Dear Friendlies

As the high summer season is upon us (in “The North” at least) the mind inevitably turns to rock pools, sandy shores and sunny climes… in short to holidays!

Now some of you may be aware that The Dandy has already been on his American Adventure, so I will be staying home this August (in the main), but The Hit Parade will be taking an extended break.

Over the last nearly six months you have selected an astonishing array of perfumes for me to peruse, and I have worn them all – the vast majority of them willingly – on my skin.

However, with time constraints and travel ever acting as diversions, I have fallen a little behind in furnishing you with of accounts of my experiences.

So for the next month or so I will be concentrating on this task and penning the scores of scented letters I find I now owe you all.

Fear not though, as I shall still be adorning myself with The Dandy’s Scent Today in order to remind me of the aromas that I’m writing about.

I’ll also endeavour to keep you entertained with occasional snaps of The Perfumed Dandy’s Staycation Summer.

Oh and while I’m about it, don’t forget that I’m forever popping moderately interesting snippets of my humble existence on facebook and twitter… so why not take a peek there too!

The following symbols will, I’m reliably informed, take you directly to my hang outs at these places…

Well, I feel better now that I’ve set The Dandy’s house in order and look forward to doing what I like best… writing to my dear friends about fragrance.

Have an exquisite summer.

Yours ever

The Perfumed Dandy.

Dearest Alls

Apologies to the many of you who have already perused my thoughts on this great perfume, but, for the sake of completeness, I felt I should highlight my review of Narcisse Noir by Caron.

This way when our little festival of this fragrant house comes to an end, all the gems I have had the chance to try and write about will be found in one place together.

Simply click on the link above or one of these sumptuous images to be transported to the world of classical ballet and beautiful yellow flowers…

Yours ever

The Perfumed Dandy.

Would you believe, a ballot tied three ways!

One of those rare occasions when I had to use my casting vote…

And what else was The Dandy to do in this last instalment of The Hit Parade before it heads off on its holidays than chose the only Caron in the pack?

I do hope it doesn’t disappoint!

Following its selection by your good selves, The Perfumed Dandy will now take a few days (or weeks) to deliberate and cogitate the merits and mischiefs of this fragrance fair or foul and will, in due course, provide his report on relations with the new discovery by means of a scented letter.

There will be other opportunities to choose perfume to be placed on The Dandy’s skin when The Hit Parade returns in the autumn.

In the meantime if you would like to thrust forward a fragrance for future fame simply visit ‘Suggest and old scent or recommend a new one’ and leave your suggestion there.

More to come on doings over the next month or so, until then…

Have an especially fragrant day!

Yours ever

The Perfumed Dandy.
