The Fragrance Mystery - Tumblr Posts
My hobbies include perfume making and I have THOUGHTS on this excellent sleuthing on Miles's perfume.
Fleur de Peau is peppery on top, with ambrette musk (seed musk instead of animal musk like ambergris or another traditional ingredient) + iris/rose middle notes (think chanel no 5) - so a less sweet floral, dries down to the musk/woodsy base. This is a unisex perfume, strong, and cool.
INTERESTINGLY Diptyque also makes a perfume that Alex wore in the past, Ombre Dans L'eau. Ignore the other makeup in the picture below. Per Alexa Chung: "My ex-boyfriend introduced me to Diptyque fragrances. He used to wear this one and I was always knicking it."
Ombre Dans L'eau is not unisex. It's feminine: fruity like blackcurrants, sparkling with grapefruit, green wood, dries to a sweet woodsy floral. Think crushed roses, green leaves, ripe berries. I've posted about this before, but I wear this perfume.
I wonder if the brand came to Alex from Miles or vice versa. Either way, those are some nice-smelling lads.
Last night I spent searching for this fucking fragrance
And I'm 80% sure found it.
So, we're sure about the brand and the type of fragrance.
This is Eau de parfum by Diptyque. (This is actually important because as I was told, eau de toilette and eau de parfum actually smell different). The perfume water has a special glass. It is made of glass with darkened edges, exactly the same as the one we see in the video.
and now my favorite part, the tables! So, the perfume waters catalog contains 18 fragrances. I made a table describing the external characteristics of the flacons and tried to compare them with what we see. Also we see the label from the back side and by the white spots we can determine what kind of fragrance it is.
So, the contenders from 18 candidates
Tam Dao
Fleur de Peau
Do SonÂ
Philosykos
Eau de Minthé
and now we'll just put the pictures on top of each other until we get a match. and here is it
FLEUR DE PEAU.
the first 5 screenshots, I was sure that Tam Dao was more suitable there, but after few more attempts the only one, which suited at every picture was this.
I don't claim to be right, but it's been a while since anything fun has happened. Let's at least look for some perfume.
