The newest perfume from L’Artisan Parfumeur, Seville a l’Aube, was created by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour based on the description of a particularly sensual night spent in Seville by blogger and author Denyse Beaulieu. I will be reviewing the perfume for its own sake and on its own merits.

Alyssa Harad is a charming, witty woman I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with on one of her recent trips to San Francisco. While I was reading her new book, Coming to My Senses, I could hear her voice in my head clearly, and it was like spending time with a dear friend.
Perfumer Andy Tauer, a CaFleureBon pick for Perfumer of the Decade, is one of my personal favorite perfumers. Recently, he embarked on a journey of collaboration with filmmaker Brian Pera to create perfumes based on characters in Brian’s film project, A Woman’s Picture. I received 7 ml bottles of Tableau de Parfums scents; Loretta, and Dark Passage, a limited-edition scent created especially for this project.
