As we survey the fragrant landscape, it’s clear that this has become ‘The Year of the Rose’. So we invite you to bury your nose in that bloom – the theme for this issue of The Scented Letter for this latest issue of the world’s only English-speaking magazine for perfume-lovers, packed as ever with fragrant facts, must-smell scents and fascinating interviews. (Which was recently recognised yet again for its excellence, in The Fragrance Foundation Jasmine Awards 2022.)
