APOTHEKE
CHARCOAL

Score: 93%

Notes: Musk & Balsam

From Diptyque: A tender, sensuous and infinitely captivating fragrance. The Musk has the voluptuousness of an embrace and the softness of skin that has left its scented signature on a piece of fabric. Once of animal origin, today its nuances are recreated by perfumers.

In our words: It smells like what you imagine sex might smell like in heaven.

02

L’OR DE SERAPHINE JOIE

Score: 93.3%

Notes: white fir and pine

From L’or De Seraphine : With the first snow, everything seems to come to life, and excitement fills the air. Trees dance in the wind as the snow sparkles, and the world seems full of mystery and enchantment. Infused with essential oils, and featuring notes of crisp white fir and pine needle, No. 08 is an energizing fragrance full of warmth and comfort.

In our words: Smells like a Christmas tree. Looks like a Bentley.

BOHÉME
ISTANBUL

Score: 90%

Notes: cardamom, ginger, bergamot, Turkish rose, iris, cedarwood, amber, saffron

In their words: At the intersection of Europe and Asia, ancient meets modern in a city of unbridled energy and spirit. The Bohéme Woman returns here to touch the beating heart of humanity, to explore an unknowable labyrinth of alleyways, to feel jubilantly alive and present. She stands at the center of the Grand Bazaar and inhales the intoxicating aroma of green, sweet cardamom from the spice merchants, the fragrant aromas of ripening fruit, the lushly romantic depth of Turkish rose. A rich, true note of exquisite saffron threads slows the world around her, creating an unforgettable memory. This mystical city weaves itself into the tapestry of her life and leaves an imprint on her soul.

In our words: It smells like luxury, but make it spicy. If you like Diptyque’s Ambre, then Istanbul will feel familiar, albeit more floral and complex.

D.S. & DURGA PORTABLE FIREPLACE

Score: 90%

Notes: Pine, smoke, ash, cedar, birch, tar, resin

In their words: Nothing is cozier than a fireplace. The hearth brings us back to that ancient desire for warmth. The smell of a fireplace alone makes us think of the country, the holidays, the joys of cooler weather. Family gatherings, reading, romance, old world – associations are plentiful. In the speed of the modern world, especially in the city, it is rarer to have a working fireplace – or to take the time to light a fire.

In our words: It might smell more like a fireplace than an actual fireplace.
