Sampling Authenticity Perfumes Coffee Lush, one of the more recent releases from this house based in Virginia, known for its varied and very affordable fragrances. It’s fittingly a coffee-centric fragrance, with some added spices and sweets that create a fairly well-rounded experience that’s nonetheless still led by th...
Read review →Barbershop is my fourth try from the VA-based Authenticity Perfumes, and it’s certainly unlike most barbershop fragrances I’ve tried. It’s fresh with some citrus and woods, but there’s a vaguely minty/tingly/menthol-type concept, perhaps due to the mix of sweet basil and fir. The minty/tingly aspect fades within a coup...
Read review →Sampling the other recent release from Motif Olfactif, Sentier des Pins, a fittingly pine-centric fragrance that’s is mostly fresh, not in a citric way, but in a nuanced “fresh pine meets florals and resins” sort of way, not by any means a burnt pine resin type scent but not a screechy green pine either. It strikes me...
Read review →Fougere de Agar is a Dua original blend released in 2023 that’s actually already vaulted, a fittingly cross between a more traditional fougere and a modern oud fragrance, with additional notes of patchouli, geranium, rosewood. The blend of ouds is rich and does not come off particularly animalic or medicinal, but rathe...
Read review →Fresh Boss is one of the more recent releases from Authenticity Perfumes, the indie house based out of Virginia. This is a very straightforward but interesting citrus-forward mix that involves lavender, pepper, peppermint, and sandalwood, to my nose. Sweet orange is listed as the main citrus note but I get a bit more o...

Read review →First wearing of Aromas de Salazar Choco Oud, a floral-forward mix of the two eponymous notes, chocolate and oud, slightly animalic, with jasmine sambac and rose. It’s a curious mix, leans slightly feminine, and is well-executed, a sort of floral gourmand with a bit of a spicy animalic edge. I don’t find the chocolate...
Read review →Sampling Aromas de Salazar Vanillac Fantasy, a sweet, spicy, floral vanilla with an ensemble of almond, jasmine, heliotrope, patchouli, tonka, birch, musk, and resins. It has a lot going on, too much for me effectively to sort out, but its intense mix merits attention and strikes me as fairly unique, quite raw, not sub...
Read review →Sampling Aromas de Salazar Blueberry Morning, a fruity blend involving a very minimal note breakdown of blueberry, saffron, gardenia, and oud. The blueberry is front-and-center and it definitely leans more gourmand than Blueberry Chypre, in which the blueberry is the first of a large ensemble of notes. Blueberry Mornin...
Read review →Sampling Aromas de Salazar Heavenly Tobacco, a tobacco-led fragrance launched in 2022 with an interesting ensemble of notes that leaves it a mix of spicy, floral, powdery, herbal, earthy, and even a little fresh. Featured notes include elemi, jasmine sambac, styrax, oud, castoreum, and hay. It’s definitely got a lot go...
Read review →The latest release from Aromas de Salazar is the limited edition Dia De Los Muertos, inspired by the upcoming holiday of the same name, a spicy, fruity, floral, resinous blend that’s sweet but not too sweet. It’s a really interesting intersection of notes and feels well put-together and while it vaguely reminds me of o...
Read review →Zaharoff Signature CoCoLoCo (2023) is the latest release from the house, a robust, fresh, sweet blend with a fun, diverse note list but standouts of pineapple, coconut, cedar, benzoin, tonka, and musk, with florals, as well. It gives me a tropical vibe but not stereotypically so, with some savory, spicy, resinous hints...
