Luca Turin is the world’s most famous perfume critic and a scientist. Together with his wife, Tania Sanchez, he wrote a book about perfumes, compiled out of copious amount of perfume reviews named Perfumes, the A-Z guide. Every perfume is rated from one to five stars, one meaning that perfume is a total failure and should be avoided…and five stars meaning it’s a masterpiece. In this article I present you all perfumes that got three star, and are considered good perfumes. Soon there will be another book by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez that will cover all perfumes launched in the meantime. I highly recommend you to check their amazing book, it’s very (sc)entertaining and more than informative. Marked blue (links) are my reviews of mentioned perfumes.
