Teatro Olfattivo di Parma: New Niche Line

“She curls up on the couch like a luxuriating cat, lights a cigarette with a vengeance”: this is how I have always envisioned pleasure smoking to be like ~decadent, indulgent, nonchalant. Instead, most people I see smoking do it in a perfunctory way wh…

Cuba by Czech & Speake : Perfume Review

Cuba is the first fragrance of British luxury brand Czech & Speake I’ve had the pleasure of sampling. Smelling the beautiful composition for the first time, I realized that it is not just the company’s fittings that have bespoke appeal: this eau is every bit as artisanal and exclusive in feel. Part of their Aromatics line, Cuba was directly inspired by company owner and designer, Frank Sawkin’s

Leather Series 7: The Garçonne Leathers of the 1920s

by guest writer Denyse Beaulieu “She is a strong woman. Excuse – strength is not the word I am after. Women, pretty women at least, are never ‘strong”. I need a word that expresses energy, the quality that makes a man who speaks of ‘frail Eve…

Leather Series 1: Definition and Classification

The aroma of leather in scent is akin to smelling a forest of silver birches in the cold ringing air for the first time, inhaling the insides of a pallisander humidor full of “Cohiba” accompanied with a good malt in a tumbler. It’s the razor strap …

more ashtrays to empty

As it turns out, the previous post on ashtray-smelling fragrances (that weren’t ashtray-like to me after all) wasn’t enough. I’ve been mucking about in the raw materials recently and I have discovered some real, for true, three day-old wet heaping ashtray elements among them: oakmoss, vetiver, guaiac wood, and tobacco absolute.

Smoking - by Elton Glaser - I like the cool and heft of it, dull metal on the palm, And the click, the hiss, the spark fuming into flame, Boldface of fire, the rage and sway of it, raw blue at the base And a slope of gold, a touch to the packed tobacco…

eau d’ashtray

I do occasionally crave a cigarette, and in those moments, Billy Collins “The Best Cigarette” rolls through my mind as though it were written for me. But the feeling passes. Then I read Edwin Morgan’s “One Cigarette” and it switched on a light for me: the craving of a smell that under any other circumstances would be horrible. The cigarette breath of a longed-for lover, the smoke in the clothes of a family member who has recently passed away. These are aromas that have power over us in ways we cannot control.

eau d’ashtray

The Best Cigarette - by Billy Collins - There are many that I miss having sent my last one out a car window sparking along the road one night, years ago. The heralded one, of course: after sex, the two glowing tips now the lights of a single ship; at t…
