While I follow your recommendations closely and have discovered some greats through you (Adorem!) what I appreciate most is how you’ve taught me to smell perfume. Smelling a tobacco perfume today, I had pop into my head the phrase “cedar-y tobacco” and that’s all thanks to observing your talent for spotting how materials elide and echo each other. Thanks for the ongoing lessons by example.

Thank you for including two of my important scents on the list. While writing my PhD, I was generously spraying myself with The Legacy of Petra - I think that myrrh is responsible for a certain academic feeling that I needed at the time. I defended my PhD this year :) and for the defense I wore another important scent for me, Shalimar. I always wear its various versions, including flankers, for important life events. And so it was this time :) It's nice that you appreciate them too. Greetings from Poland :)

In later darker, colder times my favourite Perfume ever Shalimar, sometimes Youth dew or "Avignon ". Now i want to try Serge Lutens you have mentioned because of the jasmine. On my wishlist is " "Death and decay" von Lush, a deep flowerbomb 😊🍂💜

Recently Ormonde Jayne have been doing lots more store exclusives , then after a year or so when the contract runs out they release them as if they were ‘new releases’ (like the Bukhara a few weeks a go which was a Fenwick’s exclusive for the past year) which I think is why their output looks like it’s increased. I’m off OJ at the moment after their usual really bad customer service - ordered some limited editions on their website, 3 weeks later nothing had arrived, chased & was told they were experiencing delays due to ‘high demand’ , 3 weeks later still nothing so chased again & was told that they had sold out, they were now discontinued & if i liked they could refund my money. Not very good ! 😡
