In this week's episode we're leaning into the our nostalgia needs and exploring the wonderful world of vintage inspired fragrances.Here's what we discuss:@guerlain Shalimar L’Essence Eau de Parfum Intense“Shalimar celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark this exceptional event, the Maison is revealing Shalimar L’Essence, a new intense variation which concentrates Shalimar’s distinctive codes: its quintessence. A homage to the timeless modernity, daring and seduction of Guerlain’s most famous scent for women.Delphine Jelk has added the precious Madagascan vanilla tincture stemming from Guerlain's ancestral know-how to the ethylvanillin found in Jacques Guerlain’s original formula, giving Shalimar a new intensity.Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar’s amber note unfolds. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses it with new facets – smooth and woody with a hint of leather.”“To wear Shalimar is to let your senses take over.” - Jacques Guerlain@bienaime_1935 Vermeil @gather.fragrance & @fioleukWe’ve previously talked about this one quite a lot, but you must also check out their gloriously evocative new fragrance…Bienaimé Vesprée @gather.fragrance & @fioleuk“Vesprée captures the quiet, luminous moment between day and night. As the sun dips and the air cools, an elegant breeze of cardamom, bergamot and lavender unfurls - soft, serene, and full of anticipation.TOP NOTES Cardamom, Bergamot, Lavender, Carrot Seed, Celery SeedHEART NOTES Peru Balsam, Rose, Geranium, IrisBASE NOTES Vetiver, Benzoin, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Labdanum, Tonka Bean, SandalwoodThe fragrance opens with fresh spice and aromatic brightness before revealing a warm, resinous heart wrapped in iris and rose. As it settles, Vesprée becomes deeper and more textural, grounded in vetiver, benzoin and smooth woods. The result is a softly glowing, gender-fluid composition - equally comforting and refined, evoking the stillness and mystery of twilight.@jouissanceparfums La Bague d’O(1954 inspired) “Beguiling, intoxicating, romantic.

A rich & powdery heart of incense & purple iris. Sensuality is enhanced by cistus, tobacco & amber.” Lipstick, leather & smoke.@jeroboamperfumes OriginoTop notes are Bergamot and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Juniper and Nutmeg; base notes are Sandalwood and White Musk.“Worn on bare skin, Origino speaks for itself. The Esperanto word for beginnings, Origino was invented by perfumer Vanina Muracciole and marks nothing less than a new beginning; the genesis of a completely new brand and the creation of a new olfactory universe. Whilst every Jeroboam perfume is based around a musky cocktail, each one is distinct, enticing and seductive and given that the great majority of modern perfumes have a musky base, the Jeroboam stable of unisex perfume extracts are all designed to have universal appeal. Origino has top notes of bergamot and pink peppercorn that give way to a heart of juniper and nutmeg which, in turn, gives way to a base composed of sandalwood and a blend of enigmatic musks.”@andreamaack Craft“Purifying aldehydes and smouldering incense recall the crystal-clear mystery of a frozen lake at nightfall. Glittering metallic notes promise salvation, grounded in the holy sacrament of ancient resin.Top notes: Aldehydes, IceHeart notes: Cold metal, Cedar Wood Base notes: Elemi, Patchouli.”@erisparfums Ma Bête @wild_iris_perfumerie“MA BÊTE (My Beast) caresses you with the suggestiveness of perfumed fur. A collision of the floral and the animal, MA BÊTE combines a regal Tunisian Neroli with spices and a 50 percent overdose of Antoine Lie's own animalic cocktail."Ma Bête is a fierce beast with raunchy elegance." – Antoine Lie (Perfumer)Available in 50 ml / 1.7 fl. oz. atomizer bottles at eau de parfum concentration.FRAGRANCE NOTESAldehydes, Tunisian Neroli, Indian NutmegIndian Cypriol, Honduran Styrax, Indian Jasmine SambacVirginia Cedarwood, Indonesian Patchouli, Synthetic Animalic Accord.”

Incense is having a real moment and in this episode we're exploring why and also talking through some of our favourite incense scents.Why is incense so popular again? Incense has moved from temples and churches into living rooms,studios and perfume wardrobes; it’s become a chic, modern ritual asmuch as a smell.Trend reports link the boom to the hunger for spiritual and holisticpractices – incense is an easy way to pause, “set an intention” andcreate a little ceremony around everyday life.Incense vs frankincense “Incense” is the whole blend you burn – it might be on a stick, cone, coilor rope – and can contain resins, woods, herbs, spices and florals. “Frankincense” (also called olibanum) is one particular resin, tappedfrom Boswellia sacra trees in Oman, Yemen and parts of the Horn ofAfrica. Etymology you can play with: “frankincense” comes from Old French“franc encens” – high quality or “pure” incense – while “incense” itselfgoes back to Latin for “to burn.” When a perfume lists “incense” as a note, it may mean a full accord ofresins (frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, labdanum, elemi, woods,flowers) or a composition that highlights frankincense alone.What incense actually smells like Frankincense: resinous yet airy; earthy, piney, slightly smoky with asurprising citrus brightness. Myrrh: darker, spicier, slightly medicinal and very “churchy”, oftenassociated with ritual and antiquity. Opoponax: honeyed, vanillic, balsamic and comforting – it softens theharsher edges of smoke. Labdanum: rich, ambery, leathery and almost animalic; gives incenseperfumes that plush, warm body. Elemi: sharp, lemony, peppery resin that brings sparkle and lift to thesmoke. Woods (sandalwood, cedar etc.): add dryness, creaminess orpencilshaving smokiness and form the backbone of many incenseheavyfragrances.Quotes from perfumers: Francis Kurkdjian on why he loves Japanese incense at home: partlypracticality, because “it fills the room in five minutes, whereas candlestake ages.” Yasmin Sewell on the moodshift: “Where a candle may take twentyminutes to resonate in your space, when you light incense there is animmediate scent that fills the room.” Sewell again on why incense made more sense than candles for herbrand’s next step: “I felt that incense really connected with our values,since it’s been used in spiritual rituals for so long,” and “what I reallylove about incense is that it shifts the mood instantly.” Lyn Harris on her daily ritual: “It sets a spiritual tone to my day,” andincense is “an ethereal veil that lingers in the air.” She burns it in themorning to set her mood, sometimes midday to reinvigorate her senses,and even before bed so “there is a sensual haze passing over mynostrils before I sleep.” Chris Rusak on the psychology of burning it: incense is “a great vehiclefor empowerment or catharsis via controlled destruction” and “incenseuse is intentional. It requires fire or directed heat for full expression,which we must effect, contain, and control, in order to destroy it but notourselves.” How it’s harvested: frankincense resin oozes from cuts in theBoswellia sacra tree and dries into golden “tears”, sometimes called“frankincense tears” or “olibanum tears”. The jinn love story: a girl from the jinn falls in love with a human boy –forbidden, of course. As punishment she’s turned into a tree; her griefbecomes crystal tears that people burn on coal for healing smoke with abitter taste that mourns lost love. Ecology: frankincense forests in northern Ethiopia are under threat asthey’re cleared for agriculture, with scientists warning production couldhalve over the next 15 years. Mood altering science: frankincense contains a compound calledincensole acetate, which has been shown to have pain relieving andpsychoactive effects – helping with depression and anxiety andactivating a warmth perception channel in the skin. That might explain why those “sexy church smells” (as Alice du Parcqso memorably terms them) can feel both spiritually elevated andphysically comforting – sacred, nostalgic, a bit forbidden and strangelyswoony all at once.Suzy’s faves: @amouage Purpose 50@jeroboamperfumes Ambra extrait@eaudeboujee Gilded @vancleefarpels Perfume Extraordinaire Encens Précieux@ataratmalondon Aroha Absolute@nissaba.fragrances BerberaNicola's choices:@aromariamx giant incense sticks@the_virtue Holy Smoke@lartisanparfumeur Passage d'Enfer@matierepremiereparfums Crystal Saffron
