Congratulations! I've been a bit of a lurker on your blog til now (though I read it aslomt everyday). Your post was sweet and reminded me of how much writers need conversation with their readers! I love perfume conversation because well, I love learning about perfume and okay I'm on a mad quest to find a new signature (I felt the need after becoming a mother my old standby no longer felt right) which pulled me down the rabbit hole into perfume world. And here I am 150+ samples later, with my own spreadsheet of testing notes, test dates, etc no signature in sight but I am loving the journey! And I love communities like this where we can all share notes, ideas and impressions. Perfume is invisible art, you know? It takes a lot of conversation
