Dirty Amber is a warrior queen's anthem, a grit-kissed growl of bergamot and juniper, teeth bared against the dawn. Geranium, wild and bruised, clings to cracked leather armor, frankincense, a smoldering altar to forgotten gods, hangs heavy, the acrid bite of cassia bark a whispered curse upon her foes. Tonka's honeyed siren song of stolen pleasures is cloaked by a bitter, swirling fog of labdanum and myrrh. Cypress and patchouli, the musk of untamed forests, bind her to the earth, roots digging deep into forgotten bones of empires. And then, the heart of the storm erupts: fossilized amber, a guttural roar, a scourge of scorched starlight trapped in the golden opulence of sun-baked tears. The fragrance of a lineage steeped in fire, a war cry echoing through ages, of monsters fallen and kingdoms claimed. Dirty Amber is the scent of a Frazetta heroine, eyes blazing with the wild light of a thousand moons, a blade poised at the throat of destiny. This is beauty that bleeds, stains your skin, marks your bones, and etches its story into the air you breathe.

Not all observatories are built of steel and glass. Some are carved from ancient wood and wisdom, where mechanical planets trace their paths through the perpetual twilight of desert mysteries. Here in the thin mountain air, elevation sharpens the senses: first the bright bite of altitude, then the way spices catch in the throat like distant light. Time dissolves in the dark. What begins as calculation—the precise geometry of pepper's gentle ignition and austere cedarwood gears—softens into something warmer, more profound. Each celestial model points inward, finding its own true north in bitter cocoa and burnished amber. Brass orbits wheel overhead at the angle of eternity while censers trace their own paths below, drawing cosmic dust and incense into the undertow of old magics. In the smoke and spice of these shadowed alignments, the machinery of night turns ever inward.

Simple but not boorish, easygoing with a herbal note for a Saturday meeting with friends for coffee.

Opens as a lovely peppery rose, and dries into a woody acquatic floral. A very light damp earthy Petrichor supports.

After some hours the darkness of the aquatic settles and the rose appears again.

Lovely scent, akin to a lighter ADP with more floral.

A leather jacket, a lover's embrace, hot breath on your skin.

A really interesting scent.

Listed as a modern vetiver, on first spray its chemistry does give you a warm circuits smell.

Notes lead gourmand sounding but doesn't come across that way.

Opening is green, herbal and aromaric, dry, and a very subtle sweet creaminess which id put down to the vanilla.

I think I'm still learning the world of Vetivers but this is certainly an Interesting one.

Absolutely love it! this has got to be my most favourite in the whole Libre line. Love the addition of Coconut

A really beautiful mysterious scent.

Dusty, spiced, dark woody floral.

A sweetness from honey, dusty flowers with dominant rose, a musky, slightly pissy patchouli base.

Don’t think this will please everyone, but even if it doesn’t, the artistry has to be appreciated.

Sampling today.

A very delicate scent.

It’s skin like, cosy and comforting whilst remaining incredibly light and a little creamy

I feel this is really a ‘you but better’ scent.

There’s a little green, very gentle woods, and to my nose, almost something a tiny bit metallic.

People are right about it giving boiled rice.

It’s not something I’d usually wear, much too delicate, but I can see why it’s popular.

Very photorealistic natural white flower scent, mainly jasmine and frangipani. It feels like catching a whiff of night blooming jasmine while walking on the streets in Thailand. Fresh, clean and classy. I do not get any incence or patchouli, both notes can be difficult for me. The lasting power is up to 8 hours, which is great. Really enjoy this one.

Charme used to be my signature scent back in campus times. Loved the scent from the start and I believe this was a blind buy, because I wanted this bottle in my collection. The scent is subtle and kind of tea-like with a beautiful vanilla blend. Personally, it feels to be on the same level as Armani Mania. Those scents suit best as daytime fragrance. Very cosy to wear. A heavenly and charming scent. The bottle is really classic and suits the perfume itself. Too bad this is discontinued and almost impossible to find any more. I would love to see this having a comeback.

Lovely Iris-woody-rose blend, with some powdery/buttery hints in the background. Perfect everyday scent that makes me feel classy and elegant.

This is a very comfy Chloe flanker with mainly balsamic/woody/vanilla notes. I have not smelled a perfume like this before. The flowers are more in the background here, in case you do not like strong floral notes. I feel this scent is great for autumn or winter as it gives of calming vibes due to the balsamic notes. Very interesting scent and it has good lasting quality as well.

To my nose Wavechild does not have strong aquatic notes and I do not get a alot of coconut from it, more coconut water maybe. I would describe the scent as juicy warm/sunny watermelon with some cacao nuances in the drydown in a very classy way. It is a true happy scent, I really enjoy wearing it in the warm weather. A very inoffensive, even Office friendly daytime fragrance. My twin sister does not seem to like it and it appears the opinions are different, so better test before blind-buying.

Mellow Musk is almost a skin scent with milky notes. The opening reminds me of almond scented shampoo or lotion. It has more a fresh feel to it, later it becomes more creamy and sweet, where I do get the milky/toffe notes. Mith fragrances are nicely blended and more on the lighter side, therefore very office friendly. I do prefer Strawberry+Cream over this though.

Skin-close comfy scent. I get a salted praline vibe here. Creates a sweet and cozy aura, which is great for rainy weather or colder days, but works also in most situations as it is supposed to be a skin scent. It lasts around 3 hours on me. Love that the formula is clean 🙏

I ordered the discovery set and this was the first scent I tried and fell in love with. The drydown reminds me of my beloved and discontinued Nuit de Iles by Bissoumine. A creamy dreamy light skin-scent with nuances of Frangipani, although not listed. All their fragrances are made from natural ingredient.🩷 The beginning is a bit more citrus/bubblegum-like, but fades very quickly, then you are left with a blast of powdery notes and coconut, which then turns into this lovely scent. It is wonderful to see these perfumes are made cruelty-free from natural ingredients. So far all the samples I have tried, smells well-balanced and beautiful. The lasting power is a bit weak, but I do own a full bottle now. Thanks Aemium! <3

Olympea Solar is easily among my top 5 fragrances. Wearing this fragrance is as if sunbeams radiate from your body. 🌼This sunny warm aura is a mix of refreshing but warm Citrus, alluring Ylang Ylang and more warming and grounding Benzoin. Its a very sweet and slightly heavy tropical scent. The solar notes might be adding this sunny feeling to it. For me as Ylang-Lover, I feel very happy wearing this, but if you are not a fan of Ylang-Ylang you might not feel the same excitement. I would even wear pure Ylang Ylang oil as perfume for some time, that is how much I love this note. Solar is a rich scent and pretty long lasting, I do get around 6-8 hours lasting power. Hopefully this flanker will stay around some time, but might be a good idea to get a back-up just in case.

A beautiful feminine dreamy scent not just for young girls. The opening is my favorite part. Its soft, cuddly and sweet, I do get a very realistic white chocolate note with some almond in the top notes. It can be described as light gourmand, which just reminds me of a white chocolate milk shake with some oat milk. Later it fades into a mix of floral sweet musk and it stay like this for maybe 2 hours, wich is pretty weak unfortunately. For me this is still a perfect inoffensive skin scent, that makes you feel cozy with a cloud of sweet warmth, just nice for a relaxing day on the couch too. It was a successful blind buy and I am glad that I still got a bottle, as it appears to be discontinued shortly after the release. Love the bottle too, it very well made, simple and chic.

Not obvious, elusive, but present. Deep breath and delight.

Balsamic and woody, it envelops in a green creaminess that is sophisticated and comforting at the same time. Very natural, long lasting but not overpowering, a signature candidate

With Oriza Legrand’s Relique d’Amour, I experienced one of my favorite facets of being a writer: encountering unexpected connections and surprise synchronicities with regard to a thing I’m attempting to write. If, say, I am outlining a book review, and I happen to watch a movie exploring similar things. Or if I am piecing together an essay and I hear a new song echoing my inner monologue. As someone for whom translating ideas into words is such a vital aspect of my identity, these snippets of magic from the universe are so special for me. Anyhow, I unearthed a sample of Oriza Legrand’s Relique d’Amour from behind a bookshelf, and while pondering its mysteries I happened upon a March 2022 Vogue Hong Kong editorial with a beautiful Joan of Arc vibe, and these images are the perfect visual representation of this fragrance. Relique d’Amour is lofty, diaphanous incense, ghost particles of lemony woody myrrh, preserved in a reliquary of bitter, brittle quartz. A pale white lily springs impossibly from its crystalline depths, its delicate dewy spice in eerie contrast to the earthy oaken moss which cushions its base. This is a scent evoking visions of the divine, of the ineffable solace of faith, and of knowing to the core of your very soul that you are not afraid. You were born to do this.

Rue St Honore from Ouai is giving me some real idyllic springtime wisteria-draped cottagecore Crabtree & Evelyn Gunne Sax tradwife YouTube influencer exploited by their alt-right faschy podcaster husband for their perceived domesticity, femininity and purity vibes. Is this a field of violets and daisies and gingham picnic daydream or an escapist nostalgia-trap weaponized by Neo-Nazis? Maybe I am overthinking it, but there is something about this quaint floral garden fragrance that feels wildly wrong and deeply uncomfortable and makes me desperately itchy to stage an intervention for someone.

Vanilla Vibes, you had one job. For a fragrance with vanilla right there in the name, there is a shocking lack of it in the execution. Instead, it is a humdrum aquatic, with a sour, salty marine aspect and the barest whisper of sandy musk. I hate to use the word “boring” because that’s more of a judgment than a description, but I think in this case it’s perfectly warranted. I mean if this were a person, it wouldn’t even have a face. As a matter of fact, this is that same faceless person in a 50-year-old mermaid suit at Weeki Watchee barely submerged underwater and doing a terrible job entertaining children, and they’re actually so bored themselves they are texting on their phones instead of swimming and if you look closely you can see their toes poking through one of their fins. And you know what else? They smell nothing like vanilla at a
