Girard Lysval Eau de Toilette

First to recommend

Description

This is one of two fragrances that have been revived from the house of Girard, which disappeared from the shelves around 1930 apparently.

This fragrance is one of the truest, lushest, floral fragrances I have smelt in a long time. Incredibly feminine, with definite notes of hyacinth in the top but not a note of old lady anywhere.

This is for the woman who is completely confident in her femininity and wants every day to feel like she is wandering through the most beautiful Spring garden.

A great anti dote to the syrupy sugary florals beloved of every celeb launch

Le Labo Rose 31

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I love Le Labo for their whole philosophy, for their great stores, and their amazing scents. I love Rose 31, they say its roses for men, I would say its a rose fragrance for those people who don't like really florally scents. It's got warm, spicy woody notes to counterbalance the rose, and I think its gorgeous for men or women.

In the UK, these fragrances are now available at Libertys

Description

I love Christopher's work and it's so hard to choose between them. But this is the one I pick for over-worked, harrassed girlfriends everywhere.

CB I Hate Perfume Burning Leaves

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

In spite of recommending At the Beach 1966, I'm much more of an autumn/winter girl, and love dark, smokey fragrances. Hence why I love this. According to Christopher, it's the smell of burning maple leaves. For me, its the essence of autumn, bottled.

Neil Morris Fragrances: NMF Fragrances: Aegean

First to recommend

Description

Two reasons why I love this. One, the description makes me want to dive into this fragrance, as a substitute for diving into the Aegean itself. Two, I discovered it at Takashimaya in New York, which is one of my favourite stops for fragrance shopping in the city. It's like a little oasis amidst the chaos of 5th Ave. (via Daniele at Takashimaya)

Musc Ravageur : Welcome to les senteurs.

First to recommend

Description

If I could only have one fragrance from Editions De Parfum, Musc Ravageur would be it. I mean, it's described as dark and dangerous, and elegantly depraved, which is more aspiration than reality on my behalf, but oh, the glorious imagery it brings to mind.

If you're in London, then stop by Les Senteurs in Belgravia and let Florian take you on a magical mystery tour of fabulous fragrance. I could lose myself for hours in there!

Special Edition 2007 Test Kit : Welcome to les senteurs.

First to recommend

Description

I'm not a mainstream fragrance kind of girl, so this is my idea of heaven: a testing kit of the Editions de Parfums perfumes. Of course it's not cheap, but then my tastes in fragrance rarely have been, and its worth paying for these divine creations. I don't love them all, but I'm intrigued by many of them. I do love, completely irrationally, Musc Ravageur, and have a growing appreciation of Noir Epices. If there is one of these left, then I'd like it! (via Les Senteurs)
