An Award on Perfume Shrine's Lap

Christmas came early in the form of winning the Bronze Award in the Fragrantica Best Perfume Blogs Awards.

The aim was to provide a database of perfume blogs in multiple languages and is quite noble in itself. I urge you to check them all out!
We are among excellent company (Congratulations to all the other winners!*) and I thank everyone who voted for Perfume Shrine: Your loyal support and enthusiastic feedback is the very best part of running the Perfume Shrine project!

There will be a scheduled post tomorrow (uploaded from a distance...) with a little surprise tale for you!

*The other winners were Now Smell This(Gold), 1000 Fragrances and Bois de Jasmin(Silver) Perfume Smellin' Things, Perfume Posse & Perfume Critic (Bronze)

Fragrantica Perfume Blog Awards

It came to my attention purely by chance that Perfume Shrine has been nominated for the Fragrantica Best Fragrance Blogs Awards! (thanks to Maryel, who is obviously a satisfied lurker, for submitting us). Fragrantica is a big database for fragrances, houses and shopping info related to perfume and the goal of this exercise is "to collect all valuable blogs as our collective bookmarks[...]and also a good chance to get to know less popular but valuable blogs and promote them". (quote via Fragrantica site)

You can vote for Perfume Shrine till Monday, December 22nd, if you wish, following the Fragrantica Awards link. You have to register first (it's free!)
