the outer packaging. This means that the ingredients are of plant origin; it is also stated "no animal testing, free from parabens, phthalates, and propylene glycol. I was all t...

Cooked Ham in Juniper Smoke
I love herbs and use herbs for cooking almost all the time. Fresh or dried, depending on the season and availability. And I love lavender and had three varieties on my balcony, of which I unfortunately still don't know if they survived the winter. Vanilla is definitely a must for my desserts, wonderful. And I also love...

The Pear Rose
Parfums Berdoues also makes other fragrances, but usually, only those in these cute, nostalgic bottles are well-known. Typically, they are soliflores with very special accords that cannot be compared to any other scent. This also applies to Clair de Rose, although the name is somewhat confusing. Rose clair means light...

Lemon Rose
The bottle is heavenly - among all Boadiceas - but this front pattern is the most beautiful of all (there are three). Noble is one of the most extraordinary rose scents I have ever encountered. At the start, a freshly cut, ripe lemon comes to the fore, and slowly a crushed leaf from the lemon tree joins in. A wonderful...
