Scented Sunday - (Some of) My Top Fragrances of the Year

On Thursday Suzy Nightingale and I hosted our incredible annual event, On The Scent Live. We both chose four of our top fragrances of the year to talk about and in the first installment of this brand new series, I wanted to talk you through my choices. They are all different and incredible in their own rights and I'll explore what makes each one so special.
If you adore fragrance make sure that you have a listen to The On The Scent Podcast this and every Thursday.
Here are the scents I mention:
Hermés Barènia
Merit Retrospect
Thameen Centre Stage
BDK Rouge Smoking
