The public's favourite critic is back...
There was lots of speculation on the whereabouts of Chandler Burr (we had given you some idea, you should have followed us more closely) as he hadn't written a column for his New York Times column in a while. Actually make that a long while: His last review was of Givenchy's boring Play ~please don't play with it~ back in July 2009! But here he is now: In good form to give grades to some popular and non-popular fragrances alike and ready to provoke discussion on the topic given by all and sundry. Feels good to own the game, eh? Enjoy your reading clicking the link!

ReplyDeleteHi Elena, thanks for the tip! Chandler's reviews made for interesting reading as usual, but what i found more interesting is one of the comments on that site. It kind of sums up most of what is wrong in today's perfume industry and is so typical of our angst-ridden world. Just have a look and you'll see what i mean. It got me all depressed to be honest.. cheers, Wendy
