Pffffffffffft and Pique and Body Chemistry, Oh My!
Mary and I were wondering: "Where do Linda Buck (oh! didn't she win the Nobel prize?) and other colleagues in the field stand on the issue of body chemistry and the individuation of scent?" Perhaps she wouldn't be too bored to answer an email. Hm. Think I'll check.
Today's fragrance: Clearing's Wild Summer Rose with jasmine, rose and iris in perfect complement. Just when you think it can't smell any better, it does.

There you go.
You know, I was pondering something last night (peripherally related to this topic). Do people really think that cute emoticons cancel out blatant rudeness when used in online "conversations"? I.e., if I were to write, say, "Your comment bores me to death," then put a cute little :-) at the end of my statement, should you feel less offended than if I didn't?

This fragrance sounds so pretty. Does clearing do any rose/incense fragrances?

I love this guy. Can I have him? He'd be a great muse. Oh, let us know if you get an answer! Duh. Is there any doubt that you would?

L -- I found the email but need to work up the courage. And I will email you the pix. A -- it would sure be worth asking her! M -- you're my pal.
xoxoxoxo to all of you.

M, I knew someone who was her student. She seems pretty easy to approach, have no fear.
As for clearing's fragrance, it sounds just stunning. Rose, jasmine and iris are my favourite notes.

Dear Your Checking Account Hopes Not,
Unfortunately (to my mind) not. But I will point out these messages to her.
signed,
I'm probably in trouble for giving her any publicity at all. But darn it, the scents deserve it.

Dear M,
You are in big trouble. Please insert *cute emoticon* here ><
O: <...or there

And thank you. I'm so pleased you love that scent.

BTW, I hope it was clear that my snarky comment re:emoticons was directed at the recognized perfume genius himself (may he worship at the Guerlain trough all his days)and NOT at any of the charming women here.
Sigh. I would include a red-faced smiley, but it seems so wrong.....
3:13 PM
yeah, we're all pretty charming, heh. xoxoxo

Don't worry Mb, it was perfectly clear. He may well rue the day...

Hey mamiesb, you bore me. I'd tell you so but typing it is too tedious. :-)
I think we got it. Thanks for your support.

Until I discovered your blog (or did you discover mine?) I had no idea there were so many fragrance obsessed out there (meant in a nice way of course after all I'm drawing obsessed so obsessions can be good things). I do love the samples you sent though I haven't (hang my head in shame) rid myself of that gap stuff yet - which is kind of funny considering my sister in law is the perfume buyer for a gift shop chain located in every airport in the world. I think she may be secretly ashamed of me. I sense her sniffing when we meet for lunch.

Charming post. Love the pix. I never do the emoticon thingies, but what the heck:
(~¿~) I'm tired.

Janey ... all of us would like to have lunch with your sister in law -- (and you too, of course, honey)
TLP ... I hope the dentist was gentle. I mean it. I wasn't as sympathetic as I should have been.
