Love: Ayala Moriel Bonzai Perfume

I find it hard to write about fragrance, because you need to be able to smell it to understand, and I can’t really convey scent through my blog, unless I use cheesy descriptor words like musky, floral, citrus, etc… which don’t mean anything at all. But I was sent a sample of the Ayala Moriel Bonzai Perfume and I felt it was worth a mention. They describe it as “Minimalistic, Japanese-inspired woody fragrance with shiso and agarwood.” I agree it smells woody, and quite fresh, and almost a bit masculine. It would also make a great candle scent. It is worth checking out, if you are looking for something new, and not too mainstream.

Here’s a blurb about Ayala Moriel Parfums, a Vancouver-based company, from their website:

“Ayala Moriel Parfums is an artisan perfume house dedicated to the art of natural perfumery. We design and handcraft natural perfumes from pure and precious botanical essences.”
