As a long time Basenoter, so nice to see a shoutout for supporting them here!

We need Basenotes more than ever right now.

The Christmas gift I am buying for myself will be Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours, my first leather scent!

I started video. You showed a book. I paused the video, went on Google found the book, bought the book, returned to the video. 🎉❤

I also just googled the book!

A Xmas list! Thank you! You've inspired me to look for Nez magazine. Roger & Gallet soaps also make nice gifts. The œillet mignardise one is from their original line-up and their best for carnation lovers. Not available everywhere but you can find it in the UK online at the French pharmacy.

Do you know the brand Divine ? It’s a little brand based in Brittany, in Dinard I think. I would be happy to have your opinion about their scents. Thank you very much for your work !

Wonderful recommendations! Happen to be wearing Le Lion today. 😊 I think I need the Mandy Aftel book. Her "Essence and Alchemy" deepened my passion for perfume. +1 on Century of Scents. Regarding the commenter asking about migraine-inducing fragrances, I personally struggle with the overdose of woody ambers. That was my issue with Portrait of Lady and many popular perfumes. Exposure has made it worse. Interestingly, aldehydes used to bother me, and repeated smelling made me crave them. I don't know if there is anything to be learned from that.😂 Regarding Basenotes, I read the forums, but avoid commenting. They can be quite brutal and cliques. I am too sensitive a soul.

Love Mandy Aftel’s books. I live in the Bay Area and I’m hoping to visit her Aftel Archive of Curious Scents in December or January. Thank you for the Christmas gift inspiration (eeek I’m not ready).

Loved these suggestions and was pleased to see the Mandy Aftel book and will put on my Christmas list . I bought Le, lion a couple of Christmas,s back for myself and was soon smitten and swooning and very happy it’s on your list again . 😊

The Jovoy UK website stocks many of the Nez books.

My son went off to Asia recently, 4711 hand wipes were stashed into his suitcase - he can thank me later 😅

[@Persolaise]

Brilliant!!! 😂

Bonjour monsieur Persolaise👋 Which perfumer from the past and present would you like to interview ? Personally I would like you to interview Pierre Bourdon and Antoine Lie.
