Sunday was the start of spring. So in the spirit of new beginnings, I did something I’d never done before over on Love At First Scent: host a radio-style phone-in! Except that, as this was on YouTube, it was a video phone in, with a few followers from several different countries, including the USA, Poland and Greece, joining me for some scented conversation. Audience interaction aside, there was a more conventional purpose to the video: I presented a list of my Top 10 recommendations for spring 2022, with an emphasis on fragrances that somehow convey a sense of gentle defiance. Here’s a link: Top 10 best perfumes for spring 2022.

Below is a list of all the perfumes I covered, with timestamps. If you want to find out what my special guests picked as their spring scents, you’ll have to watch the video.
