    Idilios by Rubini Profumi

    Cristiano Canali, 2025.

    The newly launched Idilio is very different from the rest of the line.

    Andrea follows the path of slow perfumery at its best – his perfumes are rounded, polished compositions deriving from the condensed idea.

    I tested Idilios when the fluid was just produced and three hours old, but it smelled very promising. Look at the picture: blue sky, silky clouds, and pink inner glow. That’s Idilio — quietness, inner peace, and satisfaction.

    Symmetry by Sarah Baker Perfumes

    Chris Maurice, 2020.

    What particularly delighted me is that the oud is lifted to the top of the composition and intertwines with the sparkling citruses almost immediately upon the opening. Symmetry feels smooth, but illuminated, and provides long-lasting, airy depth.

    Musc Moschus by Rania J.

    Rania Jouaneh, 2019.

    Musc Moschus is a skin scent smelling like a sensual dance of two alike, but essentially different musks. The dance is slow but on a verge of funk.
