Earlier today I was joined by my fellow perfume critic Max Forti for a video on the best exciting perfumes: fragrances that fill us with a sense of energy, dynamism and vitality. As you can imagine, our choices generated a fair amount of discussion, so please make sure you click on the ‘Live chat’ when watching the video, to enable you to follow the audience’s comments. Here’s a link to the broadcast: Top 10 best exciting perfumes.
