L’Entropiste presents Festin, a new fragrance exploring the extravagant world of an imperial Roman banquet.

Mocha Absolu by Dusita: The Drink of Human Kindness
The gourmand genre is overshadowing everything in its stride, commercially dominating the market, especially in the 17-40 age demographic. It's not something to cry about, of course; people need the jolt of newness to respark their interest in perfumery. The French brand Parfums Dusita lately reinvents gourmand accords in an ineffable way, beyond merely comforting; chic, refined, never inducing th...

Creed Iris Debonair: Steel Rebar Wrapped in Silk
It seems to me that in recent years Creed and Montale have gradually been swapping places. And that is rather surprising when you remember just how different these brands were even ten years ago. In my world, they could coexist only in the portfolios of certain distributors, certainly not within the same aesthetic framework — whether visual or olfactory. Montale always offered its customers fragra... Read full article: Creed Iris Debonair: Steel Rebar Wrapped in Silk from Fragrantica Perfumes and Colognes Magazine.
CINOJAD - Five Fragrances, Five Cultures and a Journey Along the Silk Road
Chinese niche perfumery continues to introduce me to new names. While some brands strive to offer their own interpretation of olfactory genres familiar to European consumers, others turn to the history, ethnic traditions, and natural diversity of their homeland. CINOJAD belongs squarely to the latter, a young Chinese fragrance house whose debut collection proved to be a genuine journey across the ...

EDEN Adamo Parfum: A Different Kind of Paradise
Until my wonderful colleague Elena Prokofeva reviewed Eden (you can read her review here), I had never really come across the niche house Adamo Parfum. Her review immediately caught my attention, and the more I looked into the fragrance, the more convinced I became that this was something I would enjoy. A bright, clean floral composition with citrus, plum, and woods? That sounded very interesting ...

Pitti Fragranze’s Big Idea: Chocolate!
After time to reflect on my experience and the offering at Pitti Fragranze this year, the only trend I came away thinking was representative of olfactory union in current niche was chocolate. It’s being done in a new way. Viktoria already wrote about craving chocolate in Florence and some corresponding scents, but in this article I’ll detail what I think is happening with chocolate-designed perfum...

On Givenchy’s Striking L’Interdit Elixir
It is absolutely impossible to pass the new L’Interdit Elixir by without taking notice. Its luxurious bottle, reminiscent of an enormous ruby, stands out far too vividly against the other fragrances in the collection. And although I cannot say that recent L’Interdit releases have filled me with enthusiasm, in this case, curiosity got the better of me. As it turned out, with very good reason: L’Int...

Prada Paradigme Le Parfum: Louder, Sweeter, Flatter
I believe there is nothing worse in perfumery than expectations that go unmet. On the other hand, I increasingly hear the oft-repeated phrase: “Your expectations are your problem.” And, it must be said, there is truth in it. I certainly expected a great deal from the new Prada Paradigme Le Parfum. The reason is simple: I genuinely liked the original Prada Paradigme. Yes, it was built around an in...

Awake SŪZŪ: The Unexpected Minimalism of Samuel Moraes
When I found out that Awake, by the Brazilian brand SUZU, had been created by perfumer Samuel Moraes, I confess my expectations immediately leaned towards an expansive, intense fragrance with an almost thunderous personality. This association didn't arise by chance, but from familiarity with some of his previous creations, especially Alma de Taipa, released for Elemento Mineral, a fragrance that,...

Diorling DIOR (2026)
A long-awaited downpour has finally begun here, meaning it is time for the leathery Diorling (2026). Released in 1963, Diorling (Dior + Darling), composed by Paul Vacher, later inspired Dior’s "British" collection. I was surprised by the lemon-yellow hue chosen for the fragrance in accordance with the archival color code of its packaging—meaning the original Diorling was indeed released in this ex...

Would You Like a Turkish Coffee?
Whenever I hear the phrase "Let's have a Turkish coffee," a little excitement always sparks inside me because I usually hear this from my close friend, and I know that we won't just be drinking coffee. I'll make her smell my new decants, talk her ear off while asking which one she likes and explaining their notes, the topic will somehow turn to girl talk, we'll dissect everything that happened to ...

Zenith by Riiffs Perfumes: A Review
In humanity's eternal pursuit of efficient use of resources—space, time, money—we're already reaching the limit in some areas. A mobile phone replaces a watch, calculator, telephone, computer, music player, radio, television, newspapers and magazines, translators, and much more. Headphones and batteries have become so miniature that they could soon be implanted under the skin. And what about crawl...

Diorissimo, Eau Fraîche, Diorama, and Diorella (2026) by DIOR
The new Dioriginals fragrances have captivated me. In them, the past blesses the present. As I have noted before, the precision in capturing the mood of these scents is combined with a sense of novelty.

Montblanc Collection Paper Musk
You may remember my enthusiasm for the Montblanc Black Meisterstück, created by Jordi Fernández, which left such a strong impression on me when I wrote about it a few months ago.

Between Shadow and Light: The Versatile Umbra Oud
My introduction to the Anomalia Paris brand began with one of the brand's bestsellers — Umbra Oud. In Latin, the word "umbra" means "shadow".

And in the fine arts, the word "umbra" denotes a dark brown min... Read full article: Between Shadow and Light: The Versatile Umbra Oud from Fragrantica Perfumes and Colognes Magazine.
MarMar. Greetings from Genoa
I don't have high expectations for 99% of new brands, but there are some things I usually appreciate: commercial genius, consistency, attention to the perfume, and particularly poetic storytelling. Come to think of it, it must have been the latter that made me fish the discovery set from MarMar out of my sample trunk. This is a young brand from Genoa-born Filippo Fornasini, launched this past May,... Read full article: MarMar. Greetings from Genoa from Fragrantica Perfumes and Colognes Magazine.

ICON’S 26: Asia Speaks the Language of Perfumery - and Grasse Listens
There are cities whose names have long become more than just geographical designations. And Grasse is one of them. For the perfume world, it is not merely a small town in the south of France, surrounded by hills, fields, and old manufactories. It is a place of origin, a historical reference point, and to a certain extent, a guardian of the concepts of what we call haute perfumery. Musée Internati...

This summer, Akro unveiled Heat, a fragrance inspired by the burn of chili pepper, "the one that ignites and makes the temperature rise". A highly fitting theme in the midst of a heatwave!

Purple Trouble, Romano Ricci's new release for Juliette Has a Gun, is a launch aimed at seducing the fans of ubiquitous fruity ouds, a category currently experiencing a period of stagnation, given that the combinations are few and their creators' imagination often leaves much to be desired.
