Monogamous creative relationships are unusual in the perfume industry, where few perfumers enjoy in-house status at venerable houses.

As a long-time Shalimar devotee, Guerlain’s first Parfumeur Boutique in Montreal was a destination I was eager to check out.

Elle Fanning is gushing over the phone about her co-star in the campaign for Miu Miu Twist, the new fragrance for which she is the face.

With seven perfumes, four oils, three scented waters and one candle, Gucci did not hold back with their newest luxury fragrance collection.

If you were to eavesdrop on my chat with Joseph Mul, you might think he’s describing a rather temperamental woman who has stolen his heart. “She’s capricious,” he says, simply. “She makes you wait.
