Gone are the days when the renowned writer Luca Turin affirmed that "perfumed blogs had become a kind of literature", and “…new blogs emerge every day, and it seems that everyone has something to say on the matter.”
Alas, most of the blogs of the past have now ceased to exist.
Anyway, we browsed the web and came across "new" blogs, websites, and videos that we particularly liked. We selected three of them in particular.
-
-A cornerstone of the field, which hardly requires any description. This website had disappeared for a time and has now reappeared. Truly priceless, an irreplaceable point of reference: Grace Hummel's ("Cleopatra's Boudoir") Guerlain's perfumes from Past to Present. (https://guerlainperfumesblog.blogspot.com/)
-
-An absolutely splendid YouTube channel, run by a genuine enthusiast. As we were watching it, we found ourselves thinking: this is precisely everything a true vintage aficionado ought to be. We warmly recommend it, episode after episode: Stephen's Eau de Treasure. As we were watching it, we all found ourselves thinking: this is everything we have never managed to achieve. Stephen, on the other hand, has succeeded. His main strength is an irrepressible sense of enthusiasm, which is probably the most important quality for a perfume lover. Those who watch his videos have the feeling of being part of the experience, of taking part in it themselves. For this reason, we *strongly* recommend watching his videos: Eau de Treasure.

-A blog that stands out from the usual: it is not strictly vintage-themed, but when you read it, you immediately realize you are engaging with the writings and reflections of someone truly knowledgeable. Some observations are truly subtle and insightful: The Scented Devil. Interesting to know, he also maintains a YouTube video channel featuring many witty and engaging videos. His strong point is that he is highly perceptive and never banal. (https://www.youtube.com/user/Zealot42147)
‘New entries’ is meant ironically: these are sites that have existed for a long time, but may not yet have received the attention they deserve, which is why we recommend them. And we encourage all enthusiasts to start new ones. There is tremendous interest in the great fragrances of the past, and it is important that high-quality websites and video channels exist that address them with competence and professionalism.
June 2026 update:
"Hi,
I just wanted to give you a heads-up that my new blog is finally up and running! I've been able to restore a large portion of my original website, but I've also expanded and reorganized it to make it much more comprehensive and easier to research. I honestly think it's a big improvement over the old site.
I've also been rebuilding my other blogs. They're still works in progress, but I've made a lot of headway. If you visit my main blog at www.cleopatrasboudoirblog.blogspot.com, you'll find the list of my other blogs in the right-hand sidebar—just scroll down, and you'll see them all, just like before.
I hope you enjoy exploring the new site!
For all these reasons, these three sites have the distinction of being permanently included in the blogroll on the left column."

Keep in mind that it is nearly impossible to determine whether a perfume is authentic or fake, based on the description alone. It is extremely difficult to tell, even with photographs. Fake or counterfeit perfume manufacturers have reached such a high level of sophistication that it is impossible to determine the authenticity of a perfume without actually holding it in your hands.
