Simone Laurent

Simone Laurent covers women's fragrance for The Last Spritz. She tests perfumes on skin across a full day — the opening, the dry-down, and longevity well past the six-hour mark — and weighs each one on the compliments it earns in the real world, not the marketing around the bottle. Her range runs from bright florals to deeper orientals and gourmands, with a soft spot for the ones that read expensive without shouting.

Every pick Simone recommends is worn on skin for a full day — the opening, the dry-down, and longevity past the six-hour mark — and judged on real-world compliments, not bottle hype. More on how we test →
