There are fragrances that live in a world that cross from simple scents to experiences in bottles, pulling on our desire to remember rather than banking on a wish to smell great, Encore Une Fois translates to "yet again", does it manage to pull on your memories? Let's Deep Dive. Encore opens up with a beautiful salty citrus, very oceany but less "beachy", aquatic without being blue, a tad pull of green comes from the violet and the leafy orange but make no mistake, this is about the salty tones and in that process opens up for a tad smoky, for a stronger orange vibe with a bit of sour bergamot, the petitgrain gives character with it's unique bitterness.

Le Joker, by French outfit Art De Parfum, won the gold medal at the London Beauty Awards, 2020. I can see why. A saline, fresh nutmeg aromatic, with facets of star anise, Timur pepper, ambergris and elemi, this is one of those perfumes I would put in in the same category as Eau D’Italie: scents that are magnetizing in their chalky sea air simplicity, yet that wisely eschew the dirty über-niche plugholes of algae and seaweed.

It can be challenging to choose a fragrance for someone else, because scent is so personal but with an array of luxurious scents from our niche fragrance...
Here is another green and genderless scent which is also in my article on The Original Copy, Signature Wild by Art de Parfum. "There is such a development after applying this on the skin, it's definitely the most special perfume I have in my collection. First it's more on the spicy, fresh and woody side and then slowly you can smell a creamy and sweeter note, a very aromatic and complex scent. The delicate mixture of ambergris, Peruvian balsam, cinnamon, leather and dried fruits initially has a spicy and woody texture and then develops a soft and subtle creaminess on the warm skin- which isn't there in the beginning, I'm so fascinated by this..." Beside this everything else is also...
We are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted in the Pure Beauty Awards for the much-coveted nomination for Best New Niche Fragrance with our avant-garde and characterful new scent Le Joker. The Pure Beauty Awards celebrates the best new beauty launches to emerge in the UK market over a 12 month period and the winners will be announced in October 2020.
