Best Vernus by Jorum Studio Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

A pretty honeyed floral with some ambery background. Magnolias, violets, jasmine, ylang-ylang are all in the bouquet thrown on satin blanket of white musk and Siam benzoin.

The Sniff on Latin Lover by Carner:

"The [opening] florals recede into a pretty, flowery fug in the base of the scent, still heady, still very flowery, sweet and powerful, but the notes become less discernible from one another. The warmth remains and, at times, this perfume just really smells like sunshine on naked skin. On a cold, drizzly Yorkshire day this is indeed a joyous thing!"

Matilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon I, was known for her breasts (“le plus beau décolleté”) and her talent as a painter. She also hosted a celebrated 19th-century Parisian salon attended by the greatest artists and writers of her time. This namesake perfume is an olfactory salon of provocative white florals (ylang-ylang, narcissus, jasmine) given tropical succulence with passion fruit and papaya. Mathilde’s heady brightness is softened by iris and sandalwood.

Lacura, the name of this perfume extrait sounds a bit like Latin or some magic language for "protection or cure".

It’s an uplifting nectarous woody citrus formula that has the complete set of wonderful perfume materials from the bitter orange tree: bigarade oil from the fruit, neroli and orange blossom absolute from the bloom and the fresh woody petigrain from leaves and twigs. That citrus and fresh woody plenty is layered with voluminous modern musks (velvety Velutone), gleaming vanilla, caramel and benzoin.

In the times when most people still believed in the magic of scent, orange blossom was considered to be a symbol/good charm for marital harmony and bliss (and often it’s still part of brides’ bouquets) and also an aphrodisiac.

Mendittorosa still believe in perfume magic crafting their blends in the old town of Napoli and Lacura is their recipe for lifting moods and happy dreams.

A green citrus perfume in which the delicious juicy aroma of ripe mandarins is mixed with the dry greenness of petitgrain, soft musky geranium, and crisp cedarwood.

As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. Mandarins in this perfume come from southern Italy, with nuances supplied by green and yellow mandarins harvested in different seasons.

The green fruit extract has a delicate fleeting aroma, which rolls into a more confident sweet blend of ripe mandarins. The amber note in the base merges the two into a happy zesty perfume.

Neroli is an essential oil produced by steam distillation from the flower of the bitter orange tree, also known as Monsieur Le Bigaradier.

The essence of neroli in this perfume has been carefully sourced by Perris in the sunny Calabrian coast from traditional producers. It’s top quality and has a fresh, slightly bitter, floral character with aromatic nuances.

As if kissed by the sun, caressed by the wind, nourished by the earth and quenched by the sea, Neroli Mediterraneo reveals all the sumptuous citrus and flowery nuances of the Italian neroli made even more sparkling with the help of orange blossom and petitgrain. A touch of Timur pepper and ginger make it even more upbeat.

‘We have come so far, it is over.’

ORLO (edge in Italian) is latest and second creation of Versi Studio, an olfactive poetic mysticism trilogy from Mendittorosa exploring the relationship between poetry and perfumery.

Chapter 2, ORLO is inspired by Edge, a poem by Sylvia Plath.

The perfume is behaving like magic fiery serpent breathing intoxicating incense fumes and sending sweet citrus zest sparks as it progresses through a fantastic fragrant dimension.

Golden Hour, January 2016, Sydney

The surf crashes against the sandstone rocks. Your skin glows in the warm sun underneath a blazing Australian sky. As you climb out of the water, a gentle breeze blows through the nearby jasmine and frangipani trees, mixing with the subtle scent of sea, salt and rock.

Take the moment to soak it all up, and dive down under with this evocative fragrance.
