There’s a review of Vintage Rose along with reviews of fourteen other rose scents in the most recent On the Scent column, titled A-Dozen + Roses, by Elisa Gabbert. Thanks Elisa! Blog readers know I have a soft spot for rose scents.

Happy New Year! Best wishes for a fun New Year’s Eve and for a wonderful 2012! And a couple more thank you’s that didn’t make it into yesterday’s post. Many thanks, Ayala, for including Incense Pure in your fabulous all-indie 2011 list, and thanks so much Cafleurebon for ringing in the new year with Champagne…
Today I’ve had about 20 emails from people claiming to own boutiques in Russia, Ukraine, and various other foreign countries, and they all want free samples. The emails are not slowing down and I can’t take time to reply. Clearly, as a one-woman business I can’t afford the time or materials to send free samples…
