In fact, as far as its fragrance range is concerned, I don’t think there’s ever been a time that the brand has reacted to other creators’ trends, as opposed to forging its own. But one of its most recent scent developments is rather […]

Nothing wishy-washy: people had to either love it or hate it. You can detect the fruits of that suggestion in the finished fragrance. Although Jack opens with […]

A few weeks ago, I was at the Salon De Parfums on the top floor of Harrods, being talked through the wares of the relatively new Ex Nihilo brand. And of course, as any of you who know its Unique Selling Point will guess, I was […]

When I saw that one of the scents released by the new, UK brand Nancy Meiland – founded by the eponymous, self-taught perfumer – is called Aquilaria, I let out a groan of dismay. It’s depressing enough that we’ve got a torrent of ‘oud’ perfumes, […]
