Von Laurance is a fragrance editor of French and German descent, but he was raised in Brooklyn, New York. For the past 17 years, he has been reviewing the world's best fragrances for top publications.

Von has a particular talent for picking out the subtleties in each scent, and his reviews are highly sought after by both fragrance brands and consumers. His sense of smell is almost preternatural, and he can detect even the slightest hint of a particular note in a fragrance.

Throughout his career, Von has traveled the world attending fragrance launches and events, always searching for the next great scent. He has reviewed countless fragrances, from the classic and timeless to the bold and experimental.

Despite trying many fragrances, Von always returns to his favorite: a woodsy, earthy scent with hints of musk and amber. It reminds him of his childhood, of long walks through the forest and the smell of the earth after a rainstorm.

Von is grateful for the opportunity to share his love of fragrance with the world through his reviews.
