  UERMI UD Ikat, EN Lace, OH Denim Extreme, My Tuxedo

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  The UERMI project is an olfactory wardrobe. But not in the sense that fashionable perfume stylists understand. Creators Aurora Carrara and Palmiro Picquin sought to combine scents with the tactile and visual sensations of textures and fabrics, conveying through perfume the touch of silk, the roughness of denim, or the creak of vinyl. It's a challenging task, but UERMI never stops exploring new combinations.

  Bandit Supreme Robert Piguet

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  I've been saying for a long time that Robert Piguet's Bandit is unlike anything else. Germaine Cellier "painted" the great leather chypre with sweeping, broad brushstrokes. Greenery, bitterness, a velvety southern night with its intoxicating floral scent, and then, all at once, tough black leather and an unfiltered cigarette.

  Santal Pao Rosa L’Art & La Matière Guerlain

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  The difference between genuine niche perfumery and the stylized versions of the "big" perfume houses is immediately apparent. Yes, the focus is on raw materials, all those tired "precious ingredients" in press releases. Yes, all the bottles are identical, and maybe even feature mother-of-pearl and rhinestones for customers in countries where oil gushes right out of the window. But brands like Guerlain don't, and never have, attempted to appeal to the sophisticated consumer.

  Tonka Imperiale and Spiritueuse Double Vanille L’Art & La Matière Guerlain

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  I bought Tonka Imperiale as gifts twice, but I never added it to my collection. It turns out that spending half an hour with someone wearing it is enough to leave me satiated for a month.

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  Admit it, you've been waiting for something new from Estée Lauder for a long time, too. Lately, it felt like all the creative energy was being focused on Tom Ford or By Kilian, or anywhere but the main, foundational brand that started it all. But Estée Lauder hasn't been forgotten. Eight new fragrances in elegant bottles are already hitting stores and making waves.

  Voyages Imaginaires Parfums

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal could easily earn an "exceeds expectations" rating for potion-making. In their new project, Voyages Imaginaires, all five compositions are not perfumes, but magical and strange concoctions, with a slightly artisanal, casual style.

  The best fragrances of 2025

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  Every final text begins with a lament about how difficult it is to choose the best from a good selection. In 2025, there were even more good perfumes than usual, although the overall number of launches was 20 percent lower due to logistical issues and the general economic downturn.

  Siberian Wellness cosmetics with rose

  Posted in: Perfumes and Fragrances

  I tried the new rose cosmetics line from Siberian Wellness, and I insist it's a must-have for all rose lovers. I'll be stocking up and giving them away like crazy. It's a limited edition, which means if the general public doesn't appreciate the scarlet, green, berry, and honey roses, there won't be a reissue. And they won't, as we all know roses are viewed with suspicion in our country.
