READ ME FIRST!!!!

To use this blog - please use the Journal Search feature. Search by name, note or house.

I’m not using this as a blog so much as I’m using it to database my perfume journals. I’ll provide links to the perfume blogs that are better written. I’ve been trying to find a good databasing system and realized that the blog tools provide everything I need:

  • Tags
  • Hyperlinks to reviews
  • Room to write impressions
  • Search capability

Please understand that I am a noob and that my scent impressions are (frequently) not accurate ones.Items tested will be updated in the appropriate entry. I will not create new entries for each wearing since I’m trying to keep my impressions of each scent together.

Unless I have specifically mentioned that I have finished or gotten rid of a fragrance, assume I will be getting back to it. Again - I’m new at this and am certain that things I don’t like now I might like (or at least appreciate) later.

Your perceptions of each fragrance are highly welcome since I am only one uneducated nose with a limited attention span. I will be moderating comments in order to reduce spam and general nastiness. Bear with me if your comment does not automatically appear.

Let me know if this helps you.

  1. Hey, it’s March over at the Posse. These have been showing up as pingbacks in our comments so I followed one to see what was up… these are really nice. I like your brief-impressions style, and I think your observations are great. Do I know you? Do you comment on the blog?

  2. Ooo, I’m so happy you’re doing this - I have just discovered the Perfumed Court and should start doing this myself so that I know what I thought of each of those little vials I bought!

  5. I agree, great idea - an online journal! Like the graphic treatment of the entries - one of my favorite techniques (mixed type fonts and sizes - tricky but fab if done well!)

  6. Thank you all so much for the nice complements.
    The graphic treatment is one of the default templates within WordPress. Anything having to do with the design of this blog is courtesy of the nice person who designed the template. Not me.

    BTW - the name of the template and the person who designed it is at the bottom of this page.

  7. Found your perfume project and I love it! I’ll be visiting often. Reading your entries I even get to find about blogs I didn’t know existed! I just linked to you. Wishing you great success and most importantly, much olfactory pleasure!

  8. How fun is this! And parallel to what’s going on in my sphere…that Perfumed Court is a fabulous resource, isn’t it? (Though methinks “mania enabler” might also be an appropriate label… ;) ) I am going through a few decant “collections,” plus this and thats and an expanding collection of “LOOK what I found at the discount store!” (Arpege, Bal de Versailles, etc. etc.) Me, who used to get headaches from my Nana’s perfume, starting on an exploration inspired by my Grandma’s Norell.

    I also think your blog style is a nice compliment to the other perfume blogs out there, though I’ll bet your personal style and the vast immersion into so many scents dictated your approach. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what all you “discover”…and now I’m really wondering if I should blog instead of journal!

    Good luck, have fun.
