Scents of the Day: Part 8
Last year, I did a project called Scent of the Day. For a month, every day, I talked about a scent on Facebook. I have been asked by friends to make these musings available on the blog, as it’s impossible to find anything on Facebook. So I’ll copy my mini-re..
5+5 Autumny Autumn Fragrances
I don’t believe in perfume seasons. As with anything else, I think people should find out what works for them and then do/wear whatever they like – be it dark leathers in summer or colognes in winter. So it’s with some embarrassment that I admit to wearing q..
Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom
Most perfumes I like are not new releases or even if they are, it seems reasonable to test them thoroughly before voicing a definite opinion. This is very far from the truth in this case, as Jo Malone’s Mimosa & Cardamom was launched in the beginning of Sept..

I wrote about Neela Vermeire recently and Olfactive Studio is anothe..

The Scent of El Born
I ended up in El Born by accident. The plan for that day in Barcelona was to visit the Fundación Antoni Tapies, but it was closed, as the new exhibition was being set up. Disappointed, we headed towards the museum of Picasso, but the long queue put us off. T..

Maleness in a Bottle
There is only one fragrance, ever, that I’ve bought solely for the bottle, and it happened last weekend. It’s not a Serge Lutens bell jar or an austerely beautiful Byredo or even a classic Chanel or Guerlain – although they all have bottles I covet. It’s a m..
