Episode 18 of Love At First Scent
This was a YouTube Live broadcast streamed on Sunday 8th July 2018. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
Perfumes covered in this video include:
- Hidden On The Rooftops from Miller Harris (at the start of the video)
- Grande Bellezza from Folie A Plusieurs (at the 15:00 minute mark)
- Velvet Incenso from Dolce & Gabbanna (at the 30:30 minute mark)
- Stigmato from Folie A Plusieurs (at the 50:30 minute mark)
and my classic choice was
- 2 Man from Comme Des Garcons (at the 42:00 minute mark)
NOTE: For some reason, YouTube hasn't flipped the video over to the correct orientation this time. I'm very sorry about that, but I won't delete the video, as I guess you'd rather have a 'reversed' video than no video at all.

Here's the blotter update:
- Hidden has turned into a mono-dimensional, 'pale wood' scent, with a yellowy, pollen-like tinge. Not overly inspiring, on paper at least.
- Grande Bellezza has thinned out considerably, compared to how it opened. An insubstantial, woody-vetivert drydown.
- Velvet Incenso has made more room for the vanillic facets, but the incense remains discernible.
- Stigmato hasn't changed a great deal: still cool spices, cedar and that metallic twist.
- 2 Man has moved into a marginally sweeter drydown; the balance between this facet and the 'snuffed candle' feel is heavenly.

Thanks very much indeed for watching!
