Estee Lauder Glimmer review (Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo & Jean-Marc Chaillan; 2026)

Persolaise — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:00:00 +0000

– In recent years, the situation at Estee Lauder has been rather opaque. Official sales information tends to be difficult to come by, but according to the more trusted sources out there, and contrary to the received wisdom, the company’s fragrance division has enjoyed a certain amount of success. However, it would seem this is […]

Frederic Malle Contre-Jour review – Annick Menardo; 2026

Persolaise — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

– For years, the arrival of a Frederic Malle perfume has been a cue for a total nerd-fest. But the brand’s latest release, Contre-Jour, pushes the opportunities for geekery to greater extremes, urging us to read and consider it through many more lenses than are normally used to peer at the subject of a review. […]

Serge Lutens Bois Roi D’Agalloche, Zurafa, Sidi Bel-Abbes, Tarab and Cracheuses De Flammes reviews (Christopher Sheldrake; 2015, 2020 and 2025)

Persolaise — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 10:30:00 +0000

– Reading between the lines, it would seem that Royaume is the brand’s update of the Section D’Or range, which launched in 2014 to loud protestations about its exorbitant price tag. One presumes that as the Gratte Ciel seem to have had their day, the folks at Lutens decided the house needed another ‘haute’ collection, and the bling-fully packaged Royaume would appear to […]

Osmanthus 19 4:10Eucalyptus 20 15:20 One of the few enjoyable things about summer ending is that it means I get to resume my YouTube broadcasts and my interactions with all of you. I’ve presented several new episodes over the course of the last few weeks, featuring reviews of releases from Le Labo, Diptyque, Jil Sander, […]

Indult and Diem showcase reviews – 2025

Persolaise — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In the same way that anyone claiming they’re cool almost certainly isn’t, anyone claiming to be a disruptor is probably so firmly entrenched in the establishment, they wouldn’t know a revolutionary act if it smacked them across the face with a bandana. This is what ran through my mind as I read the self-congratulatory prose […]

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Verde and Mihan Aromatics showcase reviews – 2025

Persolaise — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Guerlain are still fiddling around with the Aqua Allegoria collection. A few years ago they relaunched the range and positioned it as the sustainable, eco-friendly segment of their catalogue. They then branched out into Forte versions and limited edition ‘Harvest’ releases of some of the scents. And now they appear to be presenting it as […]

Neela Vermeire Eshal, Guerlain Rose Amira, Etat Libre D’Orange Nostos and other reviews – 2025

It’s been nearly seven years since Neela Vermeire added a scent to her main range, causing some to wonder if she’d ever treat us to a new creation. But she is now back, and she’s more than made up for the long drought: Eshal (composed by Bertrand Duchaufour) is a glorious return to form. I […]

Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady 15th Anniversary, Etat Libre D’Orange Clean Suede, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Il Profumo reviews – 2025

Persolaise — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 09:30:00 +0000

Time-hopping was high on the agenda in my recent set of Love At First Scent broadcasts: I compared the new Il Profumo version of Acqua Di Parma Colonia with the original, as well as Etat Libre d’Orange Clean Suede with their seemingly discontinued Tom Of Finland, and, most nail-bitingly, a first-batch bottle of Frederic Malle […]
