Sandra‘s Closet

Fragrance is such an integral part of a beauty routine, it is often a reflection of our personalities and essentially an extension of ourselves. When choosing a signature scent, everyone wants to have one that is uniquely their own. Therefore I love these artistic and one-of-a-kind scent offerings below that you might never have heard of before but should totally get your noses on. They will leave a memorable trail that’ll linger in the air for you and others to enjoy. Whether it’s a soft and feminine rose or a deep or a seductive vanilla, find your ultimate signature scent that is uniquely you with these niche luxury fragrances. Here are five that I adore:

Moresque
OROLUNA

An ethereal, mystical and unisex fragrance inspired by the one essential, yet elusive element of life: air. Oriental, feminine, yet masculine with an incense accord.

As you know, I adore niche fragrances and I am always curious to find new brands. Today, I would like to introduce you to a new German fragrance house LENGLING PARFUMS Munich. Based in Munich, the brand was launched by Ursula and Christian Lengling, who are partners in both business and in life. Ursula, a businesswoman and mother of three, dreams up the bouquets and is the creative heart note of the company for style and aesthetics. Her husband Christian was born in Japan and has been familiar with the world of luxury perfume from a young age, which makes the experienced businessman the head note of the Munich perfume manufacturer.

The feeling of perfection always comes from finding the ideal balance. This is true for love and in life, and should also be true for the perfume we wear. That’s the philosophy behind LENGLING’s creations, the so-called«Extraits de Sentiments». Each one of the fragrances is characterized by the two contrasting notes of LENG and LING. I was very curious to smell the seven creations which are all very interesting, different and sophisticated. Three of them have truly captured me that I would like to introduce to you below:

EL PASAJERO N°1
A scent as resplendent as the glittering stars on a clear summer night in the Andalusian mountains. Silky magnolia softens the intensity, giving this stunningly elegant scented jewel its soft, feminine side.

LING-Note

LING-Note

Jasmin Sambac, Violet, Muguet, Peach

SEKUSHI N°7
Sophisticated, seductively sweet fruits play a secretive game with dark leather… creating a fanciful and provocatively erotic fragrance.
