I have just finished this travel-size bottle of Molecule 01 + Ginger by .

I must admit I am sad that it is finished. It was such a fun, uplifting companion: bright, fizzy ginger on that velvety Iso E Super base. It always made me feel energized, a little more playful. One of those scents that is so effortless and so easy to grab when you are not sure what to wear.

I’m on a “no new perfume” diet at the moment, trying to use the scents that I already own. But if I manage to finish another bottle from my collection, this one is very high on my shopping list!

Have you tried any of the Molecule + line? Which one was your favorite?

One of the most fun brands I discovered in Paris Perfume Week a few months ago was . I must admit I have never heard of them before, but their stand was so fun and colorful, it immediately drew me in!

Originally a Brazilian pharmacy founded in 1870, Granado has since evolved into a beauty brand with gorgeously packaged soaps, skincare, and now a playful perfume line: all very well priced.

Long story short, I was greeted by a very enthusiastic and kind brand representative and, as they did not have samples, they kindly gifted me a travel size bottle of ‘Jardim Real’ (yes, they were very generous!)!

‘Jardim Real’ opens with a fresh, green brightness. At first, petitgrain and neroli hit, then the composition softens into a floral heart with a delicate orange blossom and a musky-woody base. This scent is not complex, but has that effortless elegance that makes it perfect for everyday wear, especially if you love citrusy florals with a classic twist. To me, it feels like a nod to vintage colognes, but lighter, more modern, and very wearable. Perfect for hot summer days, and office!

Have you heard of Granado before? Or tried anything from their range? I’d love to know!

‘Wood Sage & Sea Salt’ has been in our home for years. Technically, it is my husband’s, as it was a birthday gift from me, but I’ve quietly adopted it. I never wrote a proper review about it. Perhaps, it’s so easygoing that it fades into the background. I liked it a lot when we got it, but over time, I found myself getting a bit bored with it. It’s subtle, understated, and at times, maybe even a little too polite.

That changed recently. With the crazy heat we’ve had in the Netherlands, I “re-discovered” it, and it’s perfect for hot days. Airy, mineral, slightly salty, and calm. Like a cool breeze on sun-warmed skin. A subtle summer staple. It makes you feel comfortable, quietly elegant, and a bit more at ease with the world.

It’s quite surprising, even to me, how my perfume collection has recently expanded with tomato note-based fragrances. I would not say I am obsessed with this note, but who knows. Perhaps, it’s just that my nose gravitates towards tomato note-based fragrances.

This time, I would like to introduce you to ‘L’eau Rouge Heirloom’ fragrance. I collaborated with again, and I was kindly given this bottle to test and write a review.

When I spray ‘L’eau Rouge Heirloom’, it greets my nose with green, but soft, natural facets. Green and herbaceous fragrances can often lean sharp and sometimes overpowering, but this one feels gentle and balanced on my skin. A subtle hint of citrus lifts the composition beautifully, and there’s a delicate basil note I really enjoy: it’s present but not overpowering. ‘L’eau Rouge Heirloom’ is a pretty linear fragrance, meaning that it does not shift dramatically from top to base notes. I quite like that. It suits the relaxed, effortless character of this scent.

It might not be the most unique fragrance I’ve ever encountered, but with summer around the corner, I can already see it becoming a go-to. It’s refreshing, invigorating, and simply fun to wear!

What charmed me the most was the incredibly creative packaging! Instead of a standard box, the perfume comes in a can, just like real canned tomatoes. And the cap? It’s a small, artistic sculpture that adds a playful, original touch. This clever design makes the ritual of putting on the scent really fun!

All in all, ‘L’eau Rouge Heirloom’ is a fresh, easygoing scent that’s perfect for warmer days. Its charm lies in its simplicity, wearability, and creative presentation. If you’re curious about tomato leaf notes or just looking for a fresh summer pick-me-up with a twist, I would definitely recommend trying it!

Any fans of tomato leaf based scents here? 😊

I am on a 2 week vacation in Portugal and of course I had to take a few perfumes to enjoy here.

One of the scents I took with me is ‘Sea, Sud & Sun’ by . It perfectly fits the location we are staying at and the vibes around: a bit sweet, a bit ozonic, citrusy and musky, with a hint of orange blossom (here in Azeitao area it blossoms as crazy now). If I had to compare it, it’s like ‘Phylosikos’ by Diptyque and ‘Nice Bergamote’ by Essential Parfums had a baby.

I also really love the tiny bottle that is so easy to take with me and re-apply this scent throughout the day! Perfect for travels!

By the way, during ‘Esxence’, I visited their stand and the staff and the co-founder were extremely welcoming and friendly! 🌸🌸🌸💕

What scents are you planning to take for your vacation? Any recommendations?
