A New Year’s Note from the Editor: Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose

 

One year ago today if anyone would have told me that we would have tripled our circulation, would be acknowledged with four 2011 FiFi Finalists positions for editorial excellence in our first year  AND receive such love from around the world,  I would have thought they drank too much of Mark's champagne perfume.

What is in store for 2012? As the French say "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose "(the more  it changes the more it is the same thing).

 

Continuing our mission to be a home for artistic perfumery of all genres and pricepoints.

Due to the success of  Behind the Bottle and Profiles in American Perfumery we will continue these popular series.

Look forward to more interviews with your favorite perfumers from around the world

More fabulous draws, reviews, coverage of industry events and articles.

We will miss Sr Editor and Natural Perfume Editor Chaya/ Ida Meister who is pursuing her personal dreams. Ida joined us in April, 2010 and  will always remain a  true friend. To Dear Ida, we say good luck and much success on all your new endeavors.

"You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free"
