Parfums Dusita Melodie De L'Amour

Parfums Dusita Melodie De L'Amour

Nose: Pissara Umavijani

notes: tuberose, gardenia, honey; jasmine, broom, lily-of-the-valley, peach; cedar, musk

Melodie de L'Amour is, quite simply, my favorite tuberose, and tuberose is my favorite flower in perfume.

You can't talk about tuberose without talking about Fracas, Germaine Cellier's spirited high-femme 1948 creation. Fracas is the Reference Tuberose, and Pissara Umavijani is deeply inspired by Cellier.

But Fracas is actually a very odd scent. It's a brilliant Barbie-pink, sitting on a layer of buttery yellow, and finally resting on a gravy-brown base. The vivacious charm at length gives way to tedious drama, unless you really like richness.

Melodie de L'Amour is, like Fracas, a Big Damn Tuberose, but totally different in spirit. Its tuberose is white, not pink -- a gauzy, swoony, romantic, nectar-dripping aura, slightly honeyed but not the least bit cloying.

Dusita has been reformulating its perfumes -- I remember Melodie de L'Amour as much richer a few years ago -- but I still find it beautiful. There may have been a real sandalwood base in the past; now the only hint of depth is a slightly musky haziness that might be the broom.

This would make a good bridal fragrance. Gloriously romantic, and free of anything edgy or unlikable.

I've a quartet of reviews from a couple niche houses, Jorum Studio and Eris Parfums.

Eris Parfums

Eris was launched in 2016 by vintage perfume lover Barbara Herman who decided to work exclusively with Antoine Lie, whose has done a fair bit of work for Etat Libre d'Orange and Puredistance.

Ma Bete is a lovely vintage throwback, a dramatic, aldehydic floral with a growling animalic base. The opening is very reminiscent of Bogue's MAAI, all sparkling neroli up top with the suggestion of something primal below although instead of MAAI's diva rose, you have a more sultry jasmine. Like MAAI, it's not for the faint of heart but it's certainly not as filthy as some reviews make it out to be.

Belle de Jour immediately felt like a softer version of Secretions Magnifiques except the "blood" and "saliva" of Secretions here is described as "seaweed". All of these are fantasy notes of course. What you get with Belle is a soft floral with a salival/salty edge and a hit of spice. Linden flowers are not in the notes pyramid but the white florals paired with an aquatic accord does bring you there. It's not very approachable, a little strange and mysterious but not in a cliched, dark romantic way.

Jorum Studio

Jorum was founded in Scotland in 2019 led by Scottish perfumer Euan McCall.

Phloem's note pyramid might sound like it's a mediocre fruity floral reaching to be something better. In fact, I wouldn't place it in that category at all. It is a very unusual and creative floral composition that walks up to the edge of wearable. There's hints of green, of earth and dirt from the sesame mixed up with light flowers and the tang of berries. There's no cumin in the pyramid but there is a subtle cumin vibe going on. It's weird and the notes sound like they shouldn't work together but they really begin to meld together in the dry down.

Nectary is a sweet rose paired with berries and tart peaches. It's dense but not unpleasantly so. It's not as unusual as Phloem but it's still quite unique. A dark hit of oud and animalic notes begins to emerge in the dry down. If Dusita's now discontinued Oudh Infini was way too much for you, but you were kind of into it, give Nectary a try.

[rosenbraut]

It really took me three days in total to settle on a selection. What I ended up ordering:

bdk — pas ce soir (quince, white flowers. The promise of a sparklingly Parisian bouquet. I know it’s basically passé now, but after being too pretentious to try a scent this hyped, I had to admit to myself that I really love tubéreuse impériale, so I figured I might as well try another bdk. It sounds so interesting. I’m trying to downplay how excited I am for this one)

Dusita — Anamcra (orange blossom & other white flowers, tea, blood orange, peach. I’m so intrigued by this house and never dared to try one of their scents. It sounded so delicate and graceful, I’m so looking forward to it. I would’ve tried the other classics (la douceur de Siam, Melodie de l’amour) but they weren’t available)

Elisire— Jasmin Paradis (white flowers with a focus on jasmine, bergamot, musk. I was curious about it and a comment on parfumo.de saying “Grace Kelly on holiday veiled in jasmine” settled it for me. Also the comments highlighting how it’s a green, non-animalic jasmine. I’m really curious!!!)

L’Orchestre Parfum — Bouquet Encore (sichuan pepper, tuberose, jasmine, vanilla, musk. another white floral, this time one described as sugary sweet by German reviewers, which I thought might be fun. But tbh what had sold me from the start is the song. I love this house’s concept of linking fragrances to music and considering it’s a tuberose/jasmine scent with an ‘old fashioned’ title on top, the song surprised and intrigued me. Also it fucks. I’d love to smell like that)

Ulrich Lang — 17 Nandan Road (Green and citrus notes, Osmanthus. German reviewers link this one to a safe and mild office scent, but the international reviews were talking very favourable about how transparent and osmanthus-forward it is. I struggled a lot with picking this last one and finally settled on this because I wanted to try something green)

Le Pavillon D’Or (eau de parfum) Dusita

Floral

Le Pavillon d'Or is inspired by a very human quest for happiness and inner peace, it evokes the sheer joy of serene self-confidence and peace of mind.

Top notes: Menthe citrata, Honeysuckle Heart notes: Boronia, Frankincense, White thyme Base notes: Oak, Sandalwood

Parfums Dusita La Rhapsodie Noire

Dusita La Rhapsodie Noire

Nose: Pissara Umavijani

notes: lavender, sage, broom, mimosa, jasmine; coffee, tobacco, rum; tonka, vanilla, oak, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, oakmoss

La Rhapsodie Noire opens dark brown, sweet, and overtly manly; I get a slug of coffee and a lot of caramelization. Like most of the recent Dusitas, it’s quite sheer.

a few minutes in, I get a definite sage & lavender effect, like a scrubby chaparral landscape, very traditionally masculine and dry, with that macho caramelized woody-amber underneath.

By half an hour in, the herbs are gone and it’s just dark, sweet, slightly chocolatey, slightly boozy woody-amber.

In other words, this is a crossover between two common perfume genres; the lavender-based fougere (which has been a staple since the turn of the 20th century) and the masculine sweet-dark Oriental based around woody-ambers, which dates back to…maybe the 90’s?

At any rate, there’s a certain Eau de Bro aspect to La Rhapsodie Noire that I’m not fond of.

Parfums Dusita used to make marvels of classic perfumery, full of rare and precious ingredients like real Mysore sandalwood, and now…they’ve pivoted to slightly-better-than-average mainstream scents, but kept the jacked-up prices. One of those everyday tragedies.

DUSITA PARFUMS • LA DOUCEUR DE SIAM • Eau de Parfum • Stare divinamente nella propria pelle quando la piena affinità con la fragranza indossata è raggiunta. Non avviene sempre, non è scontato che accada, ma quando succede è una fusione tanto potente da liberare sensazioni imprevedibili, un scossa di emozioni e ricordi. Come i tasselli di un domino che cadendo creano l'armonia del movimento il profumo viaggia sulla pelle, nei sensi, si insinua, si trasforma, respira con te. Ti invita a scoprire, ad immaginare, a canalizzare le energie, a perderti in una fantasia, provoca la mente e ascolta il cuore. Nel respiro un universo nuovo si appalesa. Nell'eden di Dusita la dolcezza prende forma nella soave eleganza della fragranza La Douceur de Siam. La composizione fa sobbalzare il cuore in un sussulto di stupore, rapito da un incipit sfarzoso di fiori, il prezioso elisir regala la sensazione di immergersi in un rigoglioso giardino dove l'armonia odorosa è palpabile e il segreto della bellezza è sussurrato ai sensi attraverso corolle soavi, deliziosamente benefiche nella loro luminosa freschezza. Questi fiori si offrono nel loro assoluto candore, avvolti da un alone soffuso e fatato, immersi nelle sognanti spire del crepuscolo, nelle sfumature seducenti di un cielo che attende l'esplosione lucente delle stelle. Un rito sublime che concede al profumo l'estasi dell'attesa, la addobba coi riflessi dorati ambrati perlacei di un tramonto colmo di promesse, prima che la notte si trasformi in un regno di intima appagante serenità. La Rosa di Maggio si impone nell'apertura del racconto, la sua sfumatura poudré dolcemente speziata raccoglie la nota verde pungente del garofano, si illumina nella morbida vellutata sintonia di frangipani e magnolia ed esalta in pienezza gli accenti aromatici dell'attraente mix ylang-ylang e foglie di violetta. Gli accordi di scaldano infine nel cuore, celestiale e balsamico risplende il connubio tra cannella e Thai Chalood Bark, sofisticato blend aromatico di legni e vaniglia, il cui impiego nell'arte profumiera risale alle tradizioni dell'antico Siam. Nulla si disperde nelle volute finali, l'estensione olfattiva di vaniglia e Sandalo di Mysore affonda nei penetranti accenti dell'ambra esercitando il rito remoto di una seduzione lenta e infinita, complice il sussurro carnale dell'ambra grigia. Il richiamo ad uno stato di grazia. La Douceur de Siam è disponibile nel formato Eau de Parfum 50 ml. In profumerie selezionate e sul sito parfumsdusita.com ••• The twilight hour comes:even my grief is swept away by the anonymity of life.” Montri Umavijani Plunging in the heavenly shades of the most sweetness suggestion. Laying back looking at the armonious changing of the sky in the chimes of twilight. Surrender to the beauty of its pearly amber shades whispering an endless dream. A seductive heart throbbing scent blending flowers, love, spices, love, woods, love, amber, love, vanilla, love. A spellbound aromatic marquetry. Do I feel in a state of grace? I do do do! For mesmerizing nights only.  ©thebeautycove

New Perfumes For September 2021... And An 80s Classic

Does 'all natural' matter to you? -- My review of the new Chloe 'naturelle' edp, and Dusita Anamcara, Perfumer H Rain Moss, Vacation By Vacation, Guerlain Derby -- #perfume

Those of you who’ve been following my YouTube exploits for a while will be aware that when Love At First Scent started, it consisted of hour-long episodes with reviews of several scents. The other day, I revisited that format and presented my thoughts on four new (and new-ish) releases, as well as an underrated Guerlain from the 1980s. You can watch the video above or at this link: Chloe Eau De…

Unusual rose perfumes for Valentine’s Day

Every time Valentine’s Day rolls around it’s roses roses roses in perfumery. There’s nothing wrong with the dozen-long-stem-roses fragrances like Jo Malone’s Red Roses or Diptyque’s LE releases. But for those with more adventurous tastes, I’ve compiled some rose perfumes that are a little less pretty and a little more goth.

Eau de Protection (Rossy de Palma) by Etat Libre d’Orange is not an attractive rose. In fact, its spicy-sour opening is overbearing to the point of being ugly. Dries down to a dark, syrupy rose mingling with earthy patchouli. I love how it unfurls in its own time, daring you to approach. Retails for €90/50ml and  €135/100ml.

La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens is a rich and sombre rose. Its rose is lifted with spicy black pepper and a hint of candied violets and filled out with the warmth of animalistic musk. It’s not at all difficult to wear and carries the musk discretely. Retails for €120/50ml and €180/100ml.

Thirty Three by Ex Idolo is not your typical rose-oud which introduces a high-pitched "Damascus steel” note set against velvety rose petals and the dark depth of oud. The opening has a jarring, clanging quality, but it is worth waiting it out for the dry down which maintains a little of its initial metallic edge like a threat. Retails for £90/30ml and £120/50ml.

Oudh Infini by Dusita is my favourite rose-oud, but it is not an easy wear. The oud here is creamy, pungent, and animalistic. It goes beyond barnyard straight to the zoo. This note is brilliantly offset by an equally powerful Rose de Mai. Walks a razor thin line between beauty and disgust straight through to the dry down. Exhilarating! Retails for €395/50ml.

Finally, to close on an unexpected note, Mohur by Neela Vermeire is neither pretty nor goth, but a beautiful rose scent with the barest dusting of spice and a soft base that I can only describe as the milk of human kindness. Retails for  €205/60 ml.

di Andrej Babicky

Nascosto da sguardi indiscreti, al numero 11 di rue de la Sourdière vi è un piccolo santuario, una sosta obbligata per gli amanti dei profumi. Quando si entra nella boutique Parfums Dusita, si viene pervasi da una sensazione di tranquillità e pace. La musica sullo sfondo è una delicata colonna sonora. La luce inonda lo spazio avvolgendolo nel suo morbido abbraccio, invitando a sostare e ad ammirare i flaconi ripieni di liquidi colorati che brillano quasi fossero dei gioielli. Ciò che colpisce maggiormente è la quasi totale assenza di odori forti, che di solito ritroviamo all’entrata di molte profumerie. Come ci viene spiegato in seguito, questo “vuoto” olfattivo è voluto, in modo tale che il visitatore della boutique possa apprezzare appieno ogni fragranza annusandola, prima vaporizzata sul tessuto all’interno degli imbuti di vetro ed in un secondo momento sulla pelle.

Pissara Umavijani, fondatrice del brand, non è un nome che ha bisogno di grandi presentazioni. Lei stessa, con la sua delicata bellezza orientale, ci fa da Cicerone nel suo regno che a me ricorda una via di mezzo tra il salotto di una casa ed una galleria d’arte. Poter sentire le fragranze accompagnate dalle sue parole di lei che legge le poesie del padre, spiegandoci l’ispirazione dietro ognuna di esse, è un’esperienza unica, la quale mi fa capire che quelle di Pissara non sono solo bellissime fragranze, ma dei dipinti olfattivi (ed anche fisici in quanto Pissara accompagna ogni sua fragranza da un suo dipinto) intrisi di poesia e di ricordi.
