Who created Selfie by Olfactive Studio?
Selfie by Olfactive Studio was created by Thomas Fontaine.
I bought this on the spot after considering many others and finally deciding to get this pretty much on a whim after Selfie was the last one I sampled. I've gotta say I love it! Ridiculous name and the fact there's a mirror on the box can be forgiven because it's such a rich experience. Selfie really is incredibly boozy, the opening is like a mixture between sweet sherry and spiced rum, it has the warming qualities of spices & mixed fruits. It then becomes very heavy with a honey/maple vibe of angelica which despite the obvious gourmand feel, actually serves to make it a little darker and more grown up. It dries down to a deeply resinous benzoin/styrax, I even get Labdanum too, anyway a warm but unsettling base that's a bit dry and leathery. It has some of the qualities of Marquis de Sade but no where near as serious and leathered. The problem I have with many of these Olfactive studios fragrances is that I haven't come across one with serious staying power yet! Unfortunately Selfie is no different but dries down to a lovely warm skin scent and if the performance was that much of an issue for me I probably wouldn't have bought it. Selfie is Superb for me but obviously not to everyone's tastes judging by the votes on here.
