Call me a dewy-eyed softie, but I think the world would be a better place if we spent a bit more time on maintaining friendships. So for my list of Top 10 perfumes for spring — the season of rebirth and renewal — I decided to focus on scents that, in one way or another, capture everything that’s best about the unique relationship that can develop across months and years and decades between a group of true pals. I also used the broadcast as an opportunity to mark the 16th anniversary of Persolaise.com: an endeavour that has enabled me to make many wonderful friends all over the globe. I am so grateful for everything that they, and all of you, have done to support me in reaching this milestone. Here’s a link the YouTube video, followed by a list of the all the fragrances I covered: Top 10 best perfumes for Spring 2026.
