Second Attempts
June 15, 2025
Yesterday, I spent some time revisiting Roja Parfum’s Lost In Paris and Dior’s Bois Talisman. Between the two, Bois Talisman left the weakest impression — the mid and dry-down stages have a peculiar plastic-like quality. Lost In Paris performed slightly better, though it felt somewhat linear, and I couldn’t detect the butter accord. For a fragrance in their prestige collection, it is something of a disappointment. Some are saying this is the best gourmand ever. I cannot say I agree.
