Niche perfumes (check out some more brands here) are such complex fragrances and I’m very happy to be able to discover some of the new releases for the warm season.
Goldfield & Banks | Velvet Splendour (€145,00/100ml)
This is the first perfume Goldfield & Banks owner-creative director Dimitri Weber has collaborated on with Mr. Kos.
Velvet Splendour is meant to celebrate spring in Australia when the mimosa blooms.
This unisex perfume has a longevity of 8h+ with the following notes: mandarin, medione, australian acacia absolute, orange blossom absolute, jasmine sambac, australian sandalwood, patchouli, hatian vetiver,leather accord, tonka bean, opoponax, heliotropine.
Velvet Splendour is definitely too floral for me, however if you like your perfume to be oriental with a touch of vintage-chic, then it’s definitely something you should try.
Juliette has a gun | Vanilla Vibes (€110,00/100ml)
This is my absolute favourite niche perfume for the summer, it suits my senses so perfectly that I’m really addicted, I’m even wearing it at home.
It’s the kind of fragrance that lifts my spirits and puts me in an awesome mood whenever I smell it.
The bottle reminds me of the colour of the sea and sun and the fragrance itself smells salty like the ocean breeze with a touch of vanilla.
Vanilla Vibes has the perfect balance of sweetness which makes it perfect for day and evening wear.
It’s a unisex perfume with a longevity of six to eight hours.
Top note: salt; middle notes: vanilla absolute, orchid; base notes: sandalwood, tonka bean, musk, benzoin. (source: Fragrantica)
Parfums De Marly | Cassili (€210,00/75ml)
The perfumers Calice Becker and Nanako Ogi have created a fruity floral fragrance with a combination of berries and rose.
This feminine and elegant perfume is perfect for the warm and cold season, day and evening.
The precious bottle looks like a work of art and is sleek enough to be carried in the travel bag.
Longevity: 12-14h.
Top notes: red currant, bulgarian rose, floral notes; middle notes: plum, mimosa, frangipani, petalia; base notes: sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla. (source: Fragrantica)
If you live in Bruxelles, I recommend for you to visit Beauty by Kroonen where you can find all these perfumes and even more in the niche beauty department.
You can also buy the products online here.
I really think I’d love the vanilla vibes scent. It sounds relaxing and I just love perfume scents that calm me down.
Ooo I love these bottles! I will have to try these out. I need a new perfume to try.
These perfumes sound lovely. I love the colors of the bottles.
I love perfumes and I have a big collection at home, but I didn’t hear about any of these brands before. I will have to check them out, see which one I’d like best.
Ohhhh this reminds me it’s time to get a new scent! What fun choices, I’m especially loving the bottle of the Juliette haha! Pretty!!
I need to find a new perfume as my old favorite just isn’t exciting me anymore. Velvet Splendour sounds like such a delicious scent!
I cannot wait for technology to allow you to smell things online. It would be a great opportunity to smell those perfumes. I don’t like anything with musk but the other two seem interesting.
Sounds like a nice scent. I am very picky with my perfume. I do like the smell of vanilla.
I love all these products. Have you ever used a ‘Lady Million?’
not yet 🙂
I just told my sister I need to get a new scent. I’ve been wearing the same one for years and am now ready for a change.
I’m curious to know what you’ve been wearing for so many years! 🙂
Oh my goodness! These perfumes sound lovely. The colors of the bottles are amazing too.
I’m a huge fan of Juliette Has a Gun. I’ve received several samples in subscription boxes and I just adore the scent. I really need to buy a full-size bottle.
I’m definitely in the market for a new perfume! I’ll have to check some of these out!
