I’m usually not a big fan of tuberose scents. They often feel too harsh and overwhelming for me. But this summer, while testing ‘Tubéreuse Astrale’ by , I was pleasantly surprised.

‘Tubéreuse Astrale’ is fluffy, creamy, and a little sugary, but not too gourmand or sickly sweet. Definitely a white floral, which I sometimes struggle with, but here everything is blended so beautifully, and balanced so well that I just kept reaching for it all summer (it also scored me a few compliments ☺️).

What I love most is that it feels feminine, but at the same time has this subtle masculine edge that makes it modern and unexpected. I think that comes from the cinnamon touches and the leather accord. The result is a very sexy, passionate scent: it could easily become someone’s signature.

Another stunning creation by . He really knows how to make perfumes with amazing longevity and unforgettable sillage. Well done!

Are you a fan of tuberose scents? What is your opinion about this one?

Some bottles are finally empty!

Another 13 by – this scent is for life. It creates an amazing aura around you that is very irresistible but not overpowering. I just need to have it in my collection, so I already opened a new full bottle :)

Mojave Ghost by - soft, airy, like sunlight on desert skin. Instead of 50ml, I have now 250ml bottle. That says it all.

Gypsy Water by - fresh woods and freedom bottled. Should also have gotten a 250ml bottle, but bought 50ml instead. Otherwise, I am broke 🙈🤣

Le Temps Perdu by . It is very close to Another 13. Loved wearing it, but won’t go for a full bottle.

Orpheon by was definitely not love at first sniff. I have a review from a year ago where I wrote how disappointing it felt. It proves that some fragrances need time, just like a piece of art. They aren’t always immediately understood or appreciated.

Now Orpheon is high on my wishlist. It is a sort of scent that will fit any occasion: date night, office, a party, meeting the in-laws, or even a wedding. I own quite many perfumes, and even if I really love them, I cannot use them every single day. Orpheon is different: it is a scent that I do not get bored with. I find myself reaching for it more and more, and now I’m dreaming of adding a full bottle to my collection. I try to keep my collection curated and well-loved, so I am very selective when buying new perfumes. But I am convinced that Orpheon will become a full-bottle purchase soon! 😉

What about you? What fragrance is at the top of your wishlist right now?

Although I’ve been back in the Netherlands for a few days already, I still wanted to share the perfumes I took with me to Lithuania, and the ones I truly enjoyed wearing there.

Tuberose Astrale by . It was not love from the first sniff, but the more I wear it, the more I like it. It is quite sweet, but not sickening. I love how it performs beautifully in hot weather! Amazing silage and longevity (like most of Maisons Crivelli’s perfumes). I even got a few compliments!

Vetiver Ecarlate by . When you want something unique, different, but still easy and fun to wear! It gives a little kick and also lovely for humid days!

Poeme de Sagano by . I just cannot get enough of it. I bought it because it has a nostalgic value: it reminds me of Bon Pari candies from my childhood. Officially it’s considered green, but to me it feels more citrusy-fruity: joyful, nostalgic, and so easy to wear.

Alien by . I brought it with me to Lithuania because of my 40th birthday that had 80’s – 2000’s theme. Alien was my signature scent when I was a student and Alien has really helped me to go into that party mood! 😄

Vouloir etre ailleurs by . I picked this one up after a previous Lithuanian holiday. It’s meant to evoke linden blossom, but on me it leans very green and a bit too strong. So I am not sure yet…

Have you tried any of these? Which one would you be most curious to try?

As you might noticed, I took some time off from posting content about perfumes. This year was filled with events, trips, exhibitions, workshops, articles related to scents, and I felt I needed a bit of a break. But now, I’m back, ready to talk, breathe, and live perfume again.

The comeback spotlight goes to ‘Eau Triple Iraqi Beetroot & Egyptian Rhubarb’, though technically, it’s my sister’s. We found it together in Paris last November. I adore all « Les Jardins Français’ collection, but this one was quite intriguing. I find notes that surprise and soothe me in this scent: tender and slightly earthy beetroot, tangy rhubarb all softened with patchouli and musk.

This perfume is noticeable, but not loud, and I would use it to set myself into a certain mood: a bit grounded, back to nature, relaxed.

Have you tried anything from Officine Buly? Which scent stole your heart?

I cannot believe it was just a week ago, but I had one of the most fun (my own) birthday celebrations ever! 💛💛💛 with the most dearest and sweetest people around, with cozy talks, nostalgic memories, amazing food, a bit of dancing, swimming and lots of laughing!

The biggest treasure in life are not things, career, money, but people, who surround you! 😘😘😘

I am extremely grateful to my family and my family in law who helped to make this party happen! It is the best gift! ♥️♥️♥️

I cannot believe that it has been 4 years since I first went to : one of the world’s most respected perfume schools. The two-week Summer School was an intensive and eye-opening experience that gave structure and courage to turn my passion into a business.

In my new article for , I share what the program was really like, why I chose it, and what I took away from it.

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!
