What should come next on this list? Deauville, Biarritz, Venice, Riviera. Chances are ‘Edinburgh’ isn’t the first location that springs to mind, but Chanel would beg to differ. Their new addition to Les EauxParis-Edimbourg – takes us to the land of tweed and tartan, and it was reviewed in a recent episode of Love At First Scent. Here’s a link: Chanel Paris-Edimbourg review.

Hats off to Olivier Polge for giving us another commendable piece of work in a year that has also seen the release of the superlative – and entirely different – Le Lion. Some may complain about Paris-Edimbourg‘s longevity and lack of drama, but that would be missing the point of its existence. The Eaux range is concerned with lighter, more cologne-like compositions, and in that regard, this Scottish effort fits the bill well. It rushes past you like a woody-salty wind, invigorating you with its wild energy. And then it leaves you behind, racing ahead to the craggy, mossy expanses of the secluded Highlands.

Persolaise

  1. I got my bottle of this today, thanks in part to your warm review. I love it! Very much the Granville-replacement I was hoping for. Even though they are not identical, they serve similar masters. And whilst citrus isn’t listed in the notes, I do get a strong lemony opening!

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