Self Perception.. When Dancing
What I think I must look like while I dance… What others think I look like while I dance…
Perfume for Men or Only Cologne?
One of the first books I read on the topic of scent was Perfume by Luca Turin. He includes lists in the back of his book like “Top 10 Colognes for Men” “Top Ten Perfumes for Women” and “Top 10 Women’s Scents that Men Ought to Wear.” It was nice to be given permission to …
Face Cleanser, Moisturizer, & Lip Balm – Nardos Natural
On the ABC television program Shark Tank I see four brothers presenting a family business Nardo’s Naturals; a line of organic products. Intrigued, I log onto their clean-cut website and look over their product’s ingredients. Being a fan of skin care products that don’t contain ingredients that I can’t pronounce or read, my excitement begins …

In the Drear of February I Wish You Daffodils
Oh how I do enjoy opening up that mail box, reaching inside, and tearing into a non-digital letter from a friend. The thought behind it, the time it took to sit and write it with ink, and of course seeing the person’s unique handwriting. It all makes me smile. Anyone get a letter that they’ll …
Swiss Perfumer Andy Tauer’s Work
Am rather taken with the works by Swiss perfumer from reading his blog, scent descriptions, and reading up on his history. He holds a degree in chemistry, and melds that so well with a vivid artistic vision displayed in the pieces of scent art he creates. Love this quote from a Question and Answer style …
Why Old Books Smell Good
Anyone that’s stuck their nose inside a few age-worn books (better yet, surrounded themselves with stacks of them at a library) knows what aroma I am referring to, that of old pages. While reading the book Perfumes: The Guide I was happy to read an explanation into this delightful aroma. “Lignin, the stuff that prevents …
