2 thought on “Non-Perfume Post: Dariush Alavi In Sight & Sound Magazine”
  1. Stumbled on your YouTube perfume channel last night and was immediately struck by your eloquence. You have a gift. Regarding the trio of sibling films connected by a bottle bank – ‘Blue’ left its mark on me. The scene in which Juliet Binoche scrapes her knuckles against a wall while walking in an attempt to feel alive, to feel anything, is etched in my mind.

I love hearing from my readers, so please feel free to write a comment or ask a question.
