CARON PARIS - ATMAH - La Collection Merveilleuse - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2026 -

If freedom were a fragrance, it would be Atmah. In other words, the elegance of the soul. Caron’s latest creation for La Collection Merveilleuse.

•

Se la libertà fosse un profumo. Sarebbe Atmah. Ovvero l'eleganza dell'anima. L'ultima creazione di Caron per La Collection Merveilleuse.

Fragranza che evoca una sensazione piena di libertà, un sentimento che si palesa in modo definitivo, palpabile e trova la propria essenza dentro spazi sconfinati, nutrito dall'immensità di un orizzonte dove tempo e spazio restano perennemente sospesi.

she's a mage because ig orlesian wardens thought that the combination of blight + the broken circle dwindled the number of mages significantly enough that they're willing to send some to help with the remaining darkspawn.

she's a firm believer that as long as you do things Correctly, the outcome will match up. and she expects the same of everyone else. kind of a no-nonsense type, not strictly rule-following but order-favouring person, Just Do It Right. what do you mean that didn't help? skill issue. she's not purposefully cruel or anything but she does have that air of superiority around her because of her conviction that everyone who has ever failed just wasn't trying hard enough, or wasn't thinking enough. which makes every fereldener in the keep annoyed at the very least, which she thinks is stupid, in her opinion shit like personal feelings or differences should not interfere with Duty. which comes above all else.

as long as you percieve her as a distant figure of authority, she's probably a decent commander. reliable. actually does her job & communicates clearly what she expects everyone to do. but with all the politics and interpesonal relationships she often comes short. she can look at someone like sigrun and recognize the decision to join the legion of the dead as doing the most with what you have (which caron approves of) while ignoring all the structures that put people in such positions in the first place... anyways that's my peculiar french woman

My mother bought a Big Cake Caron in Mint Fudge, but the yarn is discontinued now, and I'm trying to make this dragon scale winter hood. She did not anticipate it being discontinued when she started making me the fingerless gloves and set YEARS ago.

I have written before about my experience of anise/licorice notes and all the personal associations they hold for me. And though I've dabbled in many perfumes featuring licorice, I've never really felt as though I'd found the anisic ideal. Eau de Réglisse is a good example of a near miss. It came to me as part of a Caron "pick five" decant sampler which included Aimez-Moi, Le Troisième Homme, Violette Précieuse, and that old standby Nuit de Noel. I found Eau de Réglisse's old-fashioned lemon-drop freshness enormously attractive, but the licorice promised by its name seemed more of a whisper than a fully-voiced statement. I wore it and took pleasure in it, but I can't deny the tinge of disappointment I felt... as pale as the tinge of licorice in the midst of all that lemon. 1000 Flowers' Réglisse Noire, on the other hand, is a licorice perfume, not a perfume-with-licorice-in-it. Here is réglisse at its most glistening and regal-- elevated like a jet obelisk upon a pedestal of cedar and spice. But it lifts off like a rocket and stays in orbit for hours, weightless and luscious. Nothing with this much verve could possibly go anywhere but vertical. In every way, Eau de Réglisse pales in comparison to Réglisse Noire. It's less tenacious, definite, distinct-- but then, it's less licorice. In a competition for best limoncello perfume, it would do pretty well for itself. But here, there's no contest.

Why wear Réglisse Noire? Because for something predicated on one of the world's stickiest and most dense confections, it's as sheer as voile and as cooling as the fine mist thrown off by an epic waterfall. What does it do? Initially, it really, really, really makes me mourn for Callard & Bowser licorice toffees (oft-lamented now that they've been discontinued). But at some point, Réglisse Noire takes a subversive little turn into patchouli territory, landing on something akin to Lucien Lelong Tailspin, only sweeter and more transparent. Call this a triumph, for licorice and all its lovers. How do I feel? Oh, so relaxed and composed in my veil of soft, anisic tranquility.
