Photos: L’Eau Serge Lutens

March 31, 2010

We’ve all been there — days when the brain hits overload from too much input: morning traffic, talk radio, co-workers complaining in the break room, a loud stereo next door, one too many police sirens screaming past, a cellphone that never stops ringing.

MONA DI ORIO AMYITIS: After I groggily applied some Amyitis this a.m., I stumbled downstairs to get myself a much needed cup of coffee.

Cereus No. 14 and Six Scents (Series 1) No. 5

Vero Profumo Rubj

November 25, 2008

Unlike Vero Kern’s Onda, which is a fragrance I wanted to love but was forced to ditch at the altar after it mutated from a breath of rich earth and grass into a jug of laundry detergent (but that’s just my experience — Onda sends other wearers into what can only be described as near [...]

September 22, 2008

So while the stock market is melting like a cake left out in the rain (my apologies to Jimmy Webb), the march of niche fragrances still goes on — though one wonders just for how long.

Me: “So, I’ve heard a lot about you . . . “ Fidji: “I’m 42 years young!” Me: “Uh, I wasn’t really concerned about your age, but now that you brought it up . . . “ Fidji: “Sparkling! Vivacious! Did they tell you I was sparkling and vivacious?!” Me: “For your age.” Fidji: “42 [...]
