Therapeutic Fragrance Awards 2020 

Thanks Peter. Yes a ton of stuff on a white background is shot here.

@@TherapeuticFragrance Hey, Miss your perfume videos. When you doing more?

Thanks Johmathan. Yes SG is getting it's due share.

LOL, working through those permits are worth it. I'm amazed at how connected you are. Thanks brother, glad I got to share my hometown with you a bit:)

Yes Christophe what a year.

Thanks so much Karen, was fun doing this from my hometown.

Nice Anthony some great pickups to tell stories about. Rising Mysore was really difficult to get. That is the most asked for I receive messages about. On to 2021

Easy to get a sample of it. Cheers

Hope you get too Ben. If ever in Portland let me know.

I talked about this with others in the comments of Musk Lave. So what's your definition of Chypre? This meets all of it. Just because of lavender the perfume categorized as fougere which is technically correct, but this wears like a Chypre to me. Just so you get it and caused 8 other people to go down your path. Citrus, Labdanum, and Oakmoss are the real definition of a Chypre. This has all three. Not my fault the perfumer marketed this as a fougere.

@@TherapeuticFragrance fair enough you might feel it wears like a chipre for you however lavender citrus and Oak moss are staples of a fougere as well and because of those things I do except it as one My definition of a chipre on the other hand is one there is citrus on top florals and spices in the middle and resinous woods in the base I think this perfume is a little different to that Falls more into the fougere category However that’s the great thing about fragrances you can interpret them anywhere you want based on your own experiences so fair enough to you if you take it the other way as a chipre

Great points. I have mentioned in comments before that if could go either way. The ultimate barbershop vibe really isn't there for me. No complaints I obviously think its stunning and a lot of perfumes that call themselves Chypre have no business being one. Historically it was defined by the original and should have those three ingredients. I just don't get the barbershop vibe on this that usually comes from an aroma chemical. Although Rising Mysore doesn't have it either it comes off like an indian barbershop to me built off the classic Mysore soap. Just observations. I really think no one is right or wrong calling this a fougere or Chypre. IMO it wears more like a Chypre and it does hold the classic ingredients of one.

Did you buy Santal Galore? Actually get to play with the box? And see how the sandalwood cap was? I don't actually store with the box it get's to go next to other ALD's with same shape and size. Which is why I like that bottle style so well. Unfortunately wood caps were complained about to much so we won't likely ever see them again in the main line. They way they hold the smell of the perfume is perfect. Anyways as always appreciate the thoughts. In talking with him and other perfumers what most people want in a sandalwood fragrance is just sandalwood. It's loses itself with almost any other material unless you start layering in the synthetic. (Talking to Le Labo Santal 33). This is the type of thinking that get's most of us into creating our own things. Sounds like your about ready to start buying material my friend. That's the next level in this game. Cheers to 2021 and seeing what you do.

I know that went fast LOL. Thanks for the comment. Trying to hurry on Shalini if you like dirty Jasmine this is it. Have not smelled anything better, must make sure you get it before reformulated as Jasmine was a key ingredient knocked by Ifra last year.

Thanks Ikram hopefully will be seeing you on here:)

@@TherapeuticFragrance That was my thought when I was watching 😉 Competition is tight but confidence high. A few months to go for launch. Securing bottles next month.

Nice, one heck of a journey for you. Can't wait.

@@TherapeuticFragrance Much appreciated :) A three year journey.

Thanks Gara.

Nice one Joshua. Need to figure something out for that🤣🤣

Thanks friend, peace to you!

The desert was nice to me. Yes sample the Pomare's stuff not for everyone but really great natural work. Coffee Oud Extreme is exactly as the name.:)

There will be something else:)

LOL I still have about ten samples I'm sitting on to review. Need to get back to pure oil. All the extra perfume releases took me by surprise.

Thanks for the correction. Not sure if I even heard Russian Adam say it that way, LOL.

@@TherapeuticFragrance ok I think he made up his name though, but 'le doré' means "Golden Areej" in french

Great three. Yes I need to mention Triad I haven't not many have noticed. It's a great fragrance. Here's to 2021 and three more gems:)

LOL yes the desert is not that good for these.
