The Magic of the Perfume Bottle

1 Reply

💥 Facebook reminded me of this article on Fragrantica written in 2024.

A perfume is made of the Trinity: the juice, the story, the bottle. As our reviews are focused on the first two, what about the bottle? I have written that, for me, simple bottles are an incentive to try the juice inside. What about the very interesting, different, overly adorned bottles or the flacons that are part of the story, sometimes even the starting point of a fragrant fantasy?

People who buy perfume nowadays are more thoughtful than they were in the past. When making a buying choice, there are more things to think about. With the rise of sudden TikTok hits and a greater focus on ingredient openness, the fragrance market has been going through a lot of changes lately. These changes point to a perfume buyer who is approaching goods, relationships, and purchases in a new and different way. According to some research, packaging has an impact on 72% of consumers’ purchasing decisions.

START ENGLISH Legal English Terminology Checker: Habeas corpus

Leave a reply

🔷 START ENGLISH Legal English Terminology Checker

🔷 What is habeas corpus?

➡️ Latin for “you have the body,” it is a writ (court order) which directs the law enforcement officials (prison administrators, police or sheriff) who have custody of a prisoner to appear in court with the prisoner to help the judge determine whether the prisoner is lawfully in prison or jail. The writ is obtained by petition to a judge in the county or district where the prisoner is incarcerated, and the judge sets a hearing on whether there is a legal basis for holding the prisoner. Habeas corpus is a protection against illegal confinement, such as holding a person without charges, when due process obviously has been denied, bail is excessive, parole has been granted, an accused has been improperly surrendered by the bail bondsman or probation has been summarily terminated without cause. Historically called “the great writ,” the renowned scholar of the Common Law, William Blackstone, called it the “most celebrated writ in English law.” It may also be used as a means to contest child custody and deportation proceedings in court. The writ of habeas corpus can be employed procedurally in federal district courts to challenge the constitutionality of a state court conviction.

From ancient rituals to forbidden passions, the story of Tubereuse Kanapii comes to life in a hypnotic blend of sensuality and mystery. Cannabis evokes the power of occult attraction, while Tuberose, with its voluptuous aroma, adds a touch of pure seduction. Inspired by the rituals of women who gathered magical plants to enchant the hearts of their beloved, this fragrance is a celebration of desire, refinement and connection with forbidden nature. (a note from the brand)

2025 In Writing: My Escape Fragrance

One of my articles on Fragrantica discussed My Escape Fragrance:

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

The inspiration for this article came from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and her escape book. My escape book was a book of stories and fairytales from Asia. I do not have it anymore. I suspect that it was borrowed, or someone took it from our library. That book made me travel more than once. I felt like living in those pages covered with words and amazing Asian-inspired drawings. I suspect that is why I love the art of Kawase Hasui.
………………………………………

I have chosen Fragaria Creed because it embodies the harshness of my childhood springs, followed by a rushed summer. The air was often too heavy to breathe, and a sadness lingered in the harsh sunlight over the last patches of snow. I didn’t concern myself with these feelings back then, as I was eagerly awaiting the first fragrant blooms. Since then, every spring, I choose a tree to observe its transformation from barren brown twigs into a white-pinkish cloud.”

The World

“…and I looked upon the world with all the innocence and wonder of a newborn babe. And now, if I am sad, or filled with sudden rage, I find some quiet place with grass and leaves and earth, and sit there silently and hope that they will come and call me, with their silvery voices, and make me clean again, those little angels of the trees and flowers.”
– Jane Goodall

My house

‘My house here is painted outside in the yellow of fresh butter, with garish green shutters, and it’s in the full sun on the square […]. And the intense blue sky above. Inside, I can live and breathe, and think and paint,’ Van Gogh wrote to his sister Willemien in 1888.

Fragrances For Blue Monday

Leave a reply

Facebook reminded me of this article written for Fragrantica in 2024.

I have embarked on this delightful endeavor of Monday perfumes, not necessarily because I perceive Mondays as difficult, as I am passionate about all my job(s). Rather, I need a jet engine sometimes to spin more ideas and solutions for the issues that everybody asks me about from early morning on the first business day of the week.

However, today happens to be the infamous Blue Monday, which means we might all benefit from a delightful dose of joy and positive energy.

Blue Monday is the name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month) said by a UK travel company, Sky Travel, to be the most depressing day of the year. The concept was first published in a 2005 press release from the company, which claimed to have calculated the date using an “equation.” It takes into account weather conditions and thus only applies to the Northern Hemisphere.

The fragrances presented below are, indeed, the fragrances that have illuminated my Mondays over a period of time.

Some of the fragrances that I selected for the Blue Monday of 2024 are: Moonlight in Chiangmai Parfums Dusita, Chanel No 5 Eau de Parfum Chanel, Idôle Lancôme, Symphonium Xerjoff, Roses on Ice By Kilian.. .

Into the Woods

“Fairy tales give it to us straight. They tell us something profound and essential – that the woods are real, and dark, and full of wolves. That we will, at times, find ourselves hopelessly lost in them. But these tales also tell us that we are all that we need, that we have all we need – guts, smarts, and maybe a pocketful of breadcrumbs – to find our way home.”
– Jennifer Donnelly
