  5. I’m sooo happy and excited you chose Shalimar! I had that one pegged as well for the last day. It’s been a blast Portia. All of it. Your Scent Diaries, the Saturday question and the SOTDs, where perfume was often the vehicle to engage in all sorts of silliness and chat up friends. What a great ride. Thank you 😘❤️🧡💛💚💙😘

  7. Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! May your life continue to be filled to capacity with love and adventures. Hope to hear about some of them some way some how down the line. Today, I am wearing one of five that I blind bought from Castle Forbes and love: S’eau Amazing. A powdery floral.

  9. Reapplication of Osiris for work. Liking it a lot😍
    So, your today 28th is my today 27th. I totally forgot the time difference, duh. So we’re gonna be signing off early tomorrow in my corner of the world. Don’t know what my SOTD will be yet. You’re smelling gorgy in your Shalimars. Num num num. I won’t bid you all adieu until tomorrow. Thank you Portia and lots of hugs to you.

    I’ll be wearing Rose & Cuir, my latest purchase.
    Dear Portia, thank you so much for all the joy, honesty and fun you’ve spread all over the globe! I’m so happy to have taken part in it. I wish you all the best for the future and send you and Jin a big hug from Croatia!

  18. Darling congratulations on such a wonderful adventure. I’ve been a bit speechless on this one. I want to thank you for being my Perfume Junkie Mummy all these years and if it wasn’t for you, where would I be? I’m a fully fledged Award Winning Baby Junkie and I have so much to thank you for over this past almost 7 years! Your support and our giggles. Some tough love and some bear poking from me! 😉 I’m sorry some of my posts were a bit tardy in timing! But boy I loved writing them. I actually read them all and all the ones you wrote on our adventures last week and cried (a lot) more than thrice! I’ve downloaded them all and you’ll find them soon on my http://www.scentsmith.com site as I would like to hold onto and cherish these deliciously scented memories until our Thelma and Louise moment! 😉
    I love you and I’m proud of you for what you’ve grown here and for not even killing any of us, your naughtiest contributors.
    Love, sadness and all other confusion emotions at the loss of this glorious site. Good luck with next adventures!!
    From your smelliest BJ.
    *ha ha Ha!!!!! that’s Baby Junkie of course!!
    Love You – Ainslie Walker xxx

  22. Thanks Portia for hosting such a wonderful and informative site, and giving us a chance to encounter a bunch of really nice people from across the globe. I also appreciate the chance to have published my thoughts on fragrance occasionally here, for what they’re worth.

    I have tried to wear fragrances that are special to me all week, in honour of your final week. Just in case I don’t get to post about it tomorrow, for the blog’s last day I’ll be wearing the most special fragrance that I own: some Jicky that is more than 100 years old. I think that might appeal to the Guerlain fan in you.

  23. This morning for yoga I wore a dab of Norma Kamali Incense, but now it has to be Shalimar Cologne, for queen of Shalimar herself!
    Au revoir ( or as autocorrect tried…au devoid!)

  24. Portia, all the happiness to you in the future. If I understand correctly, this website will not disappear and remain active, just not new posts, right?

  25. Thank you Portia for many years of delightful and educational blogs. A few days ago I came across some samples I won years ago on a roses question (I think) so today I wore the Majailis Parfum Rosine you sent and thought how much I’m going to miss you and your insights. I’m not much of a perfumista, only being able to afford mainstream, under $50 (from chemist warehouse) lines these days but I do ADORE perfume so consider myself a perfume junkie. 🙂
    Best wishes to you in all your endeavours and will try to catch you on other blogs. Much love, Carolyn xo

  32. Not much of a drinker but it’s Friday here so I will stop at the deli on the way home and pick up a small bottle of Guinness to celebrate Cassie’s birthday and to toast APJ . Then more Shalimar for 🛏️!!

  33. Hopefully I’ve made it time. I don’t have any Shalimar to join in so picking a little something that was in my first PPP, with a few more decants purchased since, and one that does get plenty of love – FM Musc Ravageur. Included are some enable pins for you all because I think a full bottle purchase is on the horizon. Take care everyone, keep smelling beautiful. Let’s hope we might meet again xx
    Happy Mardi Gras Portia – have the best time xx

    I will stick with Shalimar for the entire weekend.
    I was thinking about all the perfumes that remind me of Portia- Shalimar, no 19, Miss Dior, Niki de Saint Phalle, the Gimme/Pour Un Homme, Truth or Dare, Mitsouku, 4711 Remix…..

    Keep calm and waft on, all you beautiful folks!!
