Scent of a Timesman

CJR Daily today has an interesting Q&A with new New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr — his name oddly seems to reference both detective novelist Raymond Chandler and Perry Mason portrayer Raymond Burr.

The article points to a couple of famous Burr descriptions of scents, notably: “What is wonderful about Diorella is that it smells like a new fur coat that has been rubbed with a very creamy mint toothpaste. Not gel. Paste. It is a great, great fragrance.”
