More fragrant and decadent pleasures for the holiday season. 🍽️🍂🥮 Dama Koupa by Baruti Perfumes isn’t a literal gourmand but an orris-filled amber with a gourmet twist of almond macaron rounded out by beeswax. I also perceive it as a bit boozy and not especially sweet. 🟤⚪️🟣🔴🟠🟢 #perfumesky

Gorgon by @forstrangewomen.bsky.social smells like smoldering ruins, carbonized wood, ancient tombstones, and a touch of moss and funeral flowers. 🪦💐🪨🌿 The book is inspired by the nightmarish and misunderstood Medusa, the gorgon from Greek Mythology and quintessence of female body horror. 📖🖤

The return of Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood reminded me of my precious bottle of the original fragrance from 1998. It also had me thinking about the fragrances conjure a “boudoir”—an old-fashioned bedroom or private area (traditionally belonging to a woman). 🛌🪞🛋️🪶💄✨ More in the comments… ⬇️

À La Mangue by Flairée features a pulpy, creamy note of mango 🥭 suggestive of a dreamsicle 🍨 (if dreamsicles were flavored with mango instead of orange 😉). I tend to prefer greener mango scents, but I love how the fruity essence blends with the addictive, floral unctuosity of monoï oil here. 🧴

My tribute to Giorgio Armani 👑 is a fragrant one. 💫 I’m wearing the long gone but not forgotten Giò, an intoxicating brew of amber and white florals accented with the elegance of peach. Do you know Giò? Any favorite Giorgio Armani fragrances? #fragrancesky #perfumesky #vintageperfume
