Antonio Alessandria - Fleurs et Flammes

"Fleurs et Flammes recalls a July festival in Sicily. The summer blooms are at their most powerful and the night sky is lit with fireworks. Fleurs et Flammes begins with a burst of bright bergamot, combined citruses and resinous galbanum twisted with green accords. At the centre is a powerful bouquet of white blooms, incusing lilies and white roses with a little green carnation. Sensual skin-like musk and almond milk underscore this sublime scent."

Top: Bergamot, Citruses, Galbanum,Green Accord, Middle: Carnation, Rose, Lily, White Flowers
Base: Almond Milk, Benzoin, Musk.

Citrus, green, warm spicy, musky, aromatic.

The nose behind this fragrance is Antonio Alessandria, this new fragrance was launched 2015. It has a fragrant woody floral accord beginning with citrus and strong green notes. White musky florals and rose take over to soften the piquancy but the sweet green note prevails. Quite complex and worth experimenting with.

Asklov - A Summer with Jane

"With Asklöv's A Summer with Jane, perfumer Aude Brenier-Asklöv imagines an early morning in a market in the South of France. As the stall holders set up, a glamorous woman weaves in and out of the boxes and baskets of fruit and flowers. Her attire is simple and understated, her allure is immense; a striped t shirt and jeans, a straw basket over her arm."

Top: Bergamot, Peach, Middle: Lavender, Petitgrain, Base: Cedarwood, Vanilla

Described as 'parred down' and 'understated,' this new fragrance is full of citrus and florals, it is true that it is a fragrance that does not overwhelm it's wearer but seems to emphasise the best things about summertime, brushing through flowering hedges and walking through wild flower fields. It is a ideal fragrance for the young or someone that prefers more subtle scents.
