Love reading this while wearing Byredo's Reine de nuit. Curious about what fragrances you'll eventually offer, though I've been cycling towards asceticism lately, and just enjoying the fruits of my previous forays into Finding Good Stuff, without adding anything new lately, and finding that also fun.

I have perfect recall of that spinning wheel of newness every week that is starting an innovative business outside of one's field of expertises or experiences. I don't miss it one bit at the moment, currently relishing empty calendar days. Looking forward to keeping reading more from you even if less often!

Perfume company, yay!!! You're kind of responsible for my current perfume hyperfixation, which has opened up a whole world of experience for me in the previously neglected realm of smell, so thank you for that. I hope your more fragrance-focused posts won't all be paywalled from now on (I have the same problem with Scott's blog, where the "less serious" posts are the paywalled ones. Give me weird! Give me smells! Put some of the serious stuff behind the paywall instead!) :)

I didn't know you were also from Toronto-- unfortunately I am also quite familiar with that flavour of Toronto self-effacing-and-aggrandizing silliness
