Favorite Perfumes
Published on:
A quick condensed list based on over 15 years of exploration in the world of perfumery. I didn't include obvious classics such as Polo Green and Aramis. If I were to pick 3 perfumes to wear for life, it would be: Hermes Bel Ami, Chanel Antaeus and Serge Lutens Chergui. Absolutely insane what's possible with perfumery.
I'll add more as I discover them. For now:
