Scent is always sold to us via sex, however much perfume houses dress this up as love for Valentine's Day.
Iso E Super is an aroma molecule famed for being more of an effect than an odour, imbuing scent with a fresh, yet velvetily musky allure.
It is sultry yet soapy, thunderous yet ethereal, beautiful yet sinister.
No scent is as monumental, yet elusive as Bois des Iles, a darkly woody oriental, released in 1926.
Now, older, wiser, with my decades-long love affair with scent, it gives me great pleasure to share my secret arsenal of perfumes proven to make chaps of all varieties swoon.
