Like for many, perfume (like many things olfactive) holds the status of mystery to me; and in a sense, I have never really gotten it, simply holding on and nurturing a signature smell throughout these years. As I was shopping for a new fragrance last year, I was struck by what I was seeing and scenting: the wide array of cheapness repulsed me, you could sniff the marketing machine behind each bottle, nothing seem to smell true and worth my money. I left it at that, hoping to read more about it, learning where the true ideas and smells are.
Evidently, with that in mind, I’m glad to stumble upon things like this: Chandler Burr’s, NY Times perfume critic, Ten Favorite Fragrances.
