   Thanks for posting this Robin. You are quite the perfume fairy! Not the fairy that JK rowling would imagine, but the one that the writer AS Byatt would.

   This website has become a staple of my morning rituals. Keep up the good work.

   For some trivia, AS Byatt is the half-sister of Margaret Atwood (so I've heard). If you are curious about the “fairies” Byatt conjures, you could try “The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye.” Does for literature what perfume does for the senses.

   Really — I adore Margaret Atwood, and have read almost everything she's done. Will have to add ASB to my list then, thanks! But the list is already more than I'll manage in my lifetime
