As the times in which we live continue to be strange (not to mention bizarre, unsettling, polarising, heart-breaking and testing, but hey, let’s stick to a euphemism today, shall we?) I thought I’d try to spray a little bit of optimism into the air. So, for my most recent episode of Love At First Scent, I presented a list of my Top 10 best romantic perfumes — just in time for Valentine’s Day. Annoyingly, the internet gremlins insisted on raising their heads again, which meant that the broadcast had to be split into two parts (I promise you: as far as I’m aware, I’m not doing anything wrong, and I always check and re-check everything before going live) but never mind. Better two than none, I suppose. Here are some links, together with a rundown of the scents I covered.
