A thingy I did awhile back. These some ppl I created for a story-line I’ve been working on for a couple years n I made some simple character refs so I didn’t have to keep guessing what colors to use for them.

Akro Infuse, Rendez-Vous, Parfum D'Empire showcase and other reviews - 2024

An intriguing cup of tea from Akro, gender-bending from Rendez-Vous and several evocative gems from Parfum D'Empire

An unusual cup of tea was on offer in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, in the form of the new Akro Infuse (Olivier Cresp). In the same broadcast, I talked about the intriguing Rendez-Vous, composed by Antoine Lie, after which I presented a showcase review of a brand that doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it deserves from me, Parfum D’Empire, all of whose wares are created by its…

perfume mini-reviews: lemon gourmands

i spent most of last month looking for a perfume that reminds me of lemon bars and these are the samples i got my hands on. eating lemon bars as i type this for a full immersive experience

🍋 Xerjoff Lira 🍋

there’s no lemon listed in the notes but it smells like lemon cake with vanilla frosting

dry down lowkey reminds me of indult tihota

after the citrus fades, it becomes a bit too sweet and vanilla for my taste

(literally smells like vanilla but also vanilla in the sense that it’s pretty basic)

lasts long tho!!

smells delicious but it’s missing something

🍋 Akro Bake 🍋

opening is lemony fresh. smells so much like pure lemon EO that it’s bordering on lemon scented cleanser

where’s the rum???? :/

akro bake: you think lira’s dry down is basic? hold my nonexistent rum

there’s a hint of that metallic sharpness from those ambroxan-adjacent synthetic woody ambers that i’m so fracking tired of

i feel like i’m dragging this perfume too much but it’s actually a nice scent

it’s just that it falls flat compared to the others on this list

🍋 Kerosene Unknown Pleasures 🍋

oh my goddd????

toasty edged-lemon bars with a bite of ginger

+ caramel custard that also kinda smells like heated condensed milk

served with earl grey tea on the side

lira: who are you?

unknown pleasures: i’m kinda like you but i’m so much better

longevity isn’t as good as lira’s but idc idc

i like that the projection doesn’t punch me in the face

🍋 Dolce & Gabbana Devotion 🍋

the least “foody” scent on this list

joins akro bake at the nonexistent rum table

remember when i said akro bake’s lemon was toeing the line between lemon EO and lemon cleanser? this one crossed the line

the lemon fades after a while and all that’s left is a floral vanilla

smells nice when i get whiffs of it from a distance

if the others on this list were trying to replicate the scent of a lemon pastry, devotion is the stylized rendition of one

i think i’d like this more if i weren’t so averse to white florals

FINAL RANKING:

Kerosene Unknown Pleasures

Xerjoff Lira

Akro Bake

D&G Devotion

#i’m gonna be honest #i went on a lemon gourmand hunt because of heartless by marissa meyer #anway unknown pleasures is exactly what i was looking for so i immediately got a full bottle #perfume review #perfume #kerosene #kerosene unknown pleasures #akro #akro bake #xerjoff #xerjoff lira #dolce & gabbana #dolce & gabbana devotion #mine

Night is supposed to be romantic, sexy, carnal, but if this is how a first date smelled, I there wouldn’t be a second. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a musky rose-oud with animalic cumin in the mix. I have a few rose-cumin and rose-oud perfumes that I love, but this doesn't smell like any of them because the musk is quite dirty, almost pissy. Thankfully, it's cleaner and sweeter in the winter, easier for me to wear. The rose is sweet but thin… not quite a bouquet, more of an idea, and I keep wishing I had the real thing in my hands. *gifted #akro #akronight #oliviercresp #perfumecollection #roseperfume #nicheperfume #nichefragrance #perfumelovers #scentoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CiutWnILf_0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I recently purchased Akro’s sample set from SSENSE on a whim and was pleasantly surprized. Each scent offers a remarkably faithful rendering of a familiar ingredient before drying down into a pleasant, well executed designer finish. I’ll also note they are reasonably priced at US$80/30ml and US$160/100ml. While this feels a bit high, it’s in step with the rampant inflation in the fragrance sector in recent years.

Awake - This is like sticking your face into a freshly ground bag of coffee beans. The scent has massive projection. The coffee accord fades into a more generic gourmand toffee sweetness with a touch of bitterness. Awake is what I think Cresp wanted to do with YSL's Black Opium. I couldn't detect any coffee in Black Opium even though it's in the notes pyramid - it’s your predictable loud designer sugarbomb. The two fragrances are presented as dissimilar, but we start getting some family resemblance to Black Opium in the sweet toffee dry down.

Dark - Dark is something of a redundant scent, given other similar sweet chocolatey scents on the market like Tom Ford’s classic Tobacco Vanille, Prada’s Candy Night and so on. Cresp’s take is not a bitter dark, but one that is a little fudgey, if not milky. The drydown becomes more gummy in texture as the sweetness becomes more amped up.

Malt - Possibly the most unsuccessful in this collection, Malt edges uncomfortably close to acrylic paint on my skin instead of the peaty darkness I was expecting. This is due to the “seaweed” note which is creative, but not necessarily in a good way. I appreciate that this scent is not sweet and predictable, with the liquor itself opening more sour than boozy but the “seaweed” dominates the composition with its salty, metallic character, one that is shared with Sécrétions Magnifiques. It overpowers the original concept, even in the dry down as the woods start to strengthen. Definitely one to test on skin first.

Smoke - It seems like every new niche house needs to release a smoky fragrance these days. You know the type. It’s a bit spicy with a touch of leather, maybe some bull-bore butch cade or BBQ patchouli, a sweet amber in the base. Thankfully, Smoke offers a somewhat different take. It’s not particularly spicy, opening with more of a medicinal edge and an unexpected grain-like note that dries down into something more ashy, then vanillaic. The cade is gentle, no acrid plumes of burning rubber. The tobacco is similarly subtle, no cliched, honey drenched leaves. Smoke doesn’t muscle its way into the genre but rather, sets itself slightly apart with its weirdness. Unfortunately, Smoke also gives me a wallop of a headache so it’s a hard pass.

Haze - Haze is a cannabis fragrance, even though this is not mentioned in the notes pyramid or promotional copy save accompanying photographs. Instead there’s reference to absinthe which I think is a cop out as there isn’t any anise, just some cooling notes.

I had low expectations for Haze because in my experience, cannabis fragrances never resemble the real deal. No one wants to smell like skunk, those unpleasant thiols that the terpenes in cannabis resemble so closely. However, Haze is probably the closest approximation I've come across while remaining entirely wearable. At first whiff I immediately thought, yet another fragrance cashing in on trying to be edgy. But then, this dank bud starting taking shape. There's definitely no skunk, but Cresp managed to accurately capture that deep, vegetal aspect of cannabis that comes up from below. It's like he modified the top, editing weed’s citrusy, hoppy top to something closer to a traditional fougere, deleted the skunky middle and then kept the bottom. I'm genuinely impressed. As a whole, it still does not smell like cannabis, but you can pick out a shared dankness. Dries down to a pleasant, barbershoppy aromatic.

Night - Unlike the others, Night doesn’t reproduce a substance so much as an experience of a late night out clubbing, your body pressed up against some stranger’s. Akro’s most polarizing scent confronts the nose with what smells to me like sweaty male crotch with a touch of leather contrasting with a synthetic, metallic and somewhat powdery rose. As the assertive cumin and harsh edges of the rose soften, the scent becomes downright snuggly. I enjoy animalic fragrances and Night’s post-coital dry down but the rose is not my style. It also feels too dissonant with the rest of the scent so it misses the mark for me. Having said that, this fragrance celebrates Cresp at his most unapologetic. I am reminded of the devil-may-care dirty patchouli in his blockbuster hit, Angel; the daring dash of cumin he introduced in his reformulation of Femme. At a time when “niche” is being reduced to a never ending deluge of safe bets and cliched releases, an affordable, insouciant, raunchy romp of a fragrance is like a breath of fresh air.

Top 10 Best Perfumes Of 2023

Here we go... my list of the Top 10 best perfumes of #2023. Happy new year, one and all!

It’s often been said that perfumery doesn’t set trends: it simply latches onto the coat-tails of those formed by other creative endeavours. Perhaps this is why we had to wait until 2023 to detect signs of an overall toning down of fragrance compositions: ‘quiet luxury’ has been a feature of fashion and interior design for a little while, so it was probably inevitable that it would make itself…
