Best wishes for a wonderful 2009! My brother and his family are visiting so we’ll have a little family celebration to ring in the new year. I think many people across the country are hoping 2009 will bring good changes. Hope your new year is full of joy!
Here’s the first review I’ve seen of the new Frederic Malle rose scent called Portrait of a Lady. It’s by Dominique Ropion and the listed notes are Turkish rose, cassis, raspberry, cinnamon, clove, patchouli, sandalwood, incense, Ambroxan, and white musks. Sounds interesting! The last rose/patch scent I fell in love with was Francis Kurkdjian’s Lumiere…
Just a quick post to update international shipping status. The volcanic dust from Iceland has grounded many flights, so I’ve been holding some packages here until flights resume. I’m continuing to ship to Australia and other countries that are not affected right now, but I have some packages for the UK that I’ve held. They…
Thank you, Natalie, for your reviews of Nostalgie, Jour Ensoleillé, and Cocoa Sandalwood on Another Perfume Blog! Your analogy made me smile because sometimes it does feel like the little engine that could around here, lol, just trying to slowly and consistently make progress up the mountain. We probably all feel that way though, making…
People comment that they often find a note or accord that seems to run in common between multiple scents in the same line. For example, people talk of the Guerlinade base, or the Tauerade base, or the way the Chanel brand’s style is associated with aldehydes. I can’t speak for other brands, but I’d like…
The studio will be taken over today by a team of contractors to replace some closet doors and open up the bathroom wall to remove a piece of wood that’s catching on the pocket door, scraping it up and making it hard to slide. I’ll have the scents of plaster and paint for a couple…
Samples and small decants of the following scents are now available at The Perfumed Court: Ambre Noir, Encens Tranquille, Winter Woods, Sienna Musk, and Fireside Intense. This can be convenient when you’re picking up other things at TPC and want to add an SSS sample or two. They also offer small spray samples, which I…
Hello and Happy New Year from Vancouver’s North Shore …
today… it is SNOWING! again! The plows have not cleared the side streets over the last 2 weeks and if you want to go out, it’s either ‘bring a shovel or stay home’. You are fortunate indeed to be living in such a temperate climate down there.
I am going to order some of your samples in the new year, and I hope to also come down and visit your facility. I am so into perfume!
I can’t imagine sitting in a warm place right now, so perfume is essential to lift my spirits.
Peace , health, and wealth be with you in the New Year…

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for the sweet new year’s wishes! Hope your 2009 is fabulous too!
Yes, I’m really lucky living here. It’s been cold for us lately, but that just means frosty mornings and no snow except on the distant mountain peaks.
Fragrance really does lift the spirits. I can very much relate to that!
I’d be happy to send a sample order up your way when you see some things you’d like to try. If Lieu de Reves sounds interesting you might wait a couple weeks because it should be on the site mid-January.
Hang in there with your snow!
Laurie
Hello,
Happy new year from cold Slovenia!!!!!!!!!
Luckily, your Opal wraps me inside of its impact and makes our cold mornings a bit less cold.
Keep up a good work in 2009 and have a lot of personal achievements!!!!
Blessings,
Aleksandra
Hi Aleksandra! Glad you’re enjoying Opal! Bet it really is cold there. Brrr. Makes our frosty low last night of 28F sound wimpy.
Thanks for good wishes! Hope your new year is wonderfull too!
