I Think I’m Back

from Ina @ Aromascope

How does one return to blogging after an absence of several months? How does one return to perfume blogging without being utterly and totally sucked in (some might laugh at this but it is indeed a thing to fear)? How does one blog about perfume from a different hemisphere, of all things? Such questions have […]

What a pleasant surprise

from Jenny @ Perfume making

As many of you may know, I love the music of Jimi Hendrix. His music is like magic to me. When I hear his music it makes me feel high, spiritual, sensual, emotional, sad, happy… it gives me all kinds of emotions. It’s like the music loves me and I lo…

Home Sweet Home

from Ina @ Aromascope

The time has come to tell you, my dear readers, about the biggest news - in February, my husband and I are moving back to my home country, Latvia! Needless to say, we’re both very excited (although the said husband has never lived abroad, let alone a post-Soviet-borderline-European country, but he’s being a good sport). […]

Top Fall Scents

from Ina @ Aromascope

I miss blogging. Actually, to be more precise, I miss the times when blogging about perfume was one of the highlights of my day. As you might have noticed (ironically as it might sound considering I’m surrounded by it pretty much daily), perfume has hardly been my top priority. From a proactive, involved enthusiast I’ve […]

Slump

from Ina @ Aromascope

So I’ve taken a relaxing vacation, and my August ennui should technically be over but I’m still in a state of olfactory slump. I’m not talking about writer’s block. I’m referring to the worst possible fear of any perfume fanatic - loss of interest. I’m not quite there, don’t worry. I still smell perfumes with […]

Whee!

from Ina @ Aromascope

The time has finally come for me to go on my much needed and anticipated vacation to the northern woods of Minnesota! I plan to do a whole lot of nothing and occasional lake activities. There will be no internet access (bliss in some ways!), so I won’t be able to check in but please […]

Tagged!

from Ina @ Aromascope

I don’t know if you have days like this but for the past week or so I’ve hated all my perfumes. As in, “get away from me I don’t want to see you right now”. I know it’ll pass, it always does. On top of everything the two fragrances I’ve been super curious to try […]

August Ennui (Of Sorts)

from Ina @ Aromascope

In case you’ve noticed my partial absence lately, I’m here to tell you that I’m doing fine and smelling nice. I will, however, be rather absent now and then during this month. I want to pretend I’m in France and close shop for the entire month of August and go on some beach vacation but, […]

Short Break

from Ina @ Aromascope

Miss Aromascope is taking a break for a few days. Life has just gotten a bit too busy (and a bit too much at times), so a little recuperation is in order. I’ll be back next week!

Quotes On Classics

from Ina @ Aromascope

While reading my Perfume Legends book, I came across a few quotes that I consider gems or little odes to some of the classic perfumes. Today I’d like to share a few with you.
Jean-Paul Guerlain on perception of fragrance in relation to Chamade: “Perfume is made mainly so that one remembers the woman who wears […]

Summer Top 10

However, today the list is a joint project between other perfume bloggers - our top 10 fragrances this summer. The fragrances below aren’t necessarily best for summer weather - they’re simply my most loved […]

Back From New York

from Ina @ Aromascope

I’m back from New York after having a blast sniffing with Miss Colombina and am already spotting first withdrawal symptoms. My olfactory solace is to have samples of the new Serge Lutens fragrances (that were waiting for me at home, thanks to a very kind fellow perfume lover from Europe). My first impressions (for those […]

31 Years Young

from Ina @ Aromascope

That’s how I choose to look at it - yes, I’m 31 today. Sigh. But it’s just a number, right? Besides, numbers can mean anything. For instance, 31 perfumes. That’s a lot! So here’s a list of my favorite 31 perfumes (in no particular order, although, a Guerlain girl at heart, I’ll list those first):

Metallica/Matalys […]

Viva La Diva!

from Ina @ Aromascope

Today Marina from Perfume-Smellin’ Things and myself are presenting to you yet another joint project: the diva perfumes. I won’t go into much detail as to what that implies (Marina has already done an excellent job!) except for saying a diva perfume to me is potent, compelling, demanding, and somewhat rebellious. I’ve come up with […]

New And Not So New Discoveries

from Ina @ Aromascope

Today is my only day off this week, and I’m quietly contemplating on my recent perfume discoveries or, rather, rediscoveries. Fickleness when it comes to perfume is an absolutely normal state of mind (and nose) - I fall in and out of love all the time. So it’s always quite thrilling to develop new obsessions […]

New Face of Lancome Tresor

from Ina @ Aromascope

I just can’t get enough of Kate Winslet in these new Lancome Tresor ads! I just wish I loved the scent as much, although I’m now moved to revisit it, especially the original, pre-reformulated version.

Easter Perfume Bottles?

from Jenny @ Perfume making

It’s almost Easter and this inspired me to find some beautiful perfume bottles in an egg shape. At your right you see a ‘lady’s companion’ - a perfume-bottle holder - made by German master silversmith Henry Steiner (1835-1914), who came to Adelaide in …

Work in progress

from Jenny @ Perfume making

Your chair?

from Jenny @ Perfume making

This image does me remind me of something a girl once told me. When she was a child she had an odd thing, when someone she didn’t know visited her parents and sat on a chair, she always sniffed that same chair after the visitor was gone. Hmm would be s…
