you're most welcome!
Take it slow,...portia,<br /><br /><br />you're most welcome! <br /><br />Take it slow, don't worry, there's so much stuff you can't smell everything, but making a list of things to check out is handy. This is what I'm trying to do when reporting stuff. I don't just list everything coming out, just the interesting (for one reason or another) stuff.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-83095982386329028762012-07-11T14:02:44.707+01:002012-07-11T14:02:44.707+01:00Anon,

I inserted a few quotes on my Ambergris article (under Perfume Notes in the right column), since it was so fitting. It also dispels the myth that ambergris is "whale vomit" (don't know how this caught on, I blame it on Emperor of Scent).
