Extremely well written, well researched, thoughtful, organised, so many things learned and insights gleaned. The passion for fragrance, history and cultural sociology all shine through brilliantly. Thank you so much for your amazing article!

Brilliant article. The snobbery and the shame in the perfume world are never discussed enough. Also I had NO idea that Elizabeth Taylor made so much from her fragrance license. WOW. No wonder everyone wanted to jump on that train. Thanks so much for such a fun read!

Absolutely phenomenal article. So well-articulated and provides immense insight into how celebrity culture intertwines with the world of perfumery.

Really interesting, liked the addition of dry humour and the insertion of the perfume examples as you went along. I rarely bother reading articles this long, but one can see your passion through the writing, keep it up :)
