Bruno Fazzolari Feu Secret & Cire Trudon Bruma ~ quick fragrance reviews

Posted by Robin on 27 September 2017 45 Comments

Bruno Fazzolari Feu Secret & Cire Trudon Bruma

As September draws to a close — where has this year gone? — I’m trying to catch up on the year’s releases. Here are two more, and look for more multi-scent reviews over the coming month.

Bruno Fazzolari Feu Secret

Secret fire of the alchemists: the elusive scent of iris root smolders with spice, cedar and smoke in a transformative hidden fire. Bright, joyful, ardent.

***

My goal with Feu Secret was to allow a sort of hidden warmth to shine through the cool surface of orris butter and to stay true to the rooty-woody aspects that I find so compelling.1

Feu Secret is from artist and indie perfumer Bruno Fazzolari, and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more mention of it in the comments here…

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 September 2017 2 Comments

A scented soap that looks like a perfume bottle, from Amsterdam-based designer Liza Witte. You didn't know you needed one, right? Now you know. "A Collection of finely handcrafted perfume bottles sculptured in black soap. These finely crafted objects serve as room fragrance and nourishing soap, each subtly revealing its presence as it releases its lush delicate scent or becomes a lavish body wash as it slowly melts away." They are available in a number of shapes and scents; shown is Silhouette No. 15: "A lush and sensuous blend of orange blossom and deliciously ripe oranges, peppered with spicy clove. Rich, warm and fruity flavors evoke memories of a sunny autumn morning in a Tuscany garden." Handmade to order, €90 (oops!) at Liza Witte, found via The Artisan Fragrance Salon at Facebook.
