This week we’re talking new London perfume destinations and prescribing scents that whisk you straight to the medina or wrap you in a sensuous tobacco haze.

Suzy visited the brand-new @nishane.official boutique in London’s Mayfair, sharing why she’s so glad this Istanbul-born house has a home on Maddox Street.

Just across town, Suzy explored the new @matierepremiereparfums store in Covent Garden, and why their single-ingredient focus feels so perfect to explore in person. Suzy was wrapped in @matierepremiereparfums Encens Suave Extrait, a smoky-syrupy incense that feels like velvet in candlelight.

Then it’s on to your Perfume Prescriptions…

Listener prescriptions!

Katy Rosenbaum – “the good parts of a Moroccan souk”

Katy asks for a fragrance that smells like the dreamy side of a Moroccan souk – oud, bakhoor, amber, saffron, orange blossom, incense and mint – but with no animalic growl or sweaty cumin.

Suggested for Katy:

@kayali Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom | 24 – sunlit orange blossom, shimmering spice, soft woods.

@kayali Oudgasm Tobacco Oud – honeyed oud, spiced tobacco, praline-smoked warmth.

Layering ideas:

@emiratesprideperfumes Future Oud – inky-modern oud glow.

@emiratesprideperfumes Future Bakhoor – smouldering bakhoor embers in perfume form.

@27_87 Wandervogel – Moroccan mint, cool spice, wandering-soul musk.

@sergelutens Fleur d’Oranger – narcotic orange blossom, honeyed white petals, shadowy spice.

Scott / @blublazerguy’s picks:

@contesdeparfums Marrakesh – sun-baked spices, warm skin, a whisper of cumin.

@aesop Marrakech Intense – vivid souk spices, dust, dry woods.

@marrakechimperial discovery set – a wardrobe of Marrakesh-inspired scents to mix and match your own souk.

Layering @jomalonelondon White Jasmine & Mint with Amber Labdanum – cool garden mint over golden, incense-warmed amber.

Memoirs of a Perfumer Collector – A Night in Marrakesh – inky sky, spiced markets, flickering lantern smoke.

Question from Cardamomefille – sensual, feminine tobacco (pipe, not cigarette)

Cardamomefille is seeking a sensual scent built around warm pipe tobacco, with a clearly feminine side rather than ashtray smoke…

Suggested for Cardamomefille:

@sergelutens Chergui – honeyed pipe tobacco, sun-baked hay, incense-swirled amber.

@guerlain Tobacco Honey – golden honeyed tobacco, plush woods, cozy purr of warmth.

@guerlain Absolus Allegoria Tabac Sahara – smoky desert tobacco, tart raspberry shimmer, ambergris glow.

Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea – boozy cherry pipe tobacco, dry amber, leather and spice wrapped in vanilla.
