Perfume Pilgrim

Launching on 10th March in London, I was given a sneak preview and sample of this. The packaging is architectural and luxurious and the accompanying brochure is a work of art on thick card, gloss white printing on white and solar bronze. To quote it is “driven by design” It is a fragrance dedicated to fragrance “connoisseurs and lovers of beautiful things”. The scent is described as a fresh oriental by Jacques Polge, chic and truly different.

I usually steer clear of headache inducing men’s brews, but this smells wonderful on me, of bergamot and woods sprinkled with a blossom, teaspoon tip of sugar and mandarin. I will be reluctantly sharing this sample with my hubby to try. I doubt I will be the only woman buying this for a loved one only to furtively spray this macho drop of sicillian orchard grove on themselves too.
