They do sound interesting, but I’m not enchanted by ‘Pills’ as a brand name. The blurb says that ‘every fragrance is a sensory capsule’, but I’m just seeing diuretics.
Heehee! Best product name referencing pills I ever saw was Forgot My Pils, an alcohol free beer. The can art was hysterical, comprising a wind turbine array at low tide revealing that the bases of the turbines were actually tentacles. Don’t know why it made me fall about laughing, but it did.
It’s made by a small brewery in Bath. Any alcoholic drink made south of Gloucester is fondly known as Somerset psychiatry in these parts, so I like what they did with the wordplay there.
“Not just a perfume” = “I am not just me. I am more than me, or more than the me everyone seems to think I am.” Perfume for the self-anointing. (Or too much time on Fragrantica)
As for mysterious brands, I remember visiting the booth of a company called “Gods of our Fathers” a few years ago at Esxence. I smelled all their perfumes and “A Whisper to the King” struck me as exceptional. It’s an English brand. You should try their juices if you can. Another brand I would love you to review is Mendittorosa. You reviewed Le Mat, but they made other exceptional perfumes.
Bulgari Black (asphalt & vanilla) and Je Reviens (old-fashioned nosegay w/inimitable topnote), that's quite a combo to imagine ;-).
It sounds stunning, doesn’t it?
It’s nice, but not huge
I’m imagining the smell of what chewing black liquorice with aspirin tastes like. And liking it!

But the real question ---- Was it Czech non-alcool? (Do Czechs make non-alcohol?!)

Lol - I'm just seeing analgesics in Karen form.
?????? WTF?

Olfactory Manifesto! Patent that one quickly! It’s a gem ❤️
Words on whiff and powdery air, as if bottling O2 like a 70s Guru - but completely free of BS.
Awesome, Luca. I can taste this prose.
Pao Doce sounds fascinating. That's quite the combination!
