In response to a request from many of you, I presented a Valentine’s Day list over on YouTube the other day. This year the focus was on perfumes that were made in the last 10 years but somehow convey a sense of old-world glamour. Here’s a link to the video: Top 10 perfumes for Valentine’s Day 2023. And, as per usual, here’s the complete list of scents, with timestamps and links to the original reviews, where available:

Le Labo Ylang 49 (Frank Voelkl) 4:12
Les Abstraits Des Cendres (Antoine Lie) 10:36
Papillon Dryad (Liz Moores) 16:06
L’Artisan Parfumeur Mont De Narcisse (Anne Flipo) 21:30
Tom Ford Beau De Jour (Antoine Maisondieu) 26:46
Marc-Antoine Barrois B683 extrait (Quentin Bisch) 33:28
Eris Night Flower (Antoine Lie) 37:24
Cartier La Panthere edp (Mathilde Laurent) 42:26
