We'll share some of his photos soon, too. We hope to make it to an NYC sniffa next year and are keeping our fingers crossed that the LA event will become an annual tradition. I'm enjoying catching up on your blog!

She saved the day!<BR/><BR/>If you read my follow up post on POL:<BR/>http://perfumeoflife.org/index.php?showtopic=14830<BR/><BR/>You will find, shockingly so, all I bought was a t-shirt!! It was so crowded in Apothia and I had just been there not too long ago. At SMN I sniffed a few I had tried before but felt non-commital even at 20% off. I'm sure I will regret that later at some point. Tomorrow I might do a re-cap of the sniffings.<BR/><BR/>Hope your ankle is better today!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11585983811176712944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239908.post-1171227458669759242007-02-11T12:57:00.000-08:002007-02-11T12:57:00.000-08:00Hi IrisLA, it was so nice to meet you!

What a wonderful review of the day's events...Vic!!! What a wonderful review of the day's events. And your pics of the speakers are awesome. :))) <BR/><BR/>My friend and I had an awesome time also. It was fun to be around other people who love perfume as much as we do. <BR/><BR/>And yes, Vic I agree about the newest perfume Sky by Gendarme! It's great and I was immediately taken it by after I got home last night. It's on my to buy list when it first becomes available. I can't wait to read your review on it. <BR/><BR/>All the speakers were wonderful and I learned alot from them. Interestingly, some of them had no formal perfume schooling and just had a passion for scents. That amazed me. I learned from them to follow your heart no matter what your passion is. I was quietly inspired. <BR/><BR/>I was shocked to learn that I won the gift basket. Thank God Tara was there because if it wasn't for her telling them I was present but just not at that moment they would have drawn another name. Luck was surely on my side yesterday. But... the reason I wasn't present is because after my friend and I shopped at Fred Segal's, we needed some fresh air and decided to take a walk. While walking on Melrose Ave. I twisted my right ankle pretty good in a hole on the sidewalk. So.... my friend and I decided to head over to the restaurant so I could just sit down and relax. While relaxing, we missed the drawing. Seriously, thank God Tara stood up and said I had been there. I am indebted to her. I had no idea I had won until some of the sniffapalooza gang came into the restaurant and asked if I was Dawn and then informed that I had won. I was utterly shocked. I will take a picture of all the items that are in there. I was overwhelmed last night when I had a chance to go through it. Oh my God is all I can say at the moment and that I don't think I'll need perfume for a looong time but on the other hand that Sky is calling my name. ;0 <BR/><BR/>Vic, I hope Team Karen sees your blog. Team Karen... it was great meeting you both and Thank you very much for hosting an LA Sniffapalooza. I look forward to doing another Sniffapalooza in the future... wherever it may be. :) <BR/><BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239908.post-1171208669702160182007-02-11T07:44:00.000-08:002007-02-11T07:44:00.000-08:00It was so fantastic.
