Over the previous 12 months, I’ve fallen onerous for Maison d’Etto’s fragrances. It began with Verdades, which I purchased after seeing it featured on just a few of my favourite substacks. I featured it on this perfume roundup, and whereas I prefer it quite a bit, it’s extra of a winter perfume for me—large and comfortable! It has white floral and orange blossom notes, which, in concept, sound very mild! However it’s a bit heavier and hotter, because of wealthy vanilla bean and patchouli.
Extra not too long ago, I’ve been reaching for Durban Jane. I’d describe this perfume as exactly what to purchase when you beloved Le Labo Santal 33 in 2015, however stopped carrying it when everybody in New York caught on and it’s all you might odor strolling down the road. The scents are very related however this feels extra distinctive and particular. It has a brighter end and feels lighter (good for summer season).
Durban Jane is for me, addictive! I’ll put it on and be unable to cease smelling my wrist. It’s woodsy however not heavy in any respect: that uncommon sandalwood perfume that also feels proper in heat climate. The scent additionally feels very comforting to me. Whereas I described Verdades as a cashmere hug, this might be a linen hug?Sandalwood, orris, and ambrette are the important thing notes, however there’s additionally a freshness to it. I can not get sufficient of the scent. I combine issues up every day, however attain for this not less than just a few instances every week. In addition they made a beautiful (however costly) candle of the identical perfume. Sadly, I completed the candle simply earlier than I left for my journey. I’m holding off on shopping for one other as I’ve (many, many!) different candles to burn, however this can be a favourite. It could make an additional particular hostess reward.
