Happy Holidays! Thinking of New Year…

holidays

Happy holidays! I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season, filled with happiness and excitement. Hope that it ushers in a great new year. I am taking a break for a few days to spend time with my family. I will be back next week with new reviews, and of course, with the usual “Best of 2011” post. Meanwhile, I would like to hear from you if there are any specific topics or reviews you would like me to cover in the new year.

  • Carrie Meredith: Happy Holidays, Victoria! What a pleasure it’s been over the past year getting to know you through your blog, and now the Frag. Foundation Indie Committee.

    I would like to read about male and female in fragrance and what that has to do with being a woman or a man. For me male of female in fragrance is mainly about the personality or character of a perfume and I can be best friends with both. December 23, 2011 at 10:19am Reply

  • Hwi Hwi: Hi, Victoria. I love your blog and I am a budding perfumista.

    Topics for the 2012? I have a curious one for you. How about perfumes that are described as “sheer” but with long sillage that inevitably end up being irritating? This is how I would describe Balenciaga Paris L’essence (and Paris to some extent). I am a bit concerned because this perfume has been described as the perfect office scent and I wonder what is the molecule responsible for such “sheer” but deadly perfumes.

    Thanks and Happy Holidays. January 3, 2012 at 10:15pm Reply

  • Victoria: There are so many–musks, some types of sharp ambers, woods. They are the ones that stick around the longest on your skin, and they might end up being overwhelming, even if the fragrance is not that rich. The fragrances you mention have a very strong ambery-woody accords, which are quite sharp and dry.  January 4, 2012 at 2:21pm Reply
