The Scented Salamander: I just did a review of the 24h access program if you have the time to read it; it is posted on my blog. Do you know if the database is opened to all for the 24 h access program? I hesitated to do a review of it initially because, officially, it is opened to professionals only, including researchers. However, after seeing your post and Robin’s I decided to do a “safe” review of it since perfume blogs’ readers are going to be alerted to it. June 29, 2006 at 3:36pm
BoisdeJasmin: This version of the database is opened to the general public, although it is intended first and foremost for the professional audience.
Adding: there is a consumer database in the works right now. June 29, 2006 at 4:17pm
Thescentedsalamander: I thought it would be pretty logical to think of developing one. June 29, 2006 at 5:02pm
Thescentedsalamander: And thanks for the precision! June 29, 2006 at 5:03pm
BoisdeJasmin: Gaelfin, I agree. It is a fantastic resource in all respects. June 30, 2006 at 2:41am
gaelfin: I enjoyed the FFWInfo trial! This is a database for fragrance retailers, consultants, and beauty editors. Using the Promotional Wizard’s multilevel capacity to research brands (notes, reviews, family, perfumer, year, quotes, etc.) is a joy, and the Library contains an extensive amount of information.

gaelfin: Yes–the only thing I lost was sleep. June 30, 2006 at 2:49am
BoisdeJasmin: Yes, it is quite addictive! June 30, 2006 at 1:45pm
