The Ten Best Winter Scents
November 11, 2004

Angelique Encens by Creed Private Collection.

Marlene Dietrich’s personal scent, created by Creed and only recently available to us mere non-trenchcoat wearers. It dates back to the early Thirties, and that’s obvious – perfume just doesn’t smell like this any more (sadly). Don’t expect any namby-pamby citrus stuff in here; it’s smouldering, infinitely feminine, spotlight-grabbing stuff – tuberose, amber, angelica, incense and vanilla star.
