One of the most delightful moments whenever I visit a super-market, is spending at least half an hour browsing the bath products shelves. I hugely enjoy handling the bottles and reading their labels before popping or unscrewing their lids open and sniffing what's inside. Sometimes I wish there was a testing bathroom available somewhere in the vicinity, but I usually don't dare...

Last week I was wondering what fragrance genre has escaped my spleen by remaining unbashed thus far. And then I read that Paris Hilton had launched two new fragrances, modestly named Heiress Limited Edition and Limited Anniversary Edition, with the latter being launched to commemorate the ten years of her "stellar" trajectory in the fragrance universe. That was it! Celebrity...

As if 2015 had not already blighted me enough with fires and floods, it had another nice surprise for me to savour during its last days.Dior having probably concluded that old crones (myself included) had their fair share of Poisons thus far, decided the time was right for breeding a bunch of young witches under some alluring incubating neon lights. So it announced the launch of Poison...

Have you ever thought that a beloved fragrance might act as a much better advisor than many people would ever do? Have you ever radically changed your disposition on some burdensome crux after wearing a scent anew, especially when it's one you used to wear when you were somebody else? Have you ever felt that a perfume has what it takes to act as your personal lodestar and guide...

Euridice and Cassandra meet for an afternoon coffee in their favourite cosy spot. Euridice can't help but notice that her usually upbeat friend is kinda laden by some version of the "thousand yard stare" while she's languidly imbibing her beverage when not ignoring it. But that aside, she smells like a million bucks! Euridice, feeling that her cheap body spray...

Perfumes are some of the most potent image generators out there. And I believe that a good deal of this potence lies in the way they were christened. As William S. Burroughs allegedly used to say, language is a virus from outer space. And the most effective one ever I might add, since it has infected us all. Being a glossology enthusiast, perfume names never cease to intrigue me, or even...

2015 has proven itself a very successful year thus far, and is still going strong. During this unforgettable Earth's frolic stroll around the Sun, I managed to get my vintage perfumed paws on a gothic house and a swimming pool! The tiny detail that all this occured because of a fire in the place I live and a flood in my little seashore house, shouldn't avert me from being...

Last year I tried to modernise myself a bit, cause being half-covered in spider webs had begun to look a little unsettling. Thus I decided to sort of give up my 30 years old smoking habit and convert to e-cigarettism, the newfound religion for nicotine repenters. At some point I bought a new battery cause my old spare one had already raised its leg for kicking the bucket,...

The most adorable humanoid ever to exit a lab. In all her "baaada boom" cuteness. Eating half a chickens brood in one take while growling "Chicken gooooood!" adds to the mystery of how she keeps herself thin as a dagger's blade. And equally lethal. The perfect companion to get plastered with, in any fishy bar of Alpha Centauri, no matter the size of the brawl...

Yeap, movies and their olfactory assocciations. Any of you reading my blog should have seen it coming. For the rest, I hope you'll have a good time reading it, just as I enjoyed making it. Who has not placed her/himself in an anti-hero's shoes? Who has not fallen in love with a movie character? Who has not been jealous of the audacity of a villain? Who has not searched...

Let's talk dirty. No, you're not going to read a porn script (if such a thing exists), but my personal thoughts about fragrances which could be illegal in some not so old regimes for their unequivocally corrosive effects in morality and decency. And I'm not talking about jokes like Sécrétions Magnifiques or Al-Khatt, which rely solely on their shock value. I'm not talking about...

those wondering what these lesser saints are, I explain it here.http://www.parfumo.net/Users/GothicHeart/Blog/Arti... So here are fourteen more of them. Seven for girls and seven for boys. One for each day of the week. Since finding a couple wearing any of their possible combinations has become rarer than a good fragrance launched after 2000, I think that if ever happen...
