Top 10 Baroque Perfumes – Rich, Detailed, Ornate Scents

Few things can dispel the winter gloom as effectively as perfume — especially if you choose a scent that’s distinctive, dramatic and full of striking contrasts. A Baroque perfume, you might say. So, in order to do my bit for warding off the hibernal doldrums, over on YouTube, I presented a list of my Top 10 Baroque fragrances, with each one connected to a key piece of Baroque art — no mean feat for someone who doesn’t really know his Caravaggios from his Gentileschis! Here’s a link to the video, followed by a list of all the scents covered, with timestamps: Top 10 Baroque perfumes.
