Episode 236 of Love At First Scent

This was a YouTube Live broadcast streamed on Saturday 11th December 2021. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.

In this episode, I presented my list of the top 10 best perfumes for winter 2021.

Introduction 0:00
Akro Dark 5:20
Hermes Equipage Geranium 10:00
Serge Lutens La Myrrhe 13:15
Robert Piguet Casbah 18:10
Tom Ford Ombre Leather parfum 22:35
Eris Night Flower 27:45
Ostens Preparation Jasmine Absolute 32:30
Histoires De Parfums 1740 37:15
Comme Des Garcons 2 Man 40:45
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae 44:25

Here's the blotter update:

- Gosh, what a gorgeous fan of blotters to return to after a few hours. On one end of the scale, the Hermes, the Kurkdjian and the Comme Des Garcons maintain their whisper-subtle elegance, with Aqua Vitae coming across as especially tender and heartfelt. Then somewhere towards the middle of the 'loudness' scale we have Casbah (pushing out a rooty earthiness surprisingly reminiscent of Comme Des Garcons Rouge) and Night Flower (gently and yet unmistakably purring with animalics). 1740 lounges about in its decadent boudoir of immortelle and vanilla. Dark may be relying a touch too heavily on brash woods, but it has plenty to offer by way of its chocolate-inflected patchouli. And the Tom Ford is hovering closer to Dubai than I'd expected, but it doesn't descend into rose-leather cliches. The standout in a terrific collection is La Myrrhe: rubbery, warm, celestial, mossy and sweet. Not just full of contrasts, but an endless cycle of ever-shifting contrasts.

Incidentally, the Ostens jasmine oil is beautiful too: delicate and serene.
