En los comentarios de una de las reseñas sobre Areej Le Doré, recuerdo que un usuario preguntó: «¿Por qué escribir sobre Unobtainium, que ya no se puede comprar, porque está agotado desde hace tiempo?». El propietario y perfumista de la marca, Russian Adam, escuchó la opinión y decidió anunciar por adelantado su nueva colección Arabian Heritage. ¿Cómo surgió esta colección con el orgulloso nombre de Arabian Heritage?

When I write and prepare articles for the vintage fragrances column, one of the most enjoyable and exciting things to do is to find and select illustrations. The most common illustrations for articles are fragrances' advertising posters clipped from magazines; they convey the spirit of the time. It is noticeable by the clothes and age of the models, their hair and makeup; it can be understood by the surrounding interior, rich and full of luxury or especially absent.

Perhaps this review should have been written by my colleagues Elena or Beth, who, by their own admission, adore date smells and tastes, and the very idea of dates (one, two, three). I myself have been hesitant to touch my Camel sample just because of the dates; why I associated the picture of the camel only with dried fruits and dates is unclear. But today, I decided to smell it, and found Camel to be a pleasant, dynamically fresh spicy aroma, far enough from the gourmand theme.

In 2015, the Arabic brand Emirates Pride Perfumes released three fragrances united by the capital letter M: Meydan, Mystery and Mersal. No, not a Masculine Collection, the fragrances have no official gender reference - although in my opinion, they are masculine enough. Leather, wood and spices on a fresh background - usually worn by men. But what is special - all the fragrances are set not on traditional oriental standards, but on giving the familiar oriental notes a new and fresh face.

After a recent review of Chypre-Mousse by Oriza L. Legrand, I got my hands on a fragrance that is diametrically opposite to it, although it is formally part of the same family: green fougères. It craves everyone's attention; it wants to please and appeal to the tastes of everyone around, and it is modern and persistent for the sake of maximum rave reviews. All this is about the new men's fragrance Oscar by Zimaya, recently released in the summer of 2024.

In addition to Forbidden Paradise, about which we wrote earlier in the vintage section, the biblical story of Adam and Eve gave us the expression Fille d'Eve, referring to women in general, as heirs of the first woman Eve. But, in the past, it also meant women who unwittingly bring misery to those around them because of their curiosity. A euphemism to replace the word "woman". Jean Patchett for Nina Ricci Parfums.

Angela Ciampagna's Virtus collection was first presented at Milan's ESXENCE 2023 exhibition as the most expensive collection of the Italian artisanal brand. Expensive both in the literal sense - the price of bottles was up to 600 euros, and in the symbolic sense - the collection, called Virtus (Virtue), was dedicated to the mother of Angela Ciampagna, the perfumer of the brand. And to all the mothers of the world, probably.

Todo empezó con un foro de perfumes llamado Adjiumi.it, que reunía a cientos de amantes de los perfumes italianos en un mismo lugar. Ahora ya no existe en su antigua dirección, pues se ha trasladado a un grupo privado de Facebook. En 2020, el fundador del foro, Cristian Cavagna, junto con el perfumista Arturetto Landi, crearon la primera fragancia para el grupo, Dolce QB, para conmemorar los 15 años del grupo. Le siguieron Elevato Al Cubo, Incubo y Vaniglia 18.
