I’m writing this review on the first day of autumn, and I have to admit that I started stocking up on my fall basics a few weeks ago. Although I don’t need more fragrance in the same way I might need more black tights or a new coat, I do think about updating my scent selections for cooler weather, and maybe adding something new to the mix. Even in the constant onslaught of new releases, there are a few brands that still get my attention; two of them are Frédéric Malle’s Editions de Parfums and Arquiste.
Last year, Frédéric Malle launched Heaven Can Wait, developed by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I first tried this perfume; I initially sniffed it from a lab bottle in a Editions des Parfums boutique, then sprayed it on myself at a launch event, then purchased a travel-size bottle…and somehow never got around to reviewing it, but it’s back in my rotation this fall…
