In reality, I'm not always that comfortable.

A top ten roundup could be fun - though I just started the blog in October, and the nine months of sniffing before then is a little fuzzy in my memory. (Though my Perfumed Court emails would be a half-decent record of what I sniffed. :))Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-52332412462261786322010-01-02T13:46:54.242-08:002010-01-02T13:46:54.242-08:00Since this theme is all about organization, I am g...Since this theme is all about organization, I am going to pose the query... what is a year end without a top 10 roundup? I'd love to know what your highnotes (and possibly lownotes) of scents where for the year that was.Cynthia Salbatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665940480380735372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-39110227213195708502010-01-02T11:32:19.366-08:002010-01-02T11:32:19.366-08:00Yep, a fair percentage of my impulse buys were in ...Yep, a fair percentage of my impulse buys were in my first few months of perfume freakery, too, and I've already expressed my Fear Of Mailing Perfume, so swaps are a problem.<br /><br />I've already given away the less expensive ones, and the ones I hate. But somehow it's hard to get rid of something medium expensive that's Perfectly Nice that I just don't wear.

Am trying to job the unloved bottles off on MUA, but that is a very slow process.
