Acqua Di Parma Profumo Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Fri, 12/11/2015 - 9:42 PM

Luxury and elegance abound! Spoil the special woman in your life (or better still, spoil yourself!) these holidays with a little extravagance from the celebrated house of Acqua di Parma! In the biz since 1916, Italian cologne and accessory giants Acqua di Parma created their iconic feminine chypre Profumo in 1930. In 2000, the scent was recomposed and relaunched. Since then, it has fast become a favorite amongst the jet-set and glitterati on both sides of the Atlantic!

Profumo oozes class and sophistication! Rather than remaining a snapshot of another era, Profumo also feels resolutely modern: its masterfully-crafted composition has rendered it a timeless classic! Presented in a striking inkwell flacon, Profumo enchants with its swoon-worthy blend of dewy rose, dusty iris, indolic jasmine, and heady ylang-ylang. This bouquet is carefully balanced over patchouli/woody notes, and a considered chypre base which instantly evokes a sense of worldliness and refinement.

Profumo is the ideal gift to a woman who celebrates the finer things: one who unashamedly wishes to treat herself to one of the most exceptional perfumes the world has known. It is brimming with ageless beauty and grace.

These holidays, why not put a bookmark between the pages of her life with this special scent, that she will remember for all time?

Mont Blanc Emblem Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Fri, 12/11/2015 - 9:41 PM

Stuck for gift ideas for him these holidays? Then why not reach into the finely fragranced repertoire of one of the world's finest luxury houses, Mont Blanc? We all know their leather goods and writing instruments are exceptional, so this year you can give him a small taste of the Mont Blanc lifestyle, but without breaking the bank! Emblem, created in 2014 has won many a heart for its brisk aromatic freshness.

Emblem is characterized by a man who is self-assured and confident... a guy who strides into the new year with swagger! Its opening flight of grapefruit, sage and cardamom sets the tone for a scent with depth, but without compromsing the freshness. A nucleus of soft violet and cinnamon lends a comforting feel, whilst basenotes of precious woods and creamy tonka bean allow it to anchor to his skin for hours. Presented in a beautiful black flacon inspired by a fine Mont Blanc pen or the winding crown from one of their exquisite wristwatches, Emblem is sure to impress. It has excellent projection and longevity – just what he needs to see himself through the marathon family gatherings these holidays!

Modern and bracing, this masculine will satisfy those fellas who love Paco Rabanne's Invictus and One Million. In short: he'll smell like a Boss!

Demeter Brownie Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Wed, 11/25/2015 - 9:06 PM

Fragrance company Demeter are at the top of their game, compiling an olfactory ark of single-scents that are lifted from our day to day lives. For example, do you love the smell of strawberry ice-cream orsalty sea air?  If so, then Demeter are your jam... they've bottled just about every smell imaginable (yes, even the bad ones, but lets not linger on those)! With all the good in the world, what smells more delectable than the aroma of freshly-baked brownies?? Well, you guessed it – Demeter have bottled that too and the likeness is uncanny! Now you can enjoy your favourite Brownie treat, but without the guilt!

Demeter Brownie is every bit as delicious as it sounds... not only does it take a smelly snapshot of the warm, chewy chocolate nucleus, but also the bitter cocoa dusting powder; the butter; the vanilla... all your gourmand dreams have come true with the ability to spritz yourself into a chocolate stupor! This tummy-rumbling scent will either put an end to your sugar cravings or will see you running to the local shop, but regardless, one has to appreciate the smell of chocolate baking in the oven, right?! To really knock your socks off, Brownie can be layered with Demeter Cotton Candy or Vanilla Cake Batter to send you into a sugar coma, but without the cavities!

Bring a slice of home-baked goodness to your cold winter day without even switching the oven on! Sweet-tooths beware... Brownie is INCREDIBLY addictive!
