    I'm going! Yes I am!*doing the victory dance* . Sadly, only for Saturday but I'm looking forward to seeing DSH that day though I'm missing all the discounts on Sunday :(Oh well. I'm planning to go to the Caron store on Sunday so I might survive Sunday after all.

  • Patty says:

    I'm going for the whole weekend!  The part I look forward to most is meeting like-minded people, not to mention acquaintances made at past events.  And I like to hear the reps of the different houses talking about their new fragrances.

  • Jake says:

    I'm attending Saturday! My second year! Well I have to say I'm most looking forward to reuniting with some friends I made last year, and meeting some new ones of course, not to mention the ever fabulous breakfast at Bergdorfs!

  • taffynfontana says:

    I will be there only in spirit, everyone attending enjoy it all, take lots of pictures and sniff away at your hearts content. 

  • Claudia Kroyer says:

    I wish i could attend, but work is keeping me from doing so, but i am looking forward to hearing from everybody that went how much fun they had and what they discovered. 🙂

  • Cynthia says:

     I'm going for the first time! So excited. I am looking forward to everything, but I'm thrilled I registered in time for the breakfast, so I guess I'm really looking forward alot to that. 

  • David Ecker says:

    I am looking forward to this wonderful event and I am excited about Maitre Parfumeur Et Gauntier's new offerings. I will be attending the full weekend event and the breakfast. The breakfast is very important as I always need to be up to date with Bergdorf's fragrances.

  • Todd T says:

    When I planned my trip to NYC. I had hope it would fall on Sniffapalooza. Missed it by a month. I will be making plans for the fall one. Just sounds like a brill time!

  • Warum says:

    Wow, there is so many perfume meetings I am not attending this year —  but this one makes me feel most sad.  I am on the other end of the country, but one day I'll be able to do it!
    Is there a constancy in Sniffapalooza dates? Like, last weekend in April or something like that?

  • Penny says:

    So excited!!…attending for the first time!!  Will be there for the entire weekend, including the famed breakfast @ Bergdorf's.  Most looking forward to spending the weekend with folks that don't think I'm a freak for loving perfume and having a stash of empty vials in my purse "just in case."…:-)

    I'm a longtime Sniffa attendee.  These events are so glamorous, exciting and informative.  It's so much fun hanging with fellow perfumistas.  I meet the nicest people, the most interesting people.  It's overwhelming and fascinating.  and I must say, Timbuktu is an all time favorite of mine.  it's a fragrance style I love and this particular perfume actually lingers overnight – I mean a full day and night – 24 hours.  It's sexy, soft, delicious.  And CaFleurebon is such a fun site to keep me informed!
