Chalder Burr, GQ's scent critic ranks the top ten most fragrant cities in the world.
Critical highlights include Burr description of Bogota: "Like a new car, concrete, and aftershave-a product of the bustling downtown business district. It's strange but you can also detect the altitude-8,612 feet above sea level-because of the exotic wind, rain, and greenery that rises from the Andes in the East."
More concisely, he describes Rome's fragrance as "like L.A., but with 2,000-year-old stone and 500-year-old palazzi, peeling paint, and espresso-spiked decadence."
