Persolaise — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:00:00 +0000

– In recent years, the situation at Estee Lauder has been rather opaque. Official sales information tends to be difficult to come by, but according to the more trusted sources out there, and contrary to the received wisdom, the company’s fragrance division has enjoyed a certain amount of success.

Persolaise — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 11:00:00 +0000

– Is quiet about to become classy once again? I suppose, in some circles, it’s never really stopped signifying classiness, but certainly in recent years, most high-end, aspirational brands have marked themselves out from the competition by pumping their work full of the most diffusive, most strident ingredients in the palette.
