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 […]

Guerlain Habit Rouge, Vetiver & L’Homme Ideal parfums review – Delphine Jelk; 2024

Persolaise — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Why entice us with just one scent when three bottles lined up next to each other look so much better in a photo?

Other videos focused on Crivelli Tubereuse Astrale (Quentin Bisch), Ffern Spring 2024 (Elodie Durande) and the entire range from Eau D’Italie. Here are […]

Persolaise — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Dior have now created so many versions and flankers of Miss Dior, they must surely have enough to make up a football team, with plenty of players left over for the substitute bench. But whether they’d win any trophies at some sort of Scented World Cup is doubtful, because with every iteration, the Miss Dior […]

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