Many of you have been asking me to continue the series 100 Fragrances That Influenced Perfume History. These articles still remain among the most visited ones on Bois de Jasmin for the behind-the-scenes information they offer, stories and the connections between famous fragrances and contemporary launches. Since Bois de Jasmin is going to turn 17 years old next year, I decided to put the series into an e-book, which I will make available to my readers as a gift. Your participation and support mean a lot to me, and I would have been able to maintain Bois de Jasmin over almost two decades without it. It would be my pleasure to share something special with you.
How to receive the e-book
To receive the e-book, please subscribe to my newsletter. When the book will be available, I will send it to you in the pdf format.

Debi: Thanks a lot for sharing. I have been a regular reader and an occasional commentator but I always enjoy your posts. I ticked both the options and updated my profile. Hope that works. August 2, 2021 at 12:41pm
John: I have to say, I scanned the email and came to the page fully expecting to pay for this book and would have been very happy to do so…So thank you for this generous gift! I think that there are other past pieces that could be ordered or expanded (such as you great guide to developing your nose, or a collection of five star reviews), but next time feel free to charge me a little if you feel so inclined… This blog is very valuable to me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates all of the knowledge, passion and care that make it such a pleasure to read. Anyway, thank you again — I look forward to the book! August 2, 2021 at 12:47pm

Have a lovely day!
Sincerely,
Teddy August 2, 2021 at 10:53pm
Ewan: Being tech-deficient I can only assume that I have subscribed correctly – I suppose it adds a little frisson to an action so often a matter of uninspiring simplicity.
Thank you in advance, and in hope August 3, 2021 at 3:28am
Victoria: If you’re using the same email as for commenting, then I don’t see it among my subscribers. Anyway, I just turned off the double opt-in, so all you need to do is to enter your email into the box in my post, and hit “Subscribe.” August 3, 2021 at 5:02am
Ewan: Hi – so I think I’ve done it. Thanks for checking up, apparently I am a subscriber , so I updated the preferences.
I’m sure you’re quite busy so thanks for your time August 3, 2021 at 6:00am
Karensinthegarden: Thank you Victoria! BdJ is such a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration! August 3, 2021 at 7:52am
Julia: Thank you, Victoria! It is very kind of you to share with us, I look forward to reading it. August 4, 2021 at 1:59am
Hilde: Congratulations with the 17 th anniversary of Bois de Jasmin next year.
In 2019 I became to know your blog and since then it has become my ‘encyclopedia’ for research on perfumes. It is a joy to read your articles and to watch your videos.
You have an excellent taste, Victoria, and your advices have already helped me quite a lot in my perfume choices. August 4, 2021 at 3:45am
Kneale: Congratulations on your upcoming Bois de Jasmin anniversary, Victoria! Thank you so much for sharing your evocative and beautiful work with us. Warmest wishes! August 5, 2021 at 9:17am

Victoria: I will notify all of you via the newsletter once the e-book becomes available. There will be a link to download the book. August 5, 2021 at 11:37am
Daisy: Wonderful, wonderful news! Congratulations on 17 years! A virtual glass of champagne for many more! August 5, 2021 at 4:00pm
Marc: Thank you for always being so generous with your content. I’ve enjoyed your blog posts so much. You have sparked my interest in classic perfume and I made my first purchase of Mitsouko last month thanks to you. I’m on my way to collect L’Heurre Bleue, Jicky and Samsara. Have a great day 😀 August 6, 2021 at 1:36am
Tom-Scott Gordon: I bought a 75ml Mitsouko EDP spray around 2012 or so. I think this may be among the interim-formula years. It had the golden box with vertical stripes and a rectangle title block at the top, not like today’s with the gold square in the middle. Vintage ones apparently all had the B&W zig-zag pattern. I want the longest lasting unspoiled extrait. Would I be happy with this newest version at literally less than 1/2 the price? August 8, 2021 at 2:31pm
Ewan: There are scenys of the uture August 9, 2021 at 2:17pm
Nefertari: Oh my god, I missed this, I need it! It’s great to be able to see it done, I always respect these classic fragrances. I would like a copy to be sent to my email, I hope I still come in time. Thank you Victoria, generously and selflessly share the crystallization of your knowledge, belated celebration for Bois de Jasmin.
Your loyal readers look forward to reading.
Precious gift! July 17, 2022 at 5:41am
