For the next few weeks, I’m going to try to focus my attention not on my laptop, but on the business of getting some much-needed rest and relaxation, which means this blog will be set to auto-pilot. Several reviews have been scheduled to appear between now and the end of August, including Lutens’ Santal Majuscule, Guerlain’s re-working of La Petite Robe Noire and Dior’s parfum version of Eau Sauvage. In addition, there’ll be a lengthy interview with none other than Jean-Claude Ellena, so hopefully you won’t miss me too much. And you never know, I might just reappear to give you the odd update if something interesting happens.

Be good while I’m away, and be sure to come back in September for a chance to win a signed copy of Ellena’s new book.
Persolaise.
