Anjin PWP Product reviews
5 October 2015 / 26 April 2024 by Pell Wall (Chris) | Leave a Comment
Anjin by Pell Wall I’ve been a subscriber to Le Mouchoir Parfumé for some time: the incisive, informed and most importantly short, reviews are just my cup of tea. They are by no means always positive and don’t pull any punches however, so it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I opened the email […]

Hypoallergenic Fragrances Some of the materials used in perfume can cause allergic or sensitising reactions in a small number of people.

Aroma-chemicals Blending Kit by Pell Wall I’ve been asked a few times whether I have perfumery materials, especially the synthetics, available in small amounts for amateur perfumers and indeed for perfume collectors who want to learn more about what makes up the notes in their favourite perfumes.

9 April 2012 by Pell Wall (Chris) | 1 Comment on Persian Prince – The Spring Flowers Collection – PWP Product
This is a smooth, subtle interpretation of hyacinth – this naturally rather brash flower is here tamed and made easier to wear – in composing this scent I imagined blue hyacinths though even within one colour of flower the scent varies with the variety grown. I couldn’t get the fragrance to go blue without bunging […]

Deep Purple by Pell Wall One of the great classics of perfumery violet perfumes have been popular since the 17th century for the distinctive, sweet, floral aroma. Violet is combined with other scents in many, many fragrances but here I wanted to allow it to shine alone. You’ll recognise immediately the ‘parma violets’ character of the scent, though […]
