Oh look, SOMEHOW all the Christmas cooking responsibilities have fallen to me and Madame Persolaise AGAIN. Mind you, I quite enjoy the whole thing… except for the supermarket shopping. That is an experience right up there with root canals and PPI calls in the annals of first-world problems. So, whilst things are still relatively calm, I thought I’d take a moment to wish you and yours lots of laughter, wonderful food and plenty of relaxation for the festive season. Enjoy every minute of it!

And please do come back on the 30th for my rundown of the best perfumes of 2016.

Happy Christmas!

Persolaise

  1. Merry Christmas Persolaise. Hope you have a wonderful time and Santa brings you lots of wonderful new smells!

  2. Thank you, Persolaise, for such entertaining writing all year, and all the best for 2017. In the depths of winter (it's a little colder today, at least) I'm looking for the smell of my childhood in Sweden. Not the cosy, saffron-cinnamon home part, but the beautiful, sunny, frozen outdoors. Chanel's Sycomore is doing a decent job of evoking fir trees; all my other 'winter perfumes' are too indoorsy by far. What smells of snow, sunshine, ski wax, and blue skies? Happy 2017!

  3. Thanks very much, I'll do my best to enjoy it! Have a very merry Christmas and a fantastic holiday season. I hope the new year will bring you health, wealth and happiness and everything you wish for!
