Jasmine Award Shortlist

Last night's modest party plans were thwarted: Madame Persolaise had eaten all the champagne truffles! I can't exactly complain, as I had bought them for her as a present, but I thought she might have left one for her sumptuously scented spouse.

Never mind. I found a stash of turrón in the fridge...

But you don't want to know about my tempestuous relationship with calories. Let's move on to more important matters.

Thanks to all of you who've left comments and sent emails with good wishes. I genuinely appreciate your support and I still can't quite believe that my efforts have been singled out for such prestigious recognition. As promised, here's the list of the other nominees in the Best Website Feature On Fragrance category of this year's Jasmine Awards. I'd be very interested to find out what you make of them.

The Packaging Is Plain, The Perfume Anything But by Avril Groom (from Financial Times - How To Spend It)

Sketch And Sniff: The New Cross-Sensory Fragrances by Pei-Ru Keh (from Wallpaper)

How To Find Your Perfect Perfume Partner by Tara Gardner (from InStyle.co.uk)

What's Your Perfume Personality by Yanar Alkayat (from All About You)

Pink Really Does Stink by Judith Brockless (from Basenotes)

and of course

Bottled By Baccarat: The Final Event At Harrods Perfume Diaries by your very own Persolaise (from Basenotes)

Hope you're all having a great weekend,

Persolaise.
