NY Times Names Perfume Critic

NEW YORK - The New York Times has restaurant, play and movie critics. Now, there’s a critic to help readers navigate the fragrant world of perfume.

Chandler Burr, a magazine writer and author, will debut in the Aug. 27 issue of the newspaper’s style magazine. If Burr follows in the tradition of other opinionated Times critics, perfume makers beware: scents had better be up to snuff.

The column, “Scent Strip,” will use the four-star system employed by the paper’s food critic. (source)
