What’s best than travelling through time and space with the beautiful and complex woody, aromatic and balsamic notes composing Lubin’s Galaad? Close your eyes and let yourself be overwhelmed by this oriental inspired fragrance.

Let’s take the same destination with Floriental by Comme des Garçons. Its beautiful construction breaks the codes and combines balsamic, woody and amberish notes without the traditional olfactive pyramid. A must try and must have for anyone who loves Wonderwood!

With Comme des Garçons 2 Man, you’ll be transported to a world of really subtle woody, balsamic and smoky notes. A world of cosy fumoir in a very private club. An open fire in front of you, a book and a cigar—what a feeling of luxury!

That’s what Creed created with Royal-Oud by making such a beautiful, fresh and warm, oud-based fragrance! One of Oliver Creed’s most acclaimed creation, Royal-Oud is an exquisite combination of both the Orient and the Occident. Imagine a Parisian salon taking its inspiration from a Persian palace, here we are!

09 | 10 | 11 | 12 Some of us are flower addicts! Rich bouquets, or soft and powdery, we need flowers. They make us happy!

And Grisette by Lubin is exactly what you need if you like roses. It feels like Lubin bottled the most exquisite roses with a bubbly citrus cocktail. Fresh and musky—a must have!

Aqua Fiorentina on the other hand is a rich, round and full bouquet.

Deliciously fruity, this one reminds me of so many great memories!

Champaca by Comme des Garçons is a luxurious interpretation of this type of asian magnolia. A real champaca explosion, peppery, musky, mysterious. This fragrance is one of the most beautiful creations of the house!

And Mona di Orio’s Eau Absolue should be on every perfume aficionados wish list! A beautiful and complex aromatic fragrance that combines the most exquisite ingredients in a perfectly

13 | 14 | 15 | 16 And finally, if you’re looking for your signature, something radically different than what you’re used to wear, more complex, or ‘experimental’..

A Creed Green Irish Tweed is an amazing introduction to this world of exquisite perfumes. Imagine a walk through the high herbes and fougères of the Irish countryside. It is literally a breath of fresh air. A green and woody must have for all the aficionados of long walks and cottage spirit!

Idole by Lubin is totally different, and its complexity will obsess you.. It is an hommage to some of the most extraordinary women like Karen Blixen, Charmain Kittredge or Amelia Earhart: strong role models who should be an example to any modern feminist. Follow their adventures through the beautiful balance between freshness and deep spices, smokiness and rich leather.

Love in Black by Creed is another beautifully inspired perfume. All the class and mystery of Jacky Kennedy in a bottle. A beautiful musky violet; deep, woody and definitely intriguing. Love in Black is a beautiful celebration of elegance for both women and men!

Finally, BLACK from Comme des Garçons will bring you down a much darker path. A unique olfactive experience of burnt elements! Complex and minimalistic at the same time, BLACK is a beautiful combination of woods, peppers and incense. Some might find something almost spiritual about it!

BUDDHA TO BUDDHA After a successful relationship spanning several years, it was time to take the Buddha to Buddha x YOUR relationship to the next level: The two parties had dinner together, and after a wild night in Antwerp things got interesting: In no time at all, with a bit of effort from both sides, their love child was conceived.

Buddha to Buddha by YOUR opened its doors on October 23rd with immediate success and great reactions from the fashion/retail community.

During the opening event on November 6th, we spoke with Buddha to Buddha founder Batul Loomans to find out

ADD MY BERRY Having neighbours can be a blessing or a curse. However a good neighbour is a joy; you help each other in bettering the street you live in, give each other tips and advice as well as make sure that when there is an opportunity to work together you jump at the chance.

Addmyberry is this kind of neighbour.

YOUR and addmyberry have been neighbours in the south of Antwerp for a few years but it is only now that they have decided to collaborate for the first time with a couple of celebratory t-shirts exclusive for the YOUR 5 year anniversary.

Having a Morning coffee with us to talk about this, is Rembert van Cauwenbergh, Founder of addmyberry.
