The blue line, it seems, is completely immersed in the world of luxury and hedonism. But, honestly, listing the fragrances here makes no sense. One could, of course, mention them for information, but it's no more than a formality. Clive Christian, as always, emphasizes the unfolding of notes and the richness of the fragrance. The metamorphoses are simply astonishing! It's like watching a rosebud slowly unfurl, only not as beautiful. Chasing the Dragon is, without a doubt, a floral bouquet, but not as chic as it's described. It's built on wormwood with some powdery iris notes. Jasmine, yes, dense, but with green narcissus notes and ylang-ylang, which resembles lily. Woody and creamy nuances add something, but not in a way that makes it special. In the base - vanilla, but it's not too sweet, just ordinary. The longevity, of course, is on par - the fragrance is audible all day, there's also a sillage, but that doesn't make it a masterpiece. Concentration - perfume, volume 75 ml. And, by the way, it won't be available in Russia

To get acquainted with this fragrance, you'll have to go to England! It's an exclusive for Harrods in London. Or did I miss something? Please share where I can try this perfume)))

Misia is not the lightest fragrance. In the dressing room of an old theater prima donna, there's a vase with overripe fruits on the table, and their sweet scent fills the space. This fragrance, blending with powdery notes, creates an atmosphere reminiscent of decadent times. For me, Misia is a fruity-powdery scent with a light violet nuance. It's beautiful, but too sweet and intense. I sense a similar fruity palette in Guerlain's Guet Apens. Therefore, I prefer to wear both fragrances in cooler weather. Their longevity is good - two sprays last about eight hours on me

The fragrance I tried is really interesting - rose and clove create a decent harmony. There's a light powderiness and sweetness, but the frankincense, which they clearly overdid, ruins the whole impression. It fills the space so much that it's impossible to enjoy the other notes, and my head starts to ache. But if we talk about other aspects: the quality of ingredients, their combination, and the overall aesthetic - everything is top-notch here. The sillage is simply captivating. This is truly a unique work. The price, of course, is high, but in my opinion, it's justified. Unfortunately, such perfumes are becoming rarer and rarer nowadays

The fragrance is truly impressive. It's bright and has a good sillage, attracting attention. Floral and musky notes with a light apple accent that isn't too sweet. The fragrant apricot surprises with its subtlety, even if unripe, it's already soft. The scent's rendition is natural and luxurious. Bright floral compositions without powdery undertones will surely appeal to enthusiasts. Fruit notes add sophistication and a touch of sharpness. Honestly, I didn't expect such beauty from a young and not-so-well-known House. I'll be eagerly following their new releases

Honestly, the name of the fragrance and its scent aren't connected, and I never understood why it was named that way))) But I really do like the fragrance itself. I only tried it after a friend bought it at my request. At that time, the euro had risen sharply, and I managed to get the Swan at a great price))) The main thing I like about this scent is its simplicity, which perfectly combines with elegance. It smells incredibly positive and magnetic. Lightness, freshness, and brightness! It's like cold jasmine tea with notes of sandalwood and citrus freshness. Longevity on the skin is about 4 hours. The sillage is subtle, woody-powdery with a light citrus accent. I'm sure this fragrance will be great for any season 🌼

To be frank, this fragrance resembles suede, but one that's barely tanned. The jasmine syrup here is thick, but without indole, and with a pronounced bitter greenness. The musk is fluffy, and the creamy nuance seems to be with sandalwood; they encourage each other, but not in a joyful sense. There's no sweetness at all. Nudiflorum evokes a feeling of something warm and bland, as if embracing something cozy. The powdery base, in my opinion, is the same as in China White Nasomatto. There's a slight hint of food, something like fresh pastries, but without any spices. The longevity is simply beastly! One spray in the morning, and I can still smell it. It feels like too much. The sillage is delicate and powdery. If we draw parallels, Nudiflorum is somewhat similar to White Suede by Tom Ford and, of course, China White Nasomatto. Impressions from a bottle that clearly hasn't settled. Perhaps I'll have to adjust something later 😒
