Time For A New Look At Dior?

J'Adore - A major hit for Dior. I don't think any of the flankers come close to the original. If there ever were a brand I'd love to see back on top of the fragrance game, it would be Dior. Recent years have seen a marked decline in quality at the house. By a decline … Continue reading Time For A New Look At Dior? →

Best Perfumes of 2023

My number one perfume from 2023? With 2023 rolling to a close, it's time to put the microscope over this year's perfume landscape with my best-of-list. The sheer number of releases, 1000s each year, makes it impossible to keep up with every new perfume. Therefore, there's a little overlap with some 2022 releases (I only … Continue reading Best Perfumes of 2023 →

Ginger Factory & Ginger Perfumes

I travelled to the Sunshine Coast a few weeks ago and visited the Ginger Factory. It's always an enjoyable experience walking around the manicured gardens and mini rainforest. However, I didn't travel to the tourist attraction just to walk around the gardens. Instead, I'd gone to pick up a Christmas present for a family member. … Continue reading Ginger Factory & Ginger Perfumes →

Jasmine Perfumes For Every Season

The blooming jasmine in my garden gave me the inspiration for this article. As I remarked in my previous post, my jasmine seems to grow during every season. So, I decided to survey my collection and pick out four scents (one for each season) that include jasmine. As a disclaimer, not all these scents showcase … Continue reading Jasmine Perfumes For Every Season →

Jasmine in bloom

Perhaps due to the warming weather, the jasmine in my garden is in bloom once again. I say perhaps because there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when my jasmine flowers. I've noticed periods of growth during all weather conditions in spring and winter and even in the autumn—no complaints from me. … Continue reading Jasmine in bloom →

Jacaranda Season 2023

The jacaranda season in Queensland usually spans a few weeks from late September to November. So, sadly, their spectacular purple haze is at an end in my neck of the woods. Indeed, only a few trees around the place still display their purple blooms. I took a few photos over the six weeks that they … Continue reading Jacaranda Season 2023 →

Daring Perfumes

Over the weekend, I visited New Farm. Originally intending to take photos of the area's abundant jacaranda trees, my attention diverted to the Powerhouse Museum (pictured). During the last few weeks, and ending in October, the Powerhouse hosted the Brisbane Portrait Exhibition. So, before the exhibition's close, I decided to visit. But, before I entered … Continue reading Daring Perfumes →

Spring Shots & Perfume

With the weather warming considerably, I've been out and about enjoying all that nature has to offer. Here are a few photos. Grass Tree. Foxtail Fern. Dragon's Breath. Bunya Pine. Most days this month, I've been wearing the weather-appropriate California Reverie from the higher-end line of Van Cleef & Arpels. It's a spring and summer … Continue reading Spring Shots & Perfume →

The Scent of Brisbane

Brisbane City from Kangaroo Point. September is the time of the year when all the Le Labo City Exclusives become available in every Le Labo boutique worldwide. Consequently, I've made several posts this month discussing the collection. And now, with the month drawing to a close, I decided to pose a question to myself and … Continue reading The Scent of Brisbane →

New Farm Park Rose Garden

Prompted by Nose Prose (https://noseprose.com/) and her fantastic blog post detailing her trip to the rose garden in Portland, I ventured out to Brisbane's New Farm Park and its famed rose garden last weekend. The gardens have been around for over a century, opening in 1914. In its heyday in the 1940s, it was home … Continue reading New Farm Park Rose Garden →
