Perfumedaze

It is truth universally acknowledged, that if you are tired of London, you are tired of life ☺️

Today London showed me her secret garden in the very historical centre. And it wasn't a simple garden
It had so many joys for the nose of a perfume lover: a pink pepper tree, lilacs, peonies, magnolias and of course GORGEOUS roses!

Thank you dear Linda and Jason for a splendid oasis of peace and flowers. Was happy to see Amanda and Sharon 🧡

It was an absolute pleasure meeting Anne-Laure Hennequin again yesterday at the Jasmine Awards

My warm summer evenings are now sorted ☺️ Let’s meet for a perfume quiz?

Instagram today has turned into a green valley full of May lilies 💚

The summer is getting near and nearer, and so are the fresh florals.

Once very popular, a symbol of young and rebirth, and loved by Christian Dior, now nostalgic and the choice of rare perfume connoisseurs, Lilly-of-valley fragrances are disappearing from brands' collections. We can count the perfume houses still producing it on the fingers, including , , Pierre de Velay 💚

Do you have any Lilly-of-the-valley scent? Still using it?

Perfume Club today with our favourite fragrances that helped us to fall in love with the notes we don't usually like.

And yes, today's selection was one of the best ever. No wonder these perfumes made us change our mind on certain notes. It proves that perfumes must be tested, sprayed and tried and no description can be exact enough to help you choose the one you'll love forever.

A day off spent well opening the boxes full of perfumes and finding real treasures! ✨✨✨

These are the fragrances worthy of a queen or a king, in my humble opinion. They have several ingredients in common:

amber
vanilla
musk
incense
cloves
rose
tuberose
saldalwood

All very opulent, rich and precious drops, nothing fresh or tropical.

Gardenia is another royal flower, but I didn't have any perfume with it.

👑 Portrait of a Lady
👑 Extraordinary
👑 Côte Vermeille
👑 Pardes
👑 Encens Divin
👑 Phul-Nana
👑 Fleurs et Flammes
👑 The Bewitching Yasmine
👑Quintessentially Amber
👑Sol Salgado
👑 Shalimar Millesime Vanilla Planifolia

So I guess my kings and queens prefer leisure and opulence to sports. And how about yours?

My scented Maundy Thursday started with a spray of a perfume that smells clean, at least to my nose.

As you have already guessed, the first spray led to another, and tidying my flat instantly moved out of the priorities for today. Or at least has been postponed till after lunch.

This is my clean (different from “fresh”) scents list. They all have something in common: tea, citruses, petit grain, cucumber, and crispy aldehydes:

Albis
White Linen

White Rose & Lemon Leaves
Lilly of the Valley
Eau de Cologne des Princes .parfums
Snowdrop
