Our Event + More of Your Perfume Prescriptions!
Well… we thought last year’s live event couldn’t be topped, but this year’s was even more epic! So, this week’s show is for those who were there & want to relive the magic, or those who couldn’t make it and are wondering what happened. We’ll be talking about some of the olfactory occurrences, with snippets recorded during the evening, taking you through the epic goody bag, and answering a couple more questions attendees had sent in…
HUGE thanks to @tomsavanococktails for providing their *incredible* olfactively-infused cocktails for guests to enjoy!

Questions we didn’t have time to answer on the evening:
Anne Stevens:Hello Suzy and Nicola! I am very excited about coming to see you on Friday. Maybe this time I will be brave enough to say hello. I was too shy last year!
I would like to ask for a perfume prescription for my husband. He has a modest but well curated selection of fragances. This used to include Embers by Rouge Bunny Rouge. He loved it so much he finished this bottle and now it's discontinued.
Can you please help him find something similar?For context he also love Architect's Club, Sycomore and Montabaco.
Thank you for your help with this. I have an eBay alert for this perfume in the hope that someone might be selling it but no luck as yet! Also, if you can help, I have a ready made Christmas present idea!! Thank you! Anne xx
Embers was:Cloves, Pink Pepper and Nutmeg; middle notes are Incense, Labdanum, Jasmine and Freesia; base notes are Woodsy Notes, Peru Balsam and Styrax
ANSWER:
Heeley Cardinal “Incense enrobed in folds of white linenA timeless scent built around the traditional incense notes of labdanum, ciste, frankincense and myhr. An air of lightness and purity is portrayed by a note of fresh, clean linen. The association of grey amber, patchouli and vetiver, imparts this perfume with mysticism and a rare and contemporary elegance. An immaculate young priest.
Auburn hair and milky white skin. Romantic and mystical.White Linen . Baie Rose . Black Pepper

Vetiver . Grey Amber . Patchouli”
(Samples available at Les Senteurs)
Armani Prive Encens SatinAmber, woods, spices & incense
Histoire de Parfums Encens Roi (£39 for 15ml) Top notes: Olibanum CO2, Roman Chamomile, Schinus Molle
Heart notes: Saffron, Pimento Berry CO2*, Atlas Cedarwood
Base notes: White Cacao, Oud, Cistus, VanillaInterlaced billows of sweet and cold smokes; a path of pleasure and a path of enlightenment; the resin of gods and of princes: Encens Roi collects the tales of a Humanity that has never ceased to hope.
Anne also adds:I will be cheeky and ask for a couple of other prescriptions for myself! I love the smell of basmati rice when it's cooking! Can you recommend any rice themed perfumes?? I know about Chant de Camargue but have never tried it and it's too expensive to risk a blind buy. I do have Poudre de Riz by Pierre Guillaume and I love it but I think it's more on the side of powder than rice.
Any other suggestions?
I also love black tea notes. So any tea suggestions also welcome but I'm probably getting greedy now!
ANSWER:Borntostandout Dirty RiceOlivier Cresp. Top notes are Bergamot and Almond; middle notes are Rice Basmati, Milk and Peony; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar, Cetalox and Vetiver.(Samples available from Bloom)
DSH Parfums BIWA: Dedicated to and conceived by the late Robert Herrmann; a dear friend in fragrance, a ‘heart’ of the West Coast and online fragrance communities, and an inspired writer for online magazine CaFleureBon.com. Dawn says: “The opening of aldehydes, with the merest touch of mint and green cypress give the fragrance a shining, ‘pearly’- opalescence along with a natural, ‘lake side setting’ that continues throughout the design. For the heart, I created a rice powder and a steamed jasmine rice accord; each given a creamier feel with a light hand of vanilla. The drydown is a soft bed of hinoki, cedarwood, and pine. The entire fragrance for me has the feeling of ascension: of flying ever skyward toward the celestial realm through clouds, pastel colored by the setting twilight sun.”
All of the profits from the sale of Biwa will be donated to Robert’s husband, Ron. Biwa is a gift of love to the memory of our dear friend and a loving tribute to his ‘perfumed’ imagination.
