LT and TS – mazel tov, and feel free to call me March.) So I emailed the publisher and received the following email response from Tania: I didn´t see it covered in the introduction, and I was curious: how did the authors round up the fragrances for their review? (From here on out, btw, I´m referring to them as Luca and Tania, because “Turinand Sanchez” sounds stupidly formal to me. Just warning you: it´s rich stuff, and you may put it down feeling a little ill. The Guide is probably best savored as one would a particularly delectable box of chocolates – devour three or four of them slowly, with a glass of wine or cup of coffee, although I´m not judging you if you do what I did and try to eat the whole box at once. It´s a long-anticipated updated redo of Luca Turin´s previous French-language Le Guide, an alphabetical list of perfumes, in this edition reviewed by Luca Turin (LT) or Tania Sanchez (TS) or, on a few occasions when they disagree or the fragrance is particularly monumental, by both.
If you´re reading this blog I assume most of you are familiar with Perfumes: The Guide and the format, and if yo´re not, here´s a link to their website. I was ostensibly issued an early copy for review (the publisher asked us to wait until today to talk about it), but instead I did what I assume every fragrance nut would do – I dug through the book to see what the authors thought of my favorites, feeling smugly vindicated by some and horrified by others. I´ve spent much of the past couple of weeks tucked into Perfumes: The Guide, to the dismay of the Big Cheese and my children, who kept interrupting me for trivialities like requests for food, or the location of some clean clothing.
