I am a huge fan of the L'Artisan Parfumeur 'Coeur de Vetiver Sacre' which they have decided to kill off after only two years in stores. I have written a blog piece on my dismay and other assorted vetivers i love, coming soon to a Foxy page near you. When Penhaligon's launched the first raft of Anthology archive scents, Bertrand Duchaufour came up to see us and help launch them. My partner is French and we took him to the Scottish Malt Whisky Society in the evening where he was very taken with the single cask exclusives one could sample. He kept sniffing over and over, rarely tasting. He was very surpriused by enormous variety in olfactory textures. And i will search out the Caol Ila single malt... thank you for the info.

It smells just like Caol Ila single malt, a very good alternative to drinking the damned stuff :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052136112243053372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007960086441215798.post-10632782947193093142013-02-10T09:13:08.439+00:002013-02-10T09:13:08.439+00:00I agree on the fruit front.

I do like a darker fruit note, something mixed with leathers, spice and tonka say. It a facet I've grown into, maybe all the years I've spent in Scotland and its chilly climes. 'Speakeasy' is by far the best release from Frapin. Cortichiatto has taken the Frapin elements and subverted them to his own obsessive cause.....a surprise on so many levels. Do let me know what you think.

Now with the news of Speakeasy release I had a similar reaction to you: obsessing to smell it. I haven't yet but the idea of Cortichiatto doing a perfume with that name and these ingredients is truly tantalising. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052136112243053372noreply@blogger.com
