Episode 54 of Love At First Scent
This was a RU-vid Live broadcast streamed on Sunday 15 December 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this special episode, I went through some of the fragrances on the first part of my list of the best perfumes of the decade 2010-19. You can read the list here: persolaise.com...
In the video, we sniffed:
- Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady (at the 9:30 minute mark)
- Ulrich Lang Apsu (at the 18:30 minute mark)
- Neela Vermeire Creations Trayee (at the 35:30 minute mark)
- Chanel Boy (at the 42:30 minute mark)
- Etat Libre D’Orange The Afternoon Of A Faun (at the 50:45 minute mark)
-
It feels odd writing a blotter update for these, but here goes:
- Portrait Of A Lady is just the most perfect incense-rose in its final stages, with musks holding the two notes in place for hours.
- Apsu manages to remain optimistic and serene... and it even retains some pepperiness.
- Trayee is now warm and enveloping: supple, creamy milk notes, cut through with spices and colourful florals.
- Boy’s emphasis is on the herbs: an interesting bitterness contrasting with the musks. Admirably elegant.
- The Faun is a dense forest - mosses, herbs, resins - enticing you to keep delving further in...
