November

“It was November, the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines…”
– Lucy Maud Montgomery, “Anne of Green Gables,” 1908.

Illustration by Eugène Samuel Grasset (1845–1917)

Vulcan Baie by French Avenue: Review

This month in writing:
🤍🩵💚

One of my latest articles on Fragrantica is the review of Vulcan Baie by French Avenue.

“Before this first encounter, I never tested any French Avenue fragrances. I had no expectations, either positive or negative. I chose Vulcan Baie first of all because of the serpent on the fragrance box. I have a fondness for snakes.

I am not keen on overly decorated perfume bottles in general; I am more on the simple side of things. I am primarily interested in the liquid, although I do find the box featuring the serpent quite appealing. Indeed, we see what we’d like to see. I thought initially that the box was like putting on a show. I was wrong; the fragrance is a show in itself, both calming and joyful. I should mention that the photos of the fragrance bottle were taken by me and have not been altered with filters or other enhancements..”

What Are Fragrantica Writers Wearing This Autumn? Iulia and Markéta

💥Facebook reminded me of this article about autumnal fragrances:

“What Are Fragrantica Writers Wearing This Autumn? Iulia and Markéta
In a series of articles by our Fragrantica writers and editors, we explore the fragrances we are wearing as the chilly season takes over.”

Iulia: “I do not like Autumn. It is a permanent reminder that the shimmering, sun-filled days are over, and I have to embrace the gloomy and darker season, when grim twilights start at 5 PM. I feel like I should find shelter, like mushrooms, in the shade and darkness of wet soil. The most beautiful day of the year for me is the last Sunday in March when we adjust our clocks to the daylight saving time of the summer season, the first long day of the year. I usually bask in the timid light of that magnificent day, which symbolizes for me the beginning of summer. I associate the longer days of spring and summer with freedom. Freedom to enjoy the outdoors, the parks, forests, and every trip is a magical adventure full of possibilities. This encapsulates my love for the warm season.

Autumn is a different way of looking at things, a much simpler way. But I do enjoy the pleasurable mellow light ignited by colder nights and eerie mists that carry the whispers of the earth. When the sky looks like this, I know that autumn is upon us.”

Why Letting AI Write For You Can Be Risky — Insights You Need

💥Interesting topic in our last issue of “Articles Of The Week Newsletter”

💥Letting AI Write for You Can Be Dangerous

💥Relying solely on AI to write your content may seem like a time-saver—but it can come at a cost. Skipping the essential process of drafting and critical thinking leads to vague, ineffective, and impersonal content that fails to engage your audience. AI tools lack the nuanced understanding of your brand voice and specific audience, risking authenticity, trust, and your content’s true impact.

💥Use AI as a smart assistant, not a replacement. Strong writing skills and human oversight are essential to guide AI and ensure quality, creativity, and relevance in your messaging. Protect your brand reputation and connect authentically—don’t let AI write unchecked.

✅This article highlights the risks of relying on AI for writing, emphasizing that bypassing the human drafting, thinking, and learning process can lead to ineffective, vague, and tonally weak content. It warns about losing essential critical thinking and writing skills, as AI-generated content often lacks relevance and finesse tailored to the audience. The article advises that AI should only be a tool, not a substitute for human creativity and careful editing, and underlines the need for strong writing skills to instruct AI properly. Key concerns also include the erosion of authenticity, potential misinformation, and challenges in maintaining brand voice and legal risks. It stresses a balanced approach to using AI with human oversight to maintain content quality and trust.

Leathery Enigmas: Is It Leather, Or.. ?

💥Facebook reminded me of my article on Fragrantica focused on leathery enigmas, which are fragrances that don’t feel like leather, but rather like irresistible fragrant concoctions.

💥What leathery fragrances are your favorites?

💥Leather fragrances for me are the same as vanilla ones, about which I have written in my article “Vanilla Fragrances: Curioser and Curioser” about those by Aromatic Scent Lab, which impressed me greatly.

💥They are an acquired taste. But I never refuse a challenge. Consequently, I will immerse myself in two intriguing leathers that have highlighted my summer: Thekrayat Emirates Pride Perfumes and Secret Leather Aromatic Scents Lab. They create two distinct mental environments for me.

✨Photos by me.
