This is a fantastic interview with @darrenalanperfumes.bsky.social about safety in perfume - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Debunks a lot of myths and provides really helpful ways of thinking about regulatory and why safe practice matters.

Actually I used the Ambrarome base! So it does have a slight nod to Shalimar! No it is not in my discovery set because it's a limited edition, not part of my permanent collection 😒

Cuir de Russie is a study in contrast. Light, fresh citrus and delicate florals are combined with deep, resinous base notes, spices, and leather to create an olfactive tapestry that is distinguished and complex.

First Snowfall captures the essence of the holidays with tart cranberry, peppermint candy canes, and winter pine. It features warm cinnamon, clove, gingerbread cookies, and soft alba rose alongside a base of church incense, sandalwood, oakmoss, vanilla, white musk, and cedar.

I'm enjoying my scent of the night, EstΓ©e Lauder's legendary Cinnabar. This spicy amber was released in 1978 and perfumed by Bernard Chant and Josephine Catapano.
