Sun Sun Sun is the essence of the day as Tom Ford Private Blend sees the arrival of its newest connoiseur perfume. Lavendar Palm aims to capture the sparkling vitality of a relaxed, refined vision of California. So no images of a downtown LA, steaming twenty lane highways, or Beverley Hills excesses here. Think more sparkling sunlight, expansive [...]
Nostalgia is a very seductive and inviting state in which to immerse yourself but it can have a sting in its tail. The idea of vintage as style I like – you can step into it – consciously enjoy its wry ironic smile and then step out again into another era or even into the [...]
Tom Ford has released a brand new fragrance Tom Ford Violet Blonde and the scent world and aficionados everywhere are getting very hot under the collar indeed. Is it as good as they say it is? Choosing a fragrance to wear on your skin is a deeply personal decision. Yes some people slap on the [...]
Prada Candy is the new Eau de Parfum launch – well launched September – for girls who like a bit of excess. This is an intense fragrance. Its perfume is intoxicatingly sweet and feminine. We’d say one for fans of musky scents for girls. This is one that will grow on you - Prada Candy is indulgent [...]
There’s a time and place for innovation a genre breaking impudence. We love a maverick young buck here at Flux. Sometimes though it’s timelessness that’s called for and this is what this scent from Prada brings to the table. Prada’s Amber Pour Homme Intense Eau de Parfum is a elegant and intoxicating re-imagining of the [...]
Seduction with a dark little twist is the name of the game for Diesel’s new fragrance. Provocatively named, Diesel Loverdose has a few different slants just in the name be it pronounced “Lover Dose” or “Love Overdose” with connotations of potions & magic. The fragrance is proclaimed as a “beautiful but deadly weapon of seduction” made [...]
For its summer launch, (untitled) l’eau, Maison Martin Margiela has added a burst of citrus freshness to their radically original (untitled) fragrance. Taking its lead from the conceptual minimalism and artisan cool of the fashion house, an unusual double distillation process is applied to mandarin orange and lemon as well as to crushed leaves, whose [...]
In a perfume world where the transitory summer fragrance season often means the same summer scent released in an updated bottle each year, Stella McCartney’s Sheer always presents a brand new girl every May. Perhaps this is due to the success of the original Stella McCartney perfume, but with Stella Sheer you actually do get [...]
“A white flower with a dark heart” The luxury Omani perfumier, Amouage, have turned to Puccini’s Madame Butterfly for inspiration for its newest fragrance launch. Creative Director Christopher Chong loves to tell a story with his fragrance and the Italian opera provides a dramatic backdrop of sweetness and tragedy for the new Honour fragrances for [...]
The Jean Paul Gaultier Summer Edition fragrances read like a history book of the designer’s summer clothing collections – with each bottle ‘dressed’ to reflect the current catwalk stand out pieces. When launching his fragrance range in 1993, what could be more natural from the flamboyant designer than to encase the sweet smelling liquids in [...]
Issey Miyake is of course one of the trailblazers of Japanese minimalist fashion. And as a rule, the L’Eau d’Issey fragrances reflect that monochrome creativity in their silver, white and black. But the 2011 summer limited edition fragrances take on a light, more joyous exterior – this year we are told they are, “At the [...]
Infusion de Rose is Prada’s fourth exclusive fragrance to explore natural ingredients with a modern point of view, following Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger, Infusion de Tubéreuse and Infusion de Vétiver. The mixture of ingredients – fresh rose petals mingling with tea, roses, honey, and mint leaves – that mingle in this sweet, mischievous scent create [...]
“Things of the earth exist only a little. True reality is only in dreams.” Charles Baudelaire Luxury perfumiers, Amouage, have launched Memoir, their brand new fragrances that offer an objective, individualistic mood for men and women. Memoir Man is harmonious and challenging. Base-notes include Frankincense, Lavender, Oakmoss, Leather and Tobacco provide a resonant backdrop for [...]
After the success of Infusion d’Iris Eau de Parfum, Prada has launched Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette. Under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada, Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette was blended by perfumer Daniela Andrier, and we think it is a fresher and more floral interpretation of the original Infusion d’Iris. The bottle is vintage style, in frosted glass with [...]
