I’ve been searching for a new fragrance for years, as I still default to White Musk from The Body Shop which I’ve worn since the ‘90s. I set out to find the most popular perfumes as well as some hidden gems and new winners on the scene.

I’m quite sensitive to fragrances and think they should be banned from taxis, planes and other confined areas. Which highlights how subjective perfumes are. One person’s treasure is another person’s nausea.
