LET'S START!

WHY "RAIDERS OF THE LOST SCENT" ?

Another blog about perfumes?

Yes, but it is a particular blog, that wants to show perfumes different from the usual, and in a different way from the usual. 

But what perfumes are we talking about? We are talking about two categories of perfumes: the first are those that no longer exist, that are now part of the past, since they are no longer in production.

And the others are those that "are no longer the same as before".

In fact, those who are passionate about perfumes will have noticed for a long time that current perfumes are different "from those of the past", even if apparently, reading their name, they are the same.

This blog is therefore dedicated to the discovery, or rather the re-discovery, of those splendid perfumes from many years ago, which "seemed so different". Was it just a memory, or were they really "different"?

Unfortunately, it is not just our youthful memories, there is also something true: today's perfumes are very different from those of yesterday, for a whole series of (complicated) reasons.

We could write entire books about it, but what we are interested in now is hunting for lost perfumes.

And this blog also wants to show the details, the boxes, the bottles, to appreciate their aesthetics, to see how the perfumes were made, to understand which is the best version to choose from among the many produced.

Happy reading, have fun!
