I know, I know, I have to stop doing this sort of thing. But I just couldn’t help myself. I was in Harrods with Madame Persolaise the other day, so naturally, I decided to pop up to the second floor to see if they had a copy of a little book with a picture of Shalimar on the cover.
I couldn’t find the ‘Perfume’ section… probably because there isn’t one, as it turns out. When I asked one of the sales assistants if they had any books about fragrance, he took me over to the fashion shelves and said, “If we do have any, they’ll probably be over here.”

Whilst I’m gushing about the book, please click here to be taken to Basenotes’ wonderful review of it, written by Thomas Dunckley.
And seeing as I’m in a linking mood, click here for a mention of Le Snob: Perfume on the Beauty Bible, and here for an article (in German) on Die Zeit online which name-checks Persolaise, amongst other blogs.
