Santal Tislit by appeared in my posts a few times, but it never got a separate post it deserves. It is time to change that.

Maison Incense is known for the bold, rich, and unconventional compositions. Many of their perfumes are very powerful, rich, but a few are very minimalistic and skin-like. One of those fragrances is ‘Santal Tislit’. This fragrance is a beautiful, creamy, velvety mix of sandalwood, vanilla, jasmine, and a hint of honey that feels both cozy and a little mysterious. I also would say it is a very cocooning, soft, your skin, but better type of scent. To me, it’s a meditative, calming scent that feels perfect for colder weather season.

What do you think about this perfume house? Have you ever tried it?

P.s. I had the pleasure of meeting Philippe Constantin, the lovely soul behind . He lives and breathes perfume, and it shows. Philippe kindly gifted me this fragrance (which I had chosen myself 😉). Even though it has been gifted, my thoughts are entirely my own. 💛

It seems we are getting into a real fall mode here in the Netherlands. The older I get, the more I love this season. Albert Camus once said, ‘Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower,’ and I fully agree with him. Colder days call for warmer sweaters, and of course, for my favorite “sweater perfumes.” These are the scents I love reaching for when the air turns crisp and cozy layers become essential.

Eau Duelle by . Spicy, addictive, not too sweet vanilla scent. This perfume will stay in my collection forever!

Cuir D’orient by . This scent is a soft, slightly powdery, a bit sweet scent with leather facets that gives all the composition that unique sensuality and sophisticated sexiness. For me this scent is like a hug from your long-term partner: it wraps you with a cozy, comfortable hug, but you never know where it might take you ;) It also has an amazing longevity, especially on clothes!

Cri Du Kalahari by . I really love woody, velvety perfumes. This one is woody too, but it has that addictive dryness smell that you cannot get enough of. It is a very special, unusual, and unique scent.

Benjoin Boheme by . One of my favorites! Ambery, woody, cosy, warm. For me, this is the most ‘huggable’, unisex scent I know. It is like someone put a warm blanket on you while you were sleeping on the couch. So happy I still own the old bottle and I use it very sparingly!

Amber Musk by . What I love about this perfume is its subtle complexity. The blend of musk, benzoin, sandalwood, ambroxan, and delicate floral notes gives it a depth that still feels undeniably feminine.

L’Oblio by . Delicate, elegant, and quietly grounding. It’s warm, slightly powdery, and a little earthy. Perhaps not a statement perfume, yet the dent in my bottle speaks for itself.

Tam Dao by . It is a very beautiful, intimate, calm, creamy sandalwood-based fragrance. I constantly re-purchase travel-size bottles of it, and I believe it is time to get a full one.

What’s your go-to coz, ‘sweater’ fragrance this season?

Funny, how the scents I wore last week, reflect what the weather was like. Some days felt like the start of spring, and others felt like real autumn. This is what I wore last week…

Mojave Ghost by : tender, airy, musky.

Garden Song by : luminous, dewy, elegant.

Tonka 25 by : sensual, warm, resinous.

Omnia Crystalline by : graceful, watery, crisp.

Eau Duelle by : comforting, mysterious, addictive.

Kalahari by .official: meditative, dry, soft incense.

Cuir Vegetal by .parfum: raw, grounded, minimal.

Do you let the season guide your perfume choices, or does it not matter to you?

If comfort had a scent, it would probably be ‘Amber Musk’ by . Snuggly, velvety, soft, elegant. One of my favorite ‘sweater’ season fragrances! 🥰

What is your go to ‘sweater’ fragrance?

Last week was quite busy for me and also a bit challenging health-wise. I got an enormous eye infection, so you will not see me here for a while, hahaha. But it is getting better, and no matter what, I still’ve used a few perfumes. Here is my week in scents:

Monday: Santal Blond by . My new sandalwood crush. Light, fresh, quietly confident, and perfectly unisex. Not the most unique scent in the world, but so calmly comforting.

Tuesday: Marfa by .paris. I am still trying to finish this travel-size bottle (it takes forever!). Loved by many, but a bit too strong and heavy for me. I prefer softer tuberose-based scents.

Wednesday: Si by . My recent (re)purchase and dangerously addictive. I had it years ago and decided to bring it back. Not totally “me,” but among today’s sweet designer scents, this one is beautifully wearable.

Thursday: Gypsy Water by . It will forever be a staple in my collection. I adore it, but somehow always “save” it too much. Time to stop doing that and use it more!

Friday: 1969 by . A travel-size gone, full bottle purchased. A divine autumn combo of chocolate and patchouli. Sensual, cozy, and a little bit adventurous.

Saturday: Powdered Veil by . She is soft and cozy, but not quite full-bottle worthy. Nice, but my heart leans more towards Peau Santal (definitely on my wishlist).

Sunday: No perfume. I wasn’t feeling great because of my eye, so I did not wear any perfume (that almost never happens)!

Monday: Un Air d’Apogée by .violet.paris. This scent is warm, autumnal, and quietly confident. Soft to***co and leather notes that grow on me with each wear.

What about you? Which fragrance carried you through the past few days?
