Perfume Tip

Store perfume in a cool, dark place. One of the worst things you can do to perfume (or any fragrance product) is to let sunlight beat down on it. The more light your scents are exposed to, the quicker they can degrade.

Keeping perfumes in a cupboard or cabinet is an ideal situation. But even if you can't (or won't) go that far, just be sure they aren't stored by a sunny window.

If We Smell It, We'll Tell It

Sniffapalooza Spring Fling!

As Fred Sanford would say (in an admittedly different context) this is the big one, Elizabeth! Team Karen is launching another super event of two-days of sniffing, wooing, drooling, courting, and getting to know other ladies of fragrance. It's not even expensive ($165 for two days!) But here's the rub: you gotta sign up right now! The spring fling is in April, it'll sell out by the end of February! Go to Sniffapalooza

Perfume Gear

Ever wanted to wear more than just perfume? How about a tank top with a perfume slogan? Want to jot down your innermost thoughts or your grocery list on a notepad that proclaims you as a woman of fragrance? Well, wake up and smell the perfume! (available on a coffee mug). We got Austin designer Beth Rountree to help us create some tools for living for ladies of fragrance. Go browse at: Perfume-Reporter Shop

Squidoo Lens on Perfume

Squidoo is an interesting variation on the social networking scene--it's sort of a personal passion/interest/hobby/business page that allows users, for free, to create pages (called "lenses") on the topics of their choice. What's more, a lens can function as a shop, a link collector, or an article bank. Jo Ann LeQuang of Redd Publishing has created a lens there. Check it out at perfumehappy.squidoo.com
