We’re trying something different. For the foreseeable future, the usual post-video updates will appear not here, but on my Substack. However, they will NOT be behind a paywall and you will NOT have to subscribe to the Substack if you want to read them. If the system doesn’t work, we’ll revert to the updates on […]

Chanel Gabrielle L’Eau review – Olivier Polge; 2024

Persolaise — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

– I confess I keep forgetting about the existence of Gabrielle. In my mind, the last high-profile, mainstream, feminine release from Chanel was Coco Mademoiselle. And yet, the Gabrielle line has been growing. The original edp came out in 2017 (has it really been nearly eight years?), followed by the Essence in 2019 and the parfum in 2022. And in late […]

Les Indemodables Immortelle Solaire, Miller Harris Melody, Valentino Anatomy Of Dreams reviews – 2025

Persolaise — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The arrival of a perfume from Les Indemodables is always a cause for excitement, and their new Immortelle Solaire does not disappoint. I reviewed it in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, together with releases from Miller Harris and Valentino. Here’s a link to the video: Miller Harris Melody, Valentino Sogno In Rosso, […]

Eveilleur and Ascetic Aesthete showcase reviews – 2025

Persolaise — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:00:00 +0000

It doesn’t matter how long I’ve been doing this for — I always love discovering new brands. So, the other day, during a Love At First Scent session, I was particularly excited to be able to showcase not one, but two firms that had been unknown to me: Eveilleur, a Croatia-based house founded by Dajana […]

Christian Dior Homme Parfum review – Francis Kurkdjian; 2024

Persolaise — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 16:00:00 +0000

– There have nearly been as many Dior Hommes as there have been Miss Diors. Those of you with anything greater than a perfunctory interest in the number of the latter will know this means there have been, to put it modestly, rather a lot of Dior Hommes. The result of this proliferation is that […]

Guerlain Peche Mirage review – Delphine Jelk; 2024

Persolaise — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

– The link between peach and Guerlain may not be obvious, but nonetheless, it’s important. One of the house’s most celebrated scents, indeed the perfume many consider to be the greatest ever made, Mitsouko, famously opens with a peach note. Granted, the fruit doesn’t dominate proceedings and it soon becomes a supporting player to the […]

Bohoboco Polish Potatoes and Magic Mushrooms reviews – 2024

Persolaise — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 18:30:00 +0000

– It’s probably fair to say that the Polish brand Bohoboco is going through something of an identity crisis. Launched in 2009 by Michał Gilbert Lach and Kamil Owczarek, it presented a pleasant if rather derivative set of fragrances — largely reworkings of bestsellers from other brands — before moving into the inevitable ouds and […]

Tom Ford Black Lacquer and Frassai showcase reviews – 2024; 2025

Persolaise — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Fresh from the excesses of Esxence, I recently presented a showcase review of a brand that had been unknown to me until I visited the fair: Frassai, founded by Natalia Outeda. Excesses of a very different kind were also on my mind during my review of a new-ish release from Tom Ford: Black Lacquer. Here […]
