I got it from her website :-
- http://aprilaromatics.com/store/index.php/eau-de-parfum.html

Shipping was 6 Euro so after the 20% discount, it was around 119 Euro total. It comes in 30ml EdP only. It also includes 2 x 2.5ml sample of your choice for free.

There was a discussion about this house on basenotes and brief description of each scent by Brian_Towers at 3rd May 2014, 03:59 AM.
- http://www.basenotes.net/threads/379410-April-Aromatics

Based on the notes, I only prefer Calling All Angels and Bohemian Spice. Bohemian Spice is the most complex of the bunch and Calling All Angels was a winner in the Artisan category at the 2013 Art and Olfaction Awards.

SOTD - Purple Reign by April Aromatics
Wearing this sample for the second time today. I get iris, violet and lavender. It's not the usual lavender we found in Jicky or Caron Pour Un Homme but in Reverie au Jardin by Tauer Perfumes. Take the iris from Iris Silver Mist by Serge Lutens and lavender from Reverie au Jardin by Tauer Perfumes and add in violet. That's basically what I get. It's a simple, natural and soothing scent. Despite its below average projection, it's quite persistent on my skin.

Undeniable a quality creation from this house.Opening on tonic scents of pink berries and bergamot, the assertive notes of cypress and patchouly are lightened by the softness of leather and musk. Smells smart gentleman touch in a soft side with a fresh green from cypress. Luving it!

SOTD : M.MICALLEF ROYAL VINTAGE

Was busy at work whole day today. My sample of the day was Bohemian Spice by April Aromatics. Right off the bat, I get a blast of kitchen spice tinted with sweet orange, which at this stage reminds me a bit of Calling All Angels from the same house and then almost immediately incense, sandalwood and patchouli start to join in. All in all, it reminds me of Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens minus the cacao note. Projection and longevity are average on my skin after the loud opening.

My SOTD was Absolu by Rochas. Can't get enough of this awesome tolu goodness, which smells kinda similar to Tolu by Ormonde Jayne.

Cool stuff guys !!

I'm having L'occitane Eau des Baux for today. Loving this during cooler days or nights. Pity indeed it's missing from L'occitane outlet in Kch and not restocked at Bestbuy World online store.

SOTD - Michael for Men
Pure Malt by Thierry Mugler with spices and tobacco added. It opens up with in your face spices and sweet fruity accord with a touch of tobacco. It then quickly mellows into very nice light fruity tobacco scent with the spices toned down a bit. Moderate projection and good longevity on my skin. It's one of the scents I plan on letting go.

Nice thanks, I'll check it out over the weekend.

There's a niche perfume store at the hotel where I stay, there are many houses I don't even recognize. Like Eight and Bob, Carner Barcelona, and PRO FVMVM ROMA. blink.gif

Haven't heard of EIGHT & BOB. Have only tried Tardes by Carner Barcelona - Almond, tonka bean and musk, which is one of their popular ones along with Cuirs and D600. Ambra Aurea by Profumum Roma is one of the better amber scents they say. You might be interested to try their Olibanum, which is frankincense.

BTW, Strawberrynet is having 10% off :-
