Viole Nere from Meo Fuschiuni is a wistful Rilke poem of a violet. I will say I really love violet, though most I’ve encountered smell very similar, dainty, and delicate in either a powdery or an earthy spring rain-way. Viole Nere, while similarly subtle, presents differently than those nostalgic candied pastilles or small, damp purple blooms. It’s the gossamer violet bruised and thrumming ache of never-quite-becomings, the bittersweet vetiver musk of breathless possibilities half-glimpsed, the gentle, patchouli decay of late autumn’s dying reminder that things unlived also have their season, their own quiet beauty. A melancholic wisp of frankincense dissipates like phantom ink on pages no one will ever read, an ode to a beloved who never arrived, who was lost from the start.
Flame & Fortune from Sarah Baker Perfumes smells like the shivery thrill of the chase and obsession for something elusive and rare, a chimera whispered on the wind, a mirage glimpsed in moonlight– and the inevitable reckoning at the end of this road of reckless desires. A charred diary page retrieved from the incendiary blast of a midnight explosion under the desert stars. Illegible script, a puzzle of ashy smudge in a swooping desperate hand, the labyrinthine cipher of a faded map whose details are lost to dust and sand, an exquisitely-detailed botanical revelation of a night-blooming flower both intoxicating and terrifying, the softly spiced mysteries of which might be a deadly curse, might be a cure for all the world’s ills. The dawn bleeds like an accusation, like a bullet wound, like a dying breath, and in that final inhalation, orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine, the fragrant honey of buds unfurling in the rising heat of the morning. The wind rustles with the fading memory of that sweetness as the sun rises where betrayal saw you fall.
Dead Writers by Immortal Perfumes is something I’m pretty sure I smelled several years ago when I was writing for Haute Macabre, maybe even before that. I don’t think I gave it enough of a chance last time. You have to wait a few minutes, and how it smells directly on the skin isn’t what you smell hovering just before beyond you. It’s a quill of cloves, vetiver’s dusty archives, an echoing swirl of pipe tobacco, and tattered heliotrope lace gloves on ghostly ink-stained hands. WOW.
It s sooo underrated abd it is one of the beste smelling designers
I think it s a bit to strong but for date it pretty good.
It s really great for everyday, but not a normal everyday 10/10
It smells sooooo good
It is a really green fragrance i do really like it and subtle as well but it smells so good such a nice fig fragrance
Nice smell but it only lasted me for 1 hour and for me it is a skin scent
Really elegant smell, one of the best leather fragrances i ever smelled
In my opinion it is the best fragrance to wear to the office. It is elegance in a bottle but not super mature
Such a good fragrance for the price would recommend better than the original khamrah
In my opinion best summer fragrance ever this fragrance gives me the vibe of being in ibiza wearing an all white linen outfit having dinner at a restaurant near the beach. Just amazing
A powerhouse of citrus, woods, spices and leather.
Deep but not dark. Rich, warming, luxurious.
The fragrance is really good especially considering it's price which is around $20-25 here in Nepal. Really great sugary and vanilla fragrance for the winters.Projects for about 1.5 hrs and lasts over 6-7 hours.I've had this since a month now and after maceration it keeps getting better and better.Highly recommended.
Just DON'T get this. Lasts 30 minutes max. Just get any middle eastern fragrances which provide a lot better value than this one in similar price.
Perfect winter fragrance in the segment.Good for special occasions and for both male and female. I get a solid 1.5 hr projection and 7-8 hours of longevity with this one.According to the price, the overall fragrance is good. 😃👍🏻
I would consider this beast mode for longevity. a unique DNA that will get attention With a salty fresh scent. I find it is great to use for layering.
Great candy sweet fragrence a little feminine to some but it’s a great compliment getter
I honestly think this is one of the most overhyped jpgs I personally did not like this fragrance
This is a woody herbal fragrance on me. It’s fairly quiet and I found it hard to distinguish much beyond almost a medicinal quality to the fragrance. Pleasant but nothing making me want to buy a full bottle And at the price point I would buy something else from the house like Purple Suede or island lush.
A beautiful woody citrus that opens more citrus heavy but finishes woody and a little musky. Like any fragrance the performance depends on the person, I find it to be very long lasting especially when sprayed on clothes, 12+ hours easy. Projection is moderate, starts out the strong the first hour than tapers off and remains constant. Overall a very pleasant and clean woods and citrus scent that is very unoffensive, my personal signature scent. Obviously it is a creed fragrance so quite pricey but you get what you pay for.
very beautiful scent smells like very expensive slight chocolatey make-up with a small powdery note that is the perfectly blended for a nice dinner or night out in fall or winter
It has the Same DNA, and I would give it 95% of how close it is. Arab perfumes and colognes have to be macerated, and it shows you on the bottom when it was made. Usually, if it took a month or two before you got it, I would say it should be good to go. If the month it is being made is close to when you bought it, I would spray it, keep it in a cool place, let it sit for a week or two, and then try again.
