I am gasping for Spring. It has been cold for too long. And although ‘Deux’, a brisk, intelligent- if conservative – scent crafted by perfumer Lyn Harris for candlemaker Cire Trudon is not quite my usual style : serious, clear-eyed, a determined hiker walking grim-lipped, alone through miles of undisturbed forest……this morning, I did enjoy its sense of leaves, saplings and bitter, green, clenched coniferousness; the buds’ perennial perseverance on the branches, and the soon-to-come opening newness.
