Weekly Roundup: Summer in Stores, Uber Modern & Timeless Scents

by: Elena Knezhevich

This week has been quite intense and diverse in perfume events and launches. While luxury perfume houses keep dressing us for the summer, smaller brands already think about the next season. In this overview, I'll try to walk you through everything good we had the previous week, but still it will only be just a part of what we have done. There have been over 200 hundred updates of our perfume encyclopedia, and I thank our wonderful team for their excellent work.

First, let's take a look at our luxury department and send our smiles and waves to Sanja and Sandrina for the news. Valentino Uomo (2014) dressed so elegantly, has gotten a younger brother Valentino Uomo Intense in black. Christian Dior La Colle Noire is for the ladies' attention.

Anna Sui introduces the fourth flanker, Lucky Wish, of her Secret Wish collection, which looks the most magical in my opinion.
 

Summer flankers from big brands: exotic lands in new Incanto and the beautiful Meditterenean in Eau de Rochas.

FRAGRANTICA COLUMNISTS:

This is usually my favorite part, and this week we have done a lot of interesting reviews and interviews, as well as collaborative work. I hope our choices of the most memorable perfumes from Esxence will help you in your personal navigation in stores.

MUST TRY From Esxence: Writers' Choices – many of our staff who visited Esxence have chosen his/her favorites, or better say, the most memorable creations from the show.

Just this morning Marlen published this wonderful work by Sergey, Valery and Mat. They combined their experiences of the new Renegades perfumes together.

Another great insight from Bella and Lucia, I heartily join their opinion about two new fragrances from the remarkable perfume house of Gabriella Chieffo, since I really liked new Maisìa not only because of the idea, but also for its beauty.

 

Now, please review what we published during the previous week. Articles are diverse: we still have been analyzing our experiences in Milan, but there have been also so many remarkable things happening, like Sniffapalooza in NYC, new perfume launches and new niche house introductions.
