Persolaise Review: Baptême Du Feu from Serge Lutens (Christopher Sheldrake; 2016)
The soundbites If Baptême Du Feu were a piece of music it would be Metamorphosis One by Philip Glass. If it were an image, it would be a bright sari…

Shade Of Green
Not an accurate representation of Jardin Persolaise From shed to lawnmower to compost bin to hanging baskets and back to shed again. Gardening has been the theme creeping through many…
Lutens Keep Playing
…continued from yesterday’s post (click here to be taken to it) The latest entries from some of the more bling-tastic brands haven’t registered on my fragrance radar. I have sniffed…
Persolaise Review: Amber Aquilaria from Electimuss (2014)
Far too many brands around today rely on aspirational marketing, bling and hackneyed ideas to try to make an impact on potential buyers. Cue: Electimuss, a perfect example of rather…
Persolaise Review: La Religieuse from Serge Lutens (Christopher Sheldrake; 2015)
Waiting for the next Lutens release has almost become like anticipating the next movie from Terrence Malick. Granted, Uncle Serge doesn’t exercise our patience quite as much as Malick does,…
Persolaise Review: L’Incendiaire from Serge Lutens (Christopher Sheldrake; 2014)

Most press releases can be scanned and dismissed in a matter of seconds, but the ones from Serge Lutens are always worth a quiet read with a strong coffee and…
Persolaise Review: Laine De Verre from Serge Lutens (Christopher Sheldrake; 2014)

Big news from the house of the double-C logo. Here’s a press release I received this morning: CHANEL takes great pleasure in announcing the arrival of Olivier Polge as Perfumer…
Persolaise Review: La Fille De Berlin from Serge Lutens (Christopher Sheldrake; 2013)
The latest from Lutens and Sheldrake is a delightful exercise in wrong-footing the wearer. At first, a potential buyer is likely to notice its colour: dense, purple and almost opaque,…
Persolaise Review: Coco Noir from Chanel and Grand Bal from Christian Dior (2012)
Whilst watching Joe Wright’s over-egged version of Anna Karenina, I wondered if the impeccably groomed counts and countesses waltzing across the screen could possibly have worn François Demachy‘s new Grand…
Review: No. 19 Poudré from Chanel (2011) and Miriam from Tableau De Parfums (2011) + Miriam Winners
There’s a lot of anti-Chanel feeling around at the moment. Before the venerable house had given everyone an opportunity to recover from the various Chance flankers, they released Bleu which…
Review: Vitriol d’Oeillet from Serge Lutens (2011)
Uncle Serge and Christopher Sheldrake have been up to their old tricks again. Their latest release could easily be dismissed as an old-fashioned feminine, a woody floral stuck somewhere in…
