We have the pleasure of drawing your attention to an interesting article in St George Magazine about perfumery, perfumers, natural fragrances, ‘making scents’ and trends in home fragrances and perfumes. PAIRFUM and Huib Maat were mentioned.
If you prefer to only read the section about perfumery, then please read it here.
To whet your appetite, this is the exact introduction to the article:
