No 5 is the impeccable, pouting, Gallic femme. Nahema is the tempestuous princess. Angel is the less-ditzy-than-she-makes-out twentysomething. So when a new brand turns the game […]

In his Ostara for Penhaligon’s (discontinued, sadly) he gave life to the pollen-like, sappy-green personality of the daffodil. In L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Traversée Du […]

But it often ends up smelling less than convincing, because those very same materials can’t quite sustain the iris illusion if they’re pushed out into the world without […]

Such is its photorealistic quality – and its diffusiveness – I’m surprised those who wear it don’t attract […]

In much the same way that Etat Libre D’Orange’s Rien always elicits a chuckle – because, in fact, it contains the very opposite of nothing – last year’s offering from Marlou brought several wry smiles to my face as I was getting to know it.
