As the majority of you, who are following my journey, already know that I have a special bond with the city of Paris. Magic things always happened when I am there.
During the last Paris Fashion Week I was invited to an event from a very renowned showroom for the launch of an exclusive fragrance. During that evening also the other labels of the showroom where also present to show their pieces and, after meeting the CEO of the perfume brand, my curiosity lead me to take a look around.
Art moves the world and as Picasso said, creativity takes courage. Courage to put your soul naked in front of other people, strip yourself of all conventions and bring your being out for what it is.
Art has a huge part in my life, I love being surrounded by artist of every kind and let their creativity flown also in me. I had the chance to visit several atelier and have very deep and beautiful chat with artists.

If there is a quote about scent that I particularly love is from Diane Ackerman and said “ Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.” and I couldn’t agree more.
The effervescence of a Parisian night and its preparation, Oiseaux de Nuit collection is an ode to the woman ready to enjoy her soirée like a night bird. From dusk to dawn, the night and its many facets inspire the Maison Goutal with these intense perfumed tales. The collection is made of three fragrances " Tenue de Soirée", " Nuit et confidences" and "Etoile d'une nuit".Tenue de Soirée was launched in 2016 and the nose is Mathieu Nardin.

The day gives way to the night.Inspired by the feeling you get when you anticipate a party and...

Few days ago I found this beautiful quote while surfing online " All the flowers of tomorrows are in the seeds of today. " , is an Indian proverb and I find it a very good metaphor of life. Everything you plant today you will find it as a blossomed flower in tomorrow.
Nothing is more true than this, with our actions and thoughts ( the seeds ) we can really create a bright future for us ( flowers).
And, omitting for a moment the spiritual side, am I the only one to whom the flowers make happy? I love so much having at my home always a bouquet of fresh flowers, better if all white. It seems that the day begins...

I have always appreciated the quote “Invest in your hair, is the crown that you never take away” because the care for ourselves is the best investment we can make.
Whether it is a necessary “cure” or a rewarding cuddle, the time we give to us comes back amplified. As you know by now, my passion for niche fragrances is constantly growing, as well as for beauty in general, always niche.
Danielle Ryan is the icon of the modern and contemporary woman. A true example of woman empowerment, businesswoman and a successful entrepreneur.
In 2014, Danielle launched in Ireland the brand ROADS, that consists of three companies dedicated to luxury fragrances, book publishing and film production.
ROADS is focused on minimalistic design, storytelling and a free and creative way of thinking and living.
For the launch of the new scents line ASIA, I had the pleasure to have a talk and beautiful interview with Danielle about the line, the brand itself and her.
I give myself to the water and I try to see me from above and to give me the chance to evolve.
I give myself the earthly and otherworldly faith.
Sancti is my protection
Nothing can be more personal and intimate than your scent.
The fragrance describe yourself before you enter a room and can tell a lot about you without speaking.
If you are following me on Instagram , you already know that I am focusing on niche fragrances labels and boutiques and a few weeks ago I had a beautiful experience with Avery Perfume Gallery that is still up in my Instagram highlights.
There is a place in the world I feel to belong to.
A place where I feel completely myself and is like my soul is returning to full life again.
And is Paris.
Every time is a new adventure and discovering new places and things and last time I stayed there, I had a breathless experience with Le Royal Monceau.
Like everyting else in life, the fragrances have to transfer to me their deeper and interior souls.
I have always circumvented the too commercial fragrances, which make people all the same and without an identity. Personally, I never use a single fragrance but I mix it 2 or 3 together, so as to recreate a unique fragrance in contact with my own skin.

During Spring, the redoubtable change of clothes in the wardrobe causes so much pain to lot of people.
Personally for me is always an occasion to make a funny game… The Take & Toss. Did you remember the scene from Sex and City? It was when Carrie call at home Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in order to help her to put all her clothes in boxes before move. Obviously Carry didn’t wanna to take everything with her and here comes her three friends and they make fun together deciding what to keep ( TAKE ) and what to throw away ( TOSS ).
