The Post Covid Bucket List - See Madagascar With My Own Eyes

The Post Covid Bucket List - See Madagascar With My Own Eyes

 Some evenings I spend on the internet thinking about things I might do once this storm has passed but let us face the music, it’s unlikely to happen any time soon. Lately to stave off boredom from lockdown in Sydney I come to work and when I am not cutting, packing or sending or, dare I say it at the detriment of my own reputation, spruiking my own wares, when all that is done, I make perfumes and research things on my iPad whilst I listen to music and contemplate what the fuck happened to our lives? This tiny pissant of a thing really has wreaked havoc on our overprivileged Sydney lifestyles where we gaze at the harbour, at ourselves, at the blue horizon from white sandy beaches and generally just live better than most other people in this world. We live so well that I often wonder why so many people suicide in this city. In fact not far from our Studio is one of the most popular sites from which people take their final trip, jumping off the cliffs to a rocky watery death at the base. You often hear sirens every day heading up there either to prevent one or to clean up the mess. It never gets reported you see, because suicide seems to beget more suicide so they conveniently leave it out of the papers and instead publish a line at the bottom of news article which would indicate suicide by suggesting you can call Lifeline if you are in a mental storm and can’t find a way out.

IF YOU MISSED THE SALE

IF YOU MISSED THE SALE

Dear Customers, 

Our overly generous discount codes are time limited as we progressively discount the lots over a number of days which are effectively Dutch Auctioned . If you would like to secure yourself a great deal, it is best to get in early rather than wait for the final code which is limited in time. 

We are always open to negotiation on +61413140994 prior to the final codes going live. 

For those of you who grabbed a wonderful bargain, I hope you enjoy the product and spread the word about what we do and encourage your friends to make use of the codes once they become available. 

Thanks,
Nicholas

Ambergris – The Truffle Of The Ocean

Ambergris – The Truffle Of The Ocean

It was a few weeks back as I was watching a perfume bloggers YouTube channel that I was finally able to work out that lingering part of Aventus that made it so irresistible. Long after the citrus notes were gone and even when they were on, there was this background scent, something I could never quite put my finger on, which made it always so inimitable to my mind. It was, according to the blogger, the fact that they were using real ambergris.

The New Travel Atomisers Explained

The New Travel Atomisers Explained


It is not that I wanted to start a business selling perfume nor that I ever wanted to become a hobbyist perfumer but that seems to be where this business is heading right now given the amount of time I am tinkering around in the workroom with scents.

Dimitri Weber Of Goldfield & Banks - Making Australian Perfumes And Taking Them To The World

Dimitri Weber Of Goldfield & Banks - Making Australian Perfumes And Taking Them To The World

He did call upon me. It was worth the wait. The first thing I will tell you was that he was meticulously dressed in a casual way. A plain coloured wool like weave bomber jacket. A mandarin collar shirt in a light blue, black jeans, leather sneakers. A neat beard. Enough hair that he did not quite look middle aged but might get there soon. Simple. Elegant. The way some men I have met in Parisian wine bars dressed. Nothing too much, but not boring.

A Silk Vest For The Window - Paying Homage To The Early Days Of Charvet

What now feels like many years ago when I was interviewing Jean-Claude Colban in his superb office above the Place Vendome - he revealed to me something I did not know about the history of menswear.

Like Watching A Fire

Like Watching A Fire

I spent yesterday in the countryside and it is so infrequent now that I get to watch a timber fire burn. It's one of those last things I love about the country that reminds me of my childhood. These days you barely if ever see fires burning in the city. So that's part of the allure of spending time in the country, a real fire. Anyway, I took a great photo of it, we built one outside towards dusk. It was burning quite well and I do consider myself as "pretty good" with getting a fire started. But there are few things as mesmerizing as watching the red centre burn and the flames lick and there is no plot line, no narrative, no real outcome other than watching it turn to ash, and yet, to my mind, as interesting as any Netflix series.

Hunter Valley Zoo

Hunter Valley Zoo

There is a wonderful privilege in going to a zoo. It's a day out and there is something about having such a wide and varied range of animals to have time with. Of course, it's sad to see them caged. I can't deny that. But the flip side is that if everyone was to try and fly to Africa to see gorillas in the jungle, there would be an even greater cost on our environment.

New Bow Ties Online

New Bow Ties Online

We haven't stopped and we won't stop - it's something we just love doing regardless of whether our doctors are wearing scrubs to the office or if weddings have been called off. However, we are mostly working with clients over Whatsapp - it makes sense when the orders are less frequent and for smaller quantities - we can give you exceptional service and attention to detail. For example, our new rose gold medallions for ties which are not on the website. Or our range of shirt fabrics that don't make it to the website either. So give us a bell on +61413140994 if you need anything.
