Persolaise Love At First Scent 22 - live perfume reviews - feat. Frederic Malle, Roos & Roos

Episode 22 of Love At First Scent

This was a Facebook Live broadcast* streamed on Friday 2nd November 2018. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.

The perfumes covered in this episode were:

- Dawn from Frederic Malle (at the start of the video)
- Tommy Now from Tommy Hilfiger (at the 28:30 minute mark)
- In The Wood For Love from Roos & Roos (at the 42:00 minute mark)
- Spiceair from Hermetica (at the 1:09:30 minute mark)

and the classic scent was

- Nu from Yves Saint Laurent (at the 57:00 minute mark)

Here's the blotter update:

- The Malle is teetering rather skilfully, I must admit, between the seductive heights of the opening leather-rose section and the woody-ambery base. Extremely commendable work, for what it is.
- The Hilfiger is one too many sweaty t-shirts worn by a troupe of overactive teenagers.
- In The Wood For Love has dried down to an elegant, woody-musky affair. Still very 80s, in an enjoyable way.
- Spiceair remains intriguing and fascinating: strange galbanum-lily pumped into a wide open whiteness.
- And Nu is an utter delight: the precision with which the woods, spices, incense and labdanum co-ordinate with each other is heavenly.

* I'm sorry to say that this episode was affected by some kind of technical issue I don't fully understand; I should have known something was up when a few people said they weren't seeing a picture. Whatever the cause of the problem, the end result appears to be that the video isn't in HD and that its quality varies from acceptable to poor on several occasions. (Thankfully, the audio is fine.) I can only apologise, but I won't delete the episode, on the premise that you'd rather have low-quality visuals than none at all. Better luck next time...

Thanks very much indeed for watching!
