Fleur De Lalita, Anamcara, La Douceur De Siam
Amber Floral, Floral Woody Musk, Amber Floral
Pissara Umavijani

FLEUR DE LALITA: Sunshine Rays and Exotic Flora

Fleur de Lalita is a stunning bouquet of yellow and white florals. There is also rose added to the mixture. The flowers are grounded with ambrette and vanilla; however, I would not say Fleur De Lalita is a sweet fragrance. As all Dusita perfumes, Fleur de Lalita is elegant, light and airy … easy to wear to any occasion you can think of. The concoction is waxy and creamy yet not heavy at all. It is a great scent to pack to your suitcase when you go on holidays because the yellow florals involved have a touch of exotica. It is an aroma to wear on your skin, clothes all over your body. To smell it from the atomizer does not do it a justice. It is somewhat in the same category as Rose Alexandrie by Armani Prive; nevertheless, Rose Alexadrie is sweeter and younger while Fleur De Lalita is attracting more mature audiences. I wore Fleur De Lalita on my summer vacay in Sousse, Tunisia. I happily reached often for this beautiful bunch of flowers when I was eating out, or just hang out and about near the beach. Pissara knows how to make floral perfumes. As simple as that.

ANAMCARA: Steaming Green Tea with Freshly Cut Oranges

When I first laid my nose on Anamcara I was underwhelmed. I though, okay, yellow florals. Then I looked at the notes I saw it is an orange blossom fragrance. Then, it hit me. Yes, orange blossom but in an mesmerizingly pure realistic form. I have many orange blossom-centric perfumes but Anamcara is different. It is not this bright heady smell but rather powdery and earthy. There is tea and vetiver added. Imagine green tea with hints of sweet oranges – ANAMCARA. Unexpectedly, Anamcara was the one Dusita fragrance that I used the most in Sousse, Tunisia. It went literally from zero to hero. Anamcara means your best friend. The one you turn to when life gets real and serious. It does feel like it. Anamcara brings a familiar comfort, happiness and clear mind. Again, a huge surprise, I did not expect to love it so much. The longer the juice sits, the stronger and sweeter it becomes. Anamcara is not the most popular in the fragrance community. It needs more attention.

LA DOUCEUR DE SIAM: Midnight in Thai Orchards and Herb Backyards

Ok, La Douceur De Siam, we could translate it as a dose of Thailand if you wish. The first thing you notice is that it is a sweet, seductive aroma but still in a subtle way. From the atomizer, it was my favorite; nonetheless, soon I realized, it is not a fragrance I would wear during the day. It is a nighttime, date-type of scent and that is why I tended to prioritize Anamcara or Fleur De Lalita on my holidays in Sousse. It smelled sweet, tropical, slightly spicy but to my surprise I found out, it is in fact a rose perfume. It is a gorgeous, addictive scent. To my nostrils, it tends to lean on the younger part of the geographic. It is much much more refined La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme. Or a unique, classier version of Babylonia by Ormonde Jayne. The main difference is and also its strongest selling point, the exotic touch of Asian spices and gardens. If you wear sweet fragrances like a pro, La Douceur De Siam is an interesting gem to add to your collection. I cannot decide which one of the coffret is my fave. I am simply loving them all because they are wonderful in their own ways and each of them serves a different purpose.

Tutti Twilly d’Hermès: Sultry Lychee with Style

Tutti Twilly d’Hermès by Hermès
Floral Fruity
Christine Nagel

Tutti is the newest release by Hermès within the Twilly line. It jumped on the train with the super popular fruity note of lychee. And yes, there is litchi; however, the white floral is still present. You can tell it is Hermès and you can also showcase it is Twilly. In other words, the quality is there and so are the flowers with ginger.

It is a floral fruity but elevated. Long story short, there is an edge and depth to otherwise an easy perfume profile. I think it is great. It has a playful element. If I compare all the five Twilly’s, Tutti is the most reminiscent to Eau Poivrée.

To give you a different perspective, I would wear Tutti for the same occasion as I would put on Blue Heart by Thameen. The scents have a different structure but give me the same vibe. They are both friendly, sweet yet sophisticated. I would use them to hang out with girlfriends or for a casual date. They are approachable enough to be worn during the day; nevertheless, not easy going to the extend I would wear them to run errands, for instance.

At this moment, I have Twilly Eau Ginger in my perfume collection and I am okay with my Twilley’s acquisitions for now. When I am done with Eau Ginger, I will consider adding Tutti to the mix. Have a great day!

Parisienne Yves Saint Laurent

Mmmm, I smell fruits – berries in particular quite strongly, flowers and powder. It’s certainly sexy and romantic at the same time. There is something strange to it; something I’ve never smelled before. What is it? I looked at the notes on the internet and found that vinyl is there, right at the top. Interesting! It certainly makes the perfume unique enough to be someone’s signature. Personally, I cannot decide whether I like it or not but I do value the fact that it’s distinctive.

A sexy, romantic and timeless fragrance; but most importantly, unique. Are you up for something different? Give Parisienne a go. There won’t be any regrets for sure. 60/100

@all: Are you a Parisienne lover or hater?

Silhouette Christian Siriano

When I first applied this fragrance on my skin, I smelled a lot of sugar, immediately after a heavy surge of wood and musk. It’s something between a girly overly sweet scent and heavy strong nighttime perfume. Overall, this combo doesn’t work for me. I can’t help feeling something synthetic inside. On a positive side, the longevity is really great. I could smell it the next day.

Silhouette gets triple S: sweet, sexy and strong. 10/100

@all: Do you know Christian Siriano? Or is it a completely new designer to you?

All the perfumes I owned

In the past, I owned the perfumes as follows, and I am going to review them here on alexaperfumes, respectively:

Naomi Campbell Naomi Campbell, Fuel For Life Femme Diesel, Ode au Reve Yves Rocher, So Elixir Yves Rocher, Comme une Evidence Yves Rocher, Aquarelle Vegetales Eau Fruitee pour I’ete Yves Rocher, Peche Jaune Yves Rocher, J’adore Christian Dior, Pleasures Jasmine Violet Estée Lauder, Delicious Night DKNY, Very Sexy Victoria’s Secret, Pink Sweet & Flirty Victoria’s Secret, Tresor in Love Lancome, Pretty Elizabeth Arden Pretty, Very Irresistible Givenchy, Ange Ou Demon Le Secret Givenchy, Meow Katy Perry, Amarige Givenchy.

Some of them I liked less some of them more. Most of them were given to me. I had full bottles and apart from Organza Givenchy, used them all up. There is a story behind each of them. I am neither going to judge the brand on its own nor the marketing of EDP or EDT. Neither the packaging nor the bottle. Purely the scent.

My name is alexa I am not an alcoholic; I am a fragrance freak instead

How did it all start? In fact, I became a perfume lover only a few months ago. Before that, I didn’t pay attention to which perfume I was wearing at all. I was simply gifted bottles (of perfume of course).

Later, I realized that it is not a way to go. I ended up wearing fragrances that I didn’t really like. When things got worse, I used them as bathroom fresheners, the sooner they finish the better. Luckily somehow, it hit me! “I must stop with this nonsense and treat myself with more caution.” I am a big girl now and it is just about time to develop my own “perfume taste”; to establish what I like and what I don’t like; and discover a scent that fits right in with my personality and lifestyle. And guess what! I found out that there is much more to a perfume than I could ever imagine. Let the search for my signature scent begin …
