I’m throwing my hands up in exasperation. I never thought I’d hate any browser more than IE6, but then along came 7. I STILL can’t get the comments to display correctly, and given the number of you that still use Internet Explorer, I will just have to switch to a whole new theme. With shiny, […]

A PR release for a study by the University College London (UCL), via the London Centre of Nanotechnology (LCN), seemingly lends validation to Luca Turin’s controversial vibration theory of smell. (From December, but I only just noticed it, via a ScienceDaily notice.) It’s been interesting to watch the back and forth on smell theory the […]

Seriously.
Make it stop.
If we’re now onto Bon Jovi endorsements, I can only imagine how bad this whole celeb perfume thing is going get. At least he’s saying it’s for charity.
Any guesses as to which celebrity will be the next to put out a fragrance? Or like me, do you just shudder to think?

For those of you who enjoy the holiday, happy Valentine’s Day.
For those of you who are a little more ambivalent about the whole thing, happy February 14th.

I received the following email, and while her description sounds eerily familiar to me, I am utterly unable to figure out why. Perhaps one of you could help Tina track down a beloved fragrance from her past?

Laurent’s reply to me about the review for the lastest round of fragrance mods has now been posted. You can read it by clicking here.

It’s perfect Comme des Garcons 2 Man wearing weather, and I smell right fine while playing with the boys in the snow this evening. Hope the weather is kinder than they say it might be to our lovely […]

UPDATE: Nobi has closed the contest… the earlier hyperlink to the page wih entry information now lists the answers, if you’re curious.
Shioya Nobi, who some of you may remember is the grand emcee behind the Made by Blog project I am participating in, has opened up a contest to ring in 2007 in style. A […]

I am writing this now, in 2006, but scheduled it to post at midnight, so it will no longer be “now” by the time you read this. Hello there, 2007.
It’s interwebby TIME-TRAVEL!
Thus, I bring you greetings from the past… or would that be the future, since I’m scheduling this to post at a time which […]

I’m taking a little time out from perfume stuff to share a recipe today. When digging through the cookbooks to find some holiday baking ideas, I rediscovered this little gem. Its components are artificial, highly processed… and delicious. I’m the sort of dork who serves Cool Whip rather than real whipped cream, too. Fake food […]
