Perfumes certainly have some magic power to them. It
is the way they can transport you anywhere, space wise and time wise, back and
forth (1970s, your sweet sixteen, 3054, you choose). They are my pocket size
time machine. They also have some Wizard-of-Oz-kind-of-power, that can make you
look cooler, be stronger, feel better, and I’d even go as far as to say wiser (Byredo Bibliotheque, anyone?).
I love love love Dyptique Phylosikos, even though it is such a perfume cliché. After
trying every single figue perfume that exists in this world, I
just think nothing really compares to its milky coconut notes. This is my I
need holidays right here right now scent, it transports me into a Corsican
fig tree forest (not sure those even exist, but they do in my mind) and
everything just instantly looks (and smells!) better.
Another Dyptique one I’ve been trying
out is Eau Duelle. This is
my let’s go out dancing on a summer night scent.
Vanilla-meets-a-drop-of-old lady-perfume, this is how I think it smells.
Also, writing about music perfume is like dancing
about architecture — it's a really stupid thing to want to do.
Oh yes, it is.
Next one I really love is Essential Molecules. I have no idea how I managed to persuade myself to
buying it, but I did. This one is like a Matriochka, as it is
hiding several perfumes in one, or at least it does on me. Fresh laundry
detergent mixed with a very girly flowery arôme, mixed with some
kind of very light powdery scent… Writing about perfume is very hard indeed.
Eu vent de vous is my cool girl scent. Partly
because of the packaging and also, I just love the name some much! It is a
solid perfume, very lightweight and perfect for travelling. The smell is very
modern, something very Byredo to me, but mixed with a tiny bit of something
very Oriental as well… The description doesn’t give it justice, really, go give
it a sniff and tell me what you think!
