'Perfume Notes' — Luca Turin's Blog
I happened on it last evening.
If you read just one blog about fragrance then this is the one I'd recommend.
He started it back in June of this year; I spent last evening wandering around the archives with great pleasure.
Luca Turin became known outside the very secretive, proprietary world of high–end perfume with the publication of Chandler Burr's wonderful book, "The Emperor of Scent."
That would be Turin.
Bonus: when I emailed Turin after reading the book he hit me right back.
I cannot recommend Burr's book highly enough: should you read it you will become a fan of Turin's and find his blog even more irresistible than it already is.

Well this has been a bit weird; on Thursday all the posts and archive links were taken down, and all that remained was a short message from Luca saying that he wasn't doing it any more. Now if you try access the site, you're asked for a username and password - someone really doesn't want us reading something. Well tough: you can still access most of it as cached Google pages....

I've been reading this blog all morning -
"Grosjman’s 100% Love is a deceptively quiet rose-and-chocolate accord that feels remote and tender like a love letter written on feather-light airmail paper reaching you three weeks after it was written."
Wow!
