I’ve written about Luca Turin before, when I recommended “The little book of perfumes” of his.

Such a fine review from such a monumental figure is more than I could have dreamed of.Perfumes The Guide 2018 review: The problem with best-worst lists The moany reviewer The case FOR banal fragrances Sample, test and sniff: wear what you like Price & Availability

The only thing I could have wished for is a fair shot. He liked them! Not only did he like them but with his skilled nose pulled out aspects no one had before. As I read the article a wicked smile whipped across my face. My heart sank a little, certain that our little perfume house could not have received the praise that was bestowed upon other more connected, more established houses. I feverishly tried to figure out what was going on and realized it was the review. Then one morning on the way to a neighboring city do a sale my phone exploded. Libertine though passionately ran is a small (very small) niche perfume house and besides that we are from Canada, certainly not a olfactory mecca or even contender. Truthfully I expected nothing to come of it. Unsure who exactly resided at this mystery address we were given. We gently packaged up all of them Libertine line after gently kissing each one and sent them off. Without trying to be too devious we managed to obtain an address. Turin was looking for niche brands to review on his new blog. In early spring we had heard whispering in the perfume world that Dr. He is brutally honest and gives critique exactly where it is deserved with no allegiance or favoritism to any brand or house. Luca Turin along with being perfume and aroma obsessed has written some of the least presumptuous, most insight full and charming perfume reviews in his book Perfumes: The A-Z guide. That was of course having our perfumes reviewed (positively!) by the giant in the world of smells, Luca Turin. I just wanted to write a little bit about the biggest thing to happen to Libertine over the summer.
