Thank You to everyone who has come on the journey for any part of that six years.

We have made friends from around the corner to the farthest reaches of the world. Many of them I have been lucky enough to meet in person. Some of them have become writers here at APJ.

All of us are held together by our love of fragrance and smell.

Fingers crossed we can do this amazingly fun thing for another six years.

  63. What Can I say .. without reading your newsletters that arrive every evening at 10.30pm in my inbox, I could never have expanded on my perfume collection. In fact just this morning i was discussed fresh tuberose flowers at the flower store with a person randomly smelling them ( whether they wanted to hear it or not). Your passion and generosity in giveaways have brought me so much knowledge and in turn you have passed on your love for scent to me and many others across the globe.

    Thank you. I just love it.
