Indian sweets, Italian oranges… and oud buried at the bottom of the ocean. Just three of the globe-hopping delights on offer in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, during which I covered new releases from Davidoff, Acqua Di Parma and Peosym, amongst others. Here’s a link: Acqua Di Parma La Riserva, Davidoff Cool […]

Charlotte Tilbury Perfume Collection, Acqua Di Parma Mandarino Di Sicilia, Ormonde Jayne Vanille Des Afriques and other reviews – 2024

Trust Charlotte Tilbury to come up with perfume names like More Sex, Cosmic Power and Love Frequency… and trust her to make the scents more interesting than they have any right to be. I’m informed by those who have greater knowledge of such matters than I do that despite her borderline-trashy packaging and her over-the-borderline-unhinged […]

Persolaise Review: Blu Mediterraneo – Chinotto Di Liguria from Acqua Di Parma (2018)

Persolaise — Fri, 11 May 2018 11:00:00 +0000

As I write this, those of us living in the UK are going through another one of our all-too-rare bursts of a three-day summer (I expect that, as you read this, we’re back in the bowels of an Arctic winter) which means I’m currently counting the number of times people are complaining that it’s too […]

Persolaise Review: Colonia Leather from Acqua Di Parma (François Demachy; 2014) & Ginepro Di Sardegna (2014)

Persolaise — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:00:00 +0000

One of the pleasures of smelling new perfumes is that they sometimes jolt you into spotting undiscovered facets of older favourites. When I first encountered François Demachy‘s suave Colonia Leather for Acqua Di Parma, I was immediately reminded of Harry Frémont‘s equally urbane Tuscan Leather for Tom Ford.
