To successfully launch a designer perfume, you need several things.
1) a hip location, such as a nightclub, museum, or other beautiful building
2) lots of hot models
3) lots of freebies and chances for the fashion press to sample the perfume.
Unfortunately, Prada’s latest perfume launch for Infusion d’Homme, they missed out on that last bit. The concept […]
This is the second of seven (planned) fragrances by jeweler turned perfumer Olivier Durbano that I’ve sampled. Olivier Durbano is described as
An architect by training and a jewelry designer by profession, Olivier Durbano found himself drawn even deeper into the mysterious world of gemstone jewelry, fascinated by their stories and sharing an obsession that […]
L’Artisan’s The Pour un Ete (Summer Tea) is one of those scents with near-cult popularity. Originally slated to be a limited edition, it was made part of the permanent line. The notes include green tea, jasmine, mint, and lemon. I like the combination of these notes very much - it’s very naturalistic and not contrived […]

Aquolina’s Pink Sugar is a definite scent made for Spring or warmer months, in my opinion.
Pink Sugar is a playful and warm scent with notes of Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, […]
I’ve never been down with the Gwen’s Harajuku Girls. First off, I’m pretty sure they have real names, not “Love” “Angel” “Music”, and “Baby”. Second, the girls really aren’t very much like “real” Harajuku girls have much more interesting sense of style than Gwen Stefani’s watered down punk meets street meets reggae meets anime- mess […]
I thought this article in the Dallas Morning News was a great analysis on how perfumery and perfume criticism have changed in the past few years. Of course, it would have been even better if she’d name checked ME… but I’m very glad that people realize some perfumes are just BAD, not just “not for […]
Dior Addict 1 was an oriental, white floral with bourbon vanilla. Dior Addict 2 couldn’t have been much different, a girly citrus-spiked floral, but I liked them equally. Dior Addict Shine is a more youthful, summery take on Addict 2. I don’t smell any of the freesia that bothered me a bit […]
Well, we’ve reached a new day here at TheScentedLife - the day in which I seriously wonder if I got a defective product. You see, Indult’s Tihota was not unpleasant, but I couldn’t very well justify the incredibly high price for something that smells like many other Comptoir Sud Pacifique scents. Manakara, […]
I think this perfume is slightly misnamed: it evokes lightning for me so much more than thunder. It was a damp Friday and still chilly today, so although it’s winter I think it was appropriate. The earthy notes immediately come forth, with wood/bark notes in the background and then the wild mint. […]
Taking in the first moments of this scent is like standing on the sidewalk in front of two stores. One is a middle eastern grocery that sells spices, rosewater, and tobacco. Next door is an equally old-fashioned confectioner, with candied apricots, oranges, and dustings of coconut. Together it’s a soulful, heady mix […]
