From The Diary of a Scent Addict…

By Kelley

OK, so how many bottles of perfume would a greedy person own? I am taking a poll (please aim high as I don’t want to think of myself as really greedy!). I am thinking that as long as I own enough to wear within the span of a lifetime, I am not really greedy. I don’t have a signature fragrance because I look at wearing scent like wearing clothes; I don’t want to wear the same shirt

Perfume Review: Alexander McQueen Kingdom

Review by Kelley

Every time I wear Kingdom, I have this image in my head that I just can’t shake. Have you ever had someone say something to you that almost ruined your enjoyment of a fragrance? I remember reading on Basenotes about a guy that was wearing a spicy, clove based scent to the dentist and now he can’t wear it without feeling sick to his stomach. This problem I have is also because

From The Diary of a Scent Addict…

Okay, so here is the scoop. I read about this great deal at the Montale-Paris website based in Switzerland. It is supposed to be so fantastic that they are practically giving the stuff away. Well, maybe not giving it away but it sure is supposed to be great. For example, the 100ml bottle of Aoud Lime is going for roughly $76! The bottle of Blue Amber

Perfume Review: Montale Blue Amber

Review by Kelley

This fragrance really got me thinking. I mean, how many scents do you own that are primarily linear scents? You apply them and they don’t change much if at all. Chandler Burr described Mugler’s Angel as having many faces and said it was like having a conversation with someone that has ups and downs and is constantly changing (not a quote, just from memory). You start off

By Tom

Of course, readers of PST know Kelley from his witty and well thought out posts, but now you will get to know the real Kelley: he’s even brighter, funnier and nicer than you thought! (He even forgave me for shamelessly lifting his questions, how nice it that?

Tell us about your childhood (just get comfy on that sofa…): where did you grow up? Siblings? What did your parents do? What

The Hidden Life of a Fragrance Addict: An Interview with Tom

By Kelley

I realized early on that I wanted to know more about Marina and about Tom after reading their reviews day after day. Oh, I would get snippets of memories and pieces of stories but they weren’t enough. What makes them tick? What do they do when they aren’t writing reviews or answering their many fans’ questions? I have to admit that any time I am thinking of buying something “

Will The Real Colombina Please Stand Up! A brief interview with our fragrant leader.

By Kelley

This interview comes with a giant WARNING! First off, I am not a journalist; in fact, I don’t even pretend to be a writer in any way. I do read a lot though. Secondly, I realize that because this is a perfume blog, this should be fragrance related. After asking many questions that had nothing to do with scent, I snuck in a few at the end. I hope you find this as entertaining and
