Dear Diary Perfumes

Perfume house from Paris born in 2015.




Yeah, Paris is full of wonders and undiscovered stories. That's why I will always return to the city and exploring new things will stay as the eternal charm of the city. The city spoiled me when  was living in it because I had opportunity to be a part of it. Unexpected encounter happened month ago, when I discovered Dear Diary Paris perfume line. Completely new perfume line that tells personal stories. 

We are all aware that perfume triggers strong emotions and memories. It could be said that Dear Diary is an hommage to that momentum in human body. Dear Diary is a perfume line created with specific, personal memories in someone's mind. Therefore, each perfume is a storyteller and interpreter of some moment.

"Patience in listening, communicating, to target expectations and interpret them. Perseverance to come up with the closest translation of the described dream and vision. Everything came from Amber: Cosy, oriental, sensual and mysterious. I then told seven stories, seven fragrances, just like as many romances with the same intro, but how different and various are the developments! Seven perfumes, seven pages of a Diary that tells the story of a life, its adventures, discoveries, diversity." - said perfumer of the line, Sylvie Jourdet.



Deep deep in the Baltic

Deep deep in the Baltic is a fresh, aromatic, herbal scent with spicy, amber finishing. It is a story of fishing and deep diving in Baltic sea. The creator felt the urge to dive into an adventure in one of the coldest waters in the globe - the Baltic Sea. But also, he was told many legends about it, about different creatures and UFO's inside. It was the curiosity that gave him drive to do it.

The structure of the perfume is duopol. It starts off aromatic, herbal and fresh. I can perfectly imagine the scent of Scandinavian green nature, fresh, zesty air and aromas coming from a green field near the forest. In one moment, there happens a twist and perfume turns into soft, woody scent. It has an impeccable and unmistakable note of sandalwood and benzoin followed with amber. Finishing is completely warm and soft on the skin.


Desert Nights to Remember

"Today I went to the desert of Arabian again after seven hours of cruising in a never ending path of sand and stone. I think this desert is a part of the world that was created for tranquility. It is a word of contradictions that get along together at the end of the day! Yes, it does not even make sense to me too. Heat in the day with cold breeze at night, dry grounds with moist plants, fire and water, a clear sun and a shiny moon! What else can I say Diary? I am writing now while looking at flames of fire, under a full moon that lights the place and an aroma of saffron that I smell from the moment I arrive until I leave, coming from these colorful flames. I will bookmark this page and revisit it next winter when I go back to the desert; I am sure there will be hundreds of words to add."

It is my favorite from the line. Although having oriental allure, it is very French composition. It is the one that reminds me of great perfume classics. Rose, jasmine, amber, floral bouquet decorated with saffron, spices, guaiac and patchouli. I believe it can't get more "frenchier" than this! It's like when you go to Hotel Ritz to a soirée with a hat, fur coat, high heels and leather gloves. Deep and opulent scent that can intoxicate your evening. With the aesthetics belongs to grand luxe category.


Two senses combined in one

Two senses combined in one is inspired with a trip to Bali when the creator had the opportunity to smell and taste the natural aroma at once. It is the experience of exploring the world of raw materials.

Therefore, the goal was to make a perfume that has gourmand background. It is composed of dried fruits, chocolate, vanilla, sweet fruits, but above all, on amber. Amber is the key ingredient for Dear Diary perfume line because every perfume of the line (7 perfumes) has it in the dry down. If you would like to explore this line, go ahead and you have my recommendation. It's very classic and very French perfume line!
