Ladies, gentlemen and fellow perfumoholics –
As you may have noticed in the course of these past few months, I have not posted as frequently as I once did.
In part because life got in the way, but mainly due to a most propitious and auspicious occurrence of a fateful kind that doesn’t happen often and which I have been sworn to absolute secrecy about. This has swept all other considerations and obligations away, and must take priority over everything else for a while.
No worries – it’s all good and the world will know very soon!
At present, I have three reviews of major new releases from favorite brands I shall try to complete over the course of the next month or so as my time permits. Believe it or not, perfume writing satisfies an aesthetic itch my other writing does not, and I have truly missed being able to review as I once did.
But most important of all, I wanted to inform you that you are neither neglected nor forgotten.
Simply that when opportunity came knocking… I had no choice but to open the door as wide as I could!
Thank you for understanding.
Have no fear – I shall return with wonders galore!
Fragrantly yours –

Thank you for your note. If you ask me, I will always patiently wait for your new articles, no matter how long. Happy that “it’s all good…”
It is indeed rather epic! 🙂
Whatever your exciting secret might be, congratulations on it, Sheila!!! 🙂
You just wait, my friend…;)
Yes, Congratulations ❤
Well, you don’t know what’s coming, but never fear – you will! 😉
Dear Sheila, while I will miss reading your beautiful stories so often, I cannot help but feel absolutely happy about your mystery job. Congratulations!
Caro
Ah, darling Caro, it’s much better – and bigger! – than that…;)
Can’t wait but I’m already happy for you 🙂
Very happy for all the good things going on. And interested in the reviews to come 🙂
There will be more fragrant madness later, this I promise!
Love that Basset!
I love Bassets! If I ever get a dog, it will be a Basset…
I have a sentiment for daschshunds. My family had a real dame one, she passed away earlier this year
photo shoot…hmmm…excited!!!
Wait for it! 🙂
Cryptic cliffhanger or what?! All sounds good though…!
