    Can’t wait to go…on Sunday, April 25 there is a lecture in the afternoon, and so I’m planning to attend. I’ve been to Longwood Gardens many times (even performed in their outdoor theatre with the dancing waters curtain!), but this exhibit should be fantastic. Any other NST’ers going to attend? Maybe we could sniff together?

      I am planning to attend the 5/13 lecture by Roman Kaiser of Givaudan. Not sure about the Stamelman lecture on 4/25, but please do email me if you decide to go…even if I can’t do the lecture, would love to meet for coffee or something?

      Must say it looks good to see perfume exhibited in this way indeed!

    Great video. Robin, are you excited that the scent is LOTV, or afraid that it will be another Glade?

    I’ve to to make sure I’m back east sometime before November. I may be coming in July.

      Have only tried it quickly so far, but it’s not Glade at all!

        Oh, so you already have a bit! Cool!

          A sample. But did not get to see the real bottle. I’ve only done 1 quick try so far so shouldn’t even say (you know how that goes) but I was impressed. It’s not edgy or unusual, but you wouldn’t expect it to be — just a really pretty, well-done spring floral.
