    Congratulations everyone and a big thank you to all at CaFleureBon for bringing these gifted people to light. I would have missed out on so much had I not read this blog. I won’t gush but I’m very grateful.

    Wow! so many winners that were profiled on CaFleureBon…bravo, Michelyn and the staff at CaFleureBon for always keeping us informed in such a “scent-sational” way!

    Hi Brie and ringthing
    We are really proud of supporting emerging American perfumers before it was popular
    We congratulate all the winners and Ayala who is an honorary American although she lives in Canada

    Feel envious I wasn’t there to enjoy this event! How wonderful for everyone and Congratulations to all, winners, place-makers and all entrants! Fantastic.

    I love Ineke! She’s one of my faves! Glad she did well. Love her packaging, customer service is top notch and love quite a few of her offerings. I own two bottles and need to somehow get An Evening Edged In Gold, my all time fave from her. I hear that they will be doing a gift set shortly of the Floral Curiosities line, lookin forward to it as I haven’t tried all those yet. I bet the packaging will be lovely! No, I am not affiliated with Ineke, LOL. Just a fan! I am glad Briar Rose is back up for sale on her main site..it would be truly, truly sad if that were discontinued, many like it, me included as I have a bottle. Don’t discontinue that one, please!:)

    I really hope to go to this next year. SF is emerging as another perfume center with some fabulous niche perfumers. Bruno Fazzolari is a new name for me so I’m excited to try those. Thank you CFB, as always keeping us in the know.

    Congratulations to the winners, participants, guests, TasteTV and CaFleureBon especially for recognizing so many of the winners with ‘bio reviews’ in your blog.
