We’ve got so many things to write about (and some great guest blogs lined up too) but we thought a good place to start would be to tell you a little bit about the people who will be looking after this blog!
The Adventures in Scent Team! L-R: Lauren, Nicky and Emily
Bitter orange, clove, bergamot, leather, basilicum, jasmine, mimosa and thym, all the fragrances from my youth in Grasse, my lovely city !
My favorite fragrance ? Hum to be honest I had the bad habit to spray a bit of mademoiselle coco on my hands, just because I love the perfume… The problem ?… I’m a man !
I keep the dryed peel of the mandarin in my pocket, just because I like the smelling on my hands.

I’d have to say some dream ingredients for me in a fragrance would be… Vetiver, Indole, Coumarin, Rosewood and Mimosa… a deeply sensuous blend I believe
I love the gunpowder smell you get early morning after Nov 5 when it’s damp…
I, too, like a whiff of petrol. :- ) I’ve worn so many scents over the years but now stick to Endymion. Just to take the cap off and inhale makes me weak at the knees! I wish it lasted a bit longer on me. :- (
I am an amber-lover. Patchouli, myrh, violet, bergamot, jasmine, turkish rose and styrax.
I love full and rich scents!
Le baiser du dragon is what fits on my skin like a glove (during winter).
Ultraviolet is another love perfume I mostly use (during summer).
But i tend to try and change different perfumes every second day. Sometimes I combine them (Paris & J’adore) making my friends ask me “what are you “wearing” today?”
Where is the facebook like link ?
I like the civet/oakmoss/ambergris from Emily’s choices, for a lovely deep sexy base, but I would do it with rose, for a non-sweet, dark n’ dirty rose chypre.
Yes I think maybe my jasmine/civet/oakmoss/ambergris combo might be a bit much, rose would be lovely! Emily.
Styrax, Iris, Iso E super, saffron, aldehydes, tonka bean, clove, white musk, ylang, ambrox….. enough leather to make Chanel’s Cuir De Russie blush, Knize Ten cough and Tabac Blond quiver in ecstasy.
Sounds divine! I love Chanel’s Cuir de Russie, the best russian leather on the market I think! Emily.
the ultimate russo leather in my opinion too
For a cleaner aldehydic leather I always turn to Etat Libre d’Orange’s Tom of Finland, divine suede clad beat.
So good to see your beautiful faces!
Lauren – What is it about baked bread? I think that’s one of those universal smells that everyone loves. And variations of course… like baking cookies.
Nicky – I so agree on the petrol smell! And i want to try every scent you mentioned.
Emily – bacon…. mmmmm.
I can’t wait to read more on this blog!
