Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour Le Soir and Le Matin, Maison Crivelli Oud Cadenza, Roger & Gallet Cologne Twist, Le Labo and Eau De Boujee reviews – 2024

Persolaise — Sat, 14 Dec 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Since it bowed out of circulation a few years ago, Francis Kurkdjian’s Absolue Pour Le Soir has been high on many people’s lists of the perfumes they’d most like to see back in circulation. Well, I think it’s safe to conclude that sometimes wishes do come true, because it has just been re-released, and I […]

Puente Chyprelia, Celine Bois Dormant, Isabelle Larignon and other reviews – 2024

Persolaise — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 17:00:00 +0000

In my final instalments of Love At First Scent before the usual summer hibernation, I tied up various loose ends by presenting showcase reviews of a few brands (one of which is the attention-worthy Isabelle Larignon) as well as talking about individual releases from Celine, Puente and Issey Miyake. Here are links to both videos, […]

Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia (Quentin Bisch; 2024), Armani Blanc Kogane (Benoist Lapouza; 2023) and Noir Kogane (Sophie Labbe; 2023) reviews

Persolaise — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 18:30:00 +0000

Marc-Antoine Barrois and perfumer Quentin Bisch have added a new scent to their astronomically inspired collection: it’s called Tilia and it marks something of a departure from their usual style. I reviewed it in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, which you can find at this link: Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia review. On the […]

Yves Saint Lauren Paris review – Sophia Grojsman; 1983

Persolaise — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 14:00:00 +0000

The other day, I finally managed to catch Still, the documentary about Michael J Fox’s life and career, the last few decades of which have been affected by the increasingly debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In many ways, the film is a nostalgia-fest, and of course, one of its main areas of focus is Family […]

Hermes Oud Alezan, Diptyque Do Son and other reviews – 2024

Persolaise — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 14:00:00 +0000

It was a mix of old and new (in more senses that one) over on Love At First Scent the other day, when I reviewed the latest addition to the Hermessence collection, Oud Alezan, as well as limited editions of Diptyque Do Son and Serge Lutens L’Orpheline, and a superbly preserved, vintage Nina Ricci L’Air […]

For this year’s final regular episode of Love At First Scent, we went all the way from sunny peaches to asteroid-bound rocket fuel, via delicate orange blossom and butcher-than-expected lavender, thanks to new releases from Ulrich Lang, Gucci and Puente. I also made a bit of time for a classic scent: Guerlain’s moving and much-missed […]

Saskia Havekes, Grandiflora, Live Interview

Persolaise — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Nine years ago, when I reviewed the superlative Magnolia Grandiflora Michel and Magnolia Grandilfora Sandrine, I had no idea that one day I’d be interviewing the brand’s founder in a virtual YouTube studio. But that is precisely what happened a little while ago when Saskia Havekes took some time out of a busy travelling schedule […]
