South Korean brand Pesade, dedicated to the perfect harmony of strength and balance, presented its fragrances in Europe for the first time in 2025. Fragrantica already wrote about its first 2022 collection (here)—today, I want to share with you my impressions of its third collection, from 2024, called The Lovers. Again, we discover very clean, harmonious, and balanced compositions, all three of them.

by Sergey Borisov ( 1 comments ) Each of us has our own history of how we discover the world around us. Based on it, we find similarities and differences between different phenomena, including fragrances. Thus, for some people orange blossoms are a luxurious women's perfume, for others - it`s a smell of home garden or a street nearby, for others - the smell of childhood and evening time before going to bed.

The story of putting perfumers' names on the fragrances' packaging, started in 2000 by Frédéric Malle, is continuing not only in France and Italy (see Essential  and ) but all over the world. As soon as a perfumer becomes famous, his work sells out. Quentin Bish made Fleur Narcotique and Ganymede famous, and subsequently, he was invited by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Parfums de Marly, Amouage, and Pierre Balmain, but it didn't end there.

We already wrote about the presentation of the new Attar Collection in Dubai in January 2025—four fragrances that differed from everything the brand had released before in their complex glass bottles, stoppers, and perfume concentration. All the new products are in Extrait de Parfum format. My first experience with the collection impressed me very much—Second Skin turned out to be pure spring floral freshness—and I decided to continue my acquaintance with it.

Today's "Hi! Remember me?" column celebrates the month of May, with nature already in full bloom, offering fragrant flowers everywhere. Of course, the blooms depend on the country our readers live in —sakuras or lilacs, peach and cherry trees, or maybe mostly wildflowers. I certainly hope the dandelions are in bloom where you live! And of course, the rose—the Grasse rose is not called May rose for nothing. With a bit of effort, we could dedicate the entire May edition of our column to the May rose.
