Just to say that an article I wrote recently on my beloved Guerlain Vol De Nuit, an in-depth look at the perfume and the thematic and olfactory connections with the novel by Antoine de St.Exupery that the scent was based on ( it is such a curious, haunting and diffident creation, and one of the most enigmatic, difficult and beautiful perfumes ever made in my view), has just been published in issue three of the prize winning Odou Magazine: the piece I wrote in issue One, Perfume Haters, won the 2103 Jasmine Literary Award this year, much to my extreme delight.
It looks like it will be a very interesting issue, and you can either order a ‘physical’ paper copy or digital version at the website.
Congrats Neil! I’d love to read it.
I just browsed your blog again looking for a review of VdN but couldn’t find it.
No, it’s in the magazine Odou. I made a mistake the first time I put this up with the link. This time it should be ok.
Congrats Neil…your writing is always amazing and the award is well-deserved!
the link is still not working!!
oops!!!! sorry it is working… oops again!!!
You deserved the award my friend. Congratulations! Oh and Vol de Nuit is one of my favourites.
I love it. And it has taken me a very long time to actually get round to attempting to describe it. It is almost dauntingly opaque.
Felicitations! The unison of a very much beloved author, a favourite Famille de parfum And a cherished combination of both in your person. 4 Bisous a la Française
Merci beaucoup. I was really boosted last night.
