Today I am trying Nanadebary’s latest fragrance release, Green, which features notes of citron, bergamot, basil, cardamom, nutmeg, thyme, musk, and vetiver.
The top notes are sharp green citrus. It smells very much like lemon verbena, with a fair amount of basil added. The cardamom and nutmeg add a slightly spicy, dusty undertone, but they are considerably more subdued than in the Nanadebary Classic Pink fragrance…
As previously reported, Guerlain is renovating their flagship store on the Champs Elysées, and they are releasing some of their old fragrances in limited editions. In addition to the fragrances mentioned in the post linked to above, they will be releasing 3 new scents by Francis Kurkdjian, Daniela Andrier and Olivier Polge, and a new Baby Guerlain line. (via parfumessence) It is rumored that the Baby Guerlain line was created by Olivia Giacobetti, and that the 3 new scents will be called Angélique Noire (Daniela Andrier), Cuir Beluga (Olivier Polge), and Rose Barbare (Francis Kurkdjian). Still no word on how widely available all these fragrances will be.
