Of Gardens, Desire and Fragrance - Visiting Abderrazzak Benchaâbane
the noises of all the other tourists. We agree: what a pity not to meet Monsieur Benchaâbane. Impressed by this garden, beside all aspects specific to perfumes, now we would be perfectly prepared for interviewing him. The Moroccan gardener and botanist who restored this walkable piece of art together with YSL was Abderrazzak Benchaâbane, today perfumer and owner...

A Passage to India
off with a creamy Vanilla in the base. The overall vibe I get here is of dancing the night away on a rooftop terrace, a fuity cocktail in one hand while music pounds deafeningly :) ... very bling!!

How To Write a Good Perfume Review
frown and call the own taste into question. Better: Niche Quality for Small Money. Also, a little question mark behind an otherwise too strong title is advisable.
