So what is Noted all about?

Over the past decade I’ve had the pleasure of writing about scent, grooming and style for publications including British GQ, The Guardian, FT HTSI and Gentleman’s Journal. However, as someone who is obsessed with fragrance, rarely do I get the chance to truly indulge in the geeky intricacies of perfume while contributing to these titles. Noted is a newsletter dedicated to exploring how fragrance shapes the world and makes us feel. Whether it’s a new niche perfume that’s piqued my interest, an interview with a nose who’s doing great work right now or a random deep dive into something more historic, this is a space for scent lovers. And, hey, if I can help you pick out a juice you truly love to wear, all the better.

About me

I’m Nick Carvell, a grooming, menswear and interior design journalist who’s previously worked at Mr Porter (Social Media Editor), British GQ (Associate Style Editor), and The Jackal (Editor). Since going freelance in 2017, I have written for numerous publications as well as creating content for fragrance brands including Jo Malone London and Brioni (pictured above). I have been hooked on scent since my dad bought me my first bottle of Cerruti 1881 and, two decades later, exploring all things olfactory is an obsession I can’t seem to shake.

I will try to updated Noted at least once a week on a Sunday. However, if you’re enjoying Noted, it’s probably best to subscribe so if I do happen to send it out at 3am on a Tuesday, you’ll be the first to receive it direct to your inbox.
