10 Fragrances I Cannot Live Without
The title is of course a lie – I am currently out of at least two perfumes mentioned here and I am still very much alive (although perhaps this explains my recent health troubles…). But a follower on Instagram asked me to provide such a list and I thought: why not? I have enough experience with wearing and paying attention to perfume by now to select scents that I’m reasonably confident I’ll not change my mind about any time soon.
Autumn Scent Update: Dark Florals and Other Pleasures
My fragrance posts are few and far between these days, as I test and buy so much less than I used to and hence mostly wear perfumes I’ve already spoken about. For blogging purposes, this is not ideal. I do still go through distinctive moods, however, and aut..
Autumn Edit: Fragrances
Suddenly, autumn is here – not just de jure, but also de facto. It was still 27 degrees on Wednesday, now it’s barely ten and raining hard. So it seems the right moment to start with my autumn edits, they no longer feel disconnected from reality. I’m in fact..
8 Perfumes for the Summer in the City
In Brussels, summer has decisively arrived. It’s been exceptionally warm for a week, with temperatures rising over 30 degrees Celsius today. The perfect time, then, to take a look at the summer perfumes I’m currently loving. As always, this is not a complete..

10 Serge Lutens Fragrances to Try/Buy Now
Serge Lutens is in the process of revamping its export (read: cheaper and more accessible) perfume line. I will again refer you to this article for more details, as I do not have the space nor the energy to go through all of it here. What is relevant for our..
Serge Lutens Sarrasins: Night Jasmine
I’ve been in a perfume slump for a while. Not that I don’t wear any, I do (most days), but it’s usually old favourites – pretty predictable and boring stuff from Chanel, Tom Ford and Jo Malone. I also haven’t been buying much recently: a bottle a month is ve..
Byredo Unnamed and 10 Violet Fragrances to Try
Violet is one of my favourite perfume notes*, especially if it’s blended with wood, or green notes, or moss, or leather. It is therefore relatively – but not entirely – understandable that I bought Byredo’s unnamed scent pretty much as soon as I tried it. I ..
7 Niche Perfume Houses For Beginners
My unhealthy relationship with perfume is widely known and as a consequence, people often ask me for advice. In addition to the endlessly irritating “so, what’s the best perfume?”, there is the much more thoughtful “where should I start exploring?” The peopl..
