While arranging perfumes by notes or brands is interesting, other things sometimes stand out when you’re re-organizing your collection. These scents tried to give us a new way of looking at the world: Chanel Boy, Eris Mx., and Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois. Did they succeed? I hope they moved the pendulum in a direction where we enjoy perfumes for the scent and don’t worry about whether they market to us or not.
Mx. is the most recent launch of the group, as it came out in 2017, and its warm spices give way to warm woods. It beckons with its warmth and then captivates with its shapeshifting.
