A few weeks ago, when I broadcast my Christmas gift recommendations, I talked about a profound sense of wanting to hold on to the things that feel as though they’re soon going to disappear forever. Part nostalgia, part angst, it’s an emotion that has coloured many of my days lately. And sure enough, it turned out to be a guiding force when I was putting together my list of Top 10 perfumes for the coming winter, which I recently presented over on YouTube. Here’s a link: Top 10 best perfumes for winter 2022. And, as always, here’s the detailed breakdown, with time-stamps:

Lilanur Incarnation (Olivier Cresp) 6:32
L’Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu (Bertrand Duchaufour) 11:55
Nicolai New York (Patricia De Nicolai) 18:32
BDK French Bouquet (Amelie Bourgeois) 23:57
