10 perfumes in similar style to Fumidus by Profumum Roma

Green Lunar captures the essence of a little known part of Northern Thailand. Inspired by the locals' belief that the native cannabis absorbs the magic of the moonlight. They believe the best time to harvest this plant is right after the full moon, when the plant is at its most potent. The unique strength and wildness featured in this particular cannabis accord will turn heads. As ever with Strangers, this formula is carefully crafted, the intention is to quieten the mind so the wearer can awaken their senses. With hints of earthy notes and a touch of sweetness Green Lunar captures that same magic of the original source, bringing a scent that speaks to our feral passions.

 

An "eau de witch" with a list of notes that reads more like a forest witch potion than a perfume: mushrooms, goat hair and seaweed alongside herbs, spices and gentle flowers. Haxan is a sensory journey and an aromatic labyrinth, paved and decorated with every possible shade of dark green and grey.

Haxan is an ode to the ancient practices of sorcery, magic, alchemy and witchcraft. It is inspired by Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 cult film on this subject.

The perfume uses over 100 ingredients which are traditionally represented in potions and elixirs associated with these practices. Originally, it was a bespoke blend for a private customer of the perfume house.

Still Life in New York is a perfume built on contrast: cozy and warm notes are set against cool and fresh materials.

The photo for this smellscape was taken by an artist who only shoots cities in the snow. She might be trying to capture that feeling of being snug while it’s snowing heavily outside.

The perfume design is toying with the same idea. Cozy warm notes of saffron, leather, smoky birch tar and vetiver are highlighted by a generous portion of cool clary sage and violet leaf.

The perfume feels like standing by a window in winter to peep at the falling snow and being able to feel both the cold ambiance coming from the glass and the warmth of the house in the background, the fireplace, steaming tea and cashmere blanket.

The Sniff on Flash Back in NY:
"Imagine that you are walking along a city street in the winter. The air is cold, crisp, making your lungs tingle as you breathe it in. You’re wrapped up nice and warm but the end of your nose is cold. Up ahead is a youth in a battered leather jacket smoking a marijuana cigarette and you get a second-hand whiff of it as he exhales a plume of smoke. That’s exactly what this perfume reminded us of."

A clean versatile formula with stunning ingredients mixed for you by Marie Jeanne.

Vetiver Santal is a novel fresh sandalwood (coming from an archipelago at the edge of the world), dry vetiver from Haiti and a spark of benzoin from Siam.

Marie Jeanne is a new perfume house from Grasse, founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.

Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.

In Vetiver Santal you can admire and enjoy aromas of a rare variety of sandalwood from New Caledonia, vetiver from Haiti, patchouli from Indonesia and benzoin from Siam among other exquisite materials.

A full bodied fouger with a green leathery focus. Tomato leaves, clary sage and birch tar inject a full freshness effect while warming notes of vanilla and myrrh meld with woody sandalwood and musk. The orris ensures the leatherey effect. This is a testiment to the enduring power and scope of the fouger formular.

Perfumer: Sfean J.A.

A rich, smoky blend of honey, tar, vanilla and incense.

The perfumer leaves the perfume plot sketchy - to be completed by your imagination. Are you in your autumn apiary watching honey trickle into jars, smoke lingering in the air from bonfires of fallen leaves? Are you on the well-tarred deck of a merchant ship carrying huge barrels of honey? This beautiful, smoky fragrance will definitely take you somewhere.

Important notice:

Anna Zworykina’s blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes). Her blends are sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).

Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in her 100% natural perfumes may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Anna Zworykina’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.). This said, Anna Zworykina has acquired a huge fan base over many years and people interacted with her blends for quite a while now. We are not aware of any reports of any skin reactions so far.

However, Anna advises that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.

Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Anna’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.

An intense, smoky herbal blend that, like all of Anna's creations, will transport you to an imaginary landscape.

It's inspired by Cossacks, the soldier-farmers who live in the steppes in the south of Russia, accomplished horsemen guarding the borders since the days of Catherine the Great.

You are welcome to devise your own story, but here at Bloom, we imagine a young Cossack resting among haystacks and wild herbs, smoking his clay pipe while contemplating the starry sky. His friends are sitting by the open fire nearby. Smoke is wafting through wild thyme and wormwood.

With natural perfumes colour may and WILL vary from batch to batch.
For example, the current batch of Cuir de Russie is not as dark in colour as the previous run because the tea extract in the new batch is decolorized. This does NOT affect the aroma/effect at all.

A classic vintage chypre by design and by make Anna's Cuir de Russie is smoky, animalic and true to the early 20th century recipe.

The story of this smoky leather perfume style starts with Russian Cossacks' cavalry entering Paris to make sure the French army definetly got back home. Parisians were very much impressed by the Siberian warriors, their uniforms trimmed with beaver fur, the smoky leather of their boots (treated with tar for waterproof effect) and had a bit of an olfactive cultural shock.

French being French, they noted the whole expereince in a perfume style called Cuir de Russie. Coco Chanel later brought this style back into the spotlight to reflect on her affair with a Russian grand duke  Dmitri Pavlovich (Tsar Nicholas II’s cousin).

Freedom was inspired by Brenton on Sea in South Africa, where the South African Loerie birds soar freely over the endless coastline of sea and sand. A place of freedom and inspiration for Aqualis founder Steyn Grobler.

Fresh pressed Egyptian bergamot hangs with a comforting scent in the air. A grounding base of oakmoss and sun bleached driftwood glow in your surroundings, intertwining with wisps of Haitian vetiver. Waves of aqueous salt water and mint envelop the nose creating freshness and weightlessness.

This perfume will be back in 2022.

October 1175, Calabria Italy

A joyful refreshing fragrance that pays tribute to the celebration of the annual Calabrian citron harvest, L'Etrog starts with a zesty and tart opening of Calabrese cedrat, Sicilian lemon, myrtle.

Smyrna date fruit and lentisque resin give L'Etrog an elegant sweet heart, warmth envelopes the hesperidic opening.

The evening draws to a close, the sun slowly fading from the sky, cooling vetiver, patchouli and Lebanese cedar create a base of serenity and tranquility.
