Am off on a very quick out of town trip, and as always hope to work in a little perfume shopping. On Sunday I'll be back with some fragrance gift ideas for Mother's Day. Next week, look for reviews of the new Mandarine Tout Simplement from L'Artisan, Diptyque's Eau de Lierre, and more.

I had a fragrance review started this morning, but the day has flown by and it still isn't finished. Promise to have it done tomorrow.
Meanwhile, raise your hand if you ever wore New West. If you are my age (and no, I'm not telling), chances are good that you had a bottle at some point.
On other matters: if you are one of the nice people who applied to be a contributor to Now Smell This, I have to apologize. The last few weeks have been very busy and I am still looking over the submissions. I am not sure that I'll manage to reply to everyone personally, but if you haven't heard from me, it doesn't mean anything.
And if you missed the original post but think you'd like to write for Now Smell This, here are the details. Not a single person applied to write about scented bath & body products or home fragrance, so if those areas interest you, do get in touch.

Have a little problem with fragrance addiction? Like to write? See the details here. (position filled!)
I am still working on programming issues on Now Smell This. Most of what I am doing is time consuming but invisible, however, I have made a few changes to the appearance of the comments section (please tell me if it is an improvement?) and I have split the Noses page in two and added lots of new perfumes to the lists.
I hope to be back with a fragrance review tomorrow, but I wouldn't swear to it. As it happens, tomorrow is also this site's first birthday. Have a nice slice of chocolate cake for me — or better yet, spritz on your favorite dessert perfume.
Coming soon: reviews of Annick Goutal Songes, Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey & Fico di Amalfi by Blu Mediterraneo.

I am doing some major behind-the-scenes programming on Now Smell This, so once again, no perfume review. I'll be back tomorrow with more new fragrance announcements, and will post the news on Monday, but I might not manage a review until Tuesday when I hope to cover the lovely new perfume from Annick Goutal, Songes. Have a great weekend!
