Back to her roots

Posted by Robin on 25 September 2019 Leave a Comment

Lyn Harris is the founder of Perfumer H, the boutique brand, shop and working laboratory she runs in London’s Marylebone neighbourhood. Harris is one of the most well-known names in the world of fragrance; she created her new label after leaving previous venture Miller Harris. Having studied the art of creating fragrances in her twenties under the tutelage of renowned perfumer Monique Schlienge, Harris moved to Grasse, spending five years at the prestigious French fragrance manufacturer Robertet.

Cire Trudon Olim & Mortel ~ fragrance reviews

Posted by Kevin on 18 October 2017 15 Comments

St. Louis by the workshop of El Greco

I’m a Francophile when it comes to candles. Cire Trudon is part of my Candle Triumvirate; Astier de Villatte and Diptyque make up the others. (I’ve always been afraid to try Frédéric Malle candles…I have a feeling they’d expand my candle obsession and budget to an even crazier level.)

I was interested (that’s about the best I can muster these days in Perfumeland, no longer am I “thrilled” or “excited” about new launches) when I heard Cire Trudon had developed a personal fragrance line called Trudon (how many times did I wish one of Cire Trudon’s wonderfully scented room sprays or candles was a perfume?) I’m happy to report three of the first five perfumes pleased me, and today I’m reviewing two: Olim1 and Mortel2. Robin Here at NST beat me to my other favorite: Deux (II)…
