Congrats to Furriner, who won the bottle of Tauer Perfumes Orange Star in our contest.
The Federal Trade Commission will try to regulate blogging for the first time, requiring writers on the Web to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products.
[...] Violating the rules, which take effect Dec. 1, could bring fines up to $11,000 per violation. Bloggers or advertisers also could face injunctions and be ordered to reimburse consumers for financial losses stemming from inappropriate product reviews.

I’m terribly behind on a number of non-perfume things, so no review and no poll today, sorry! Erin will have a post tomorrow (5 perfumes for: Drama), and next week we’ll have reviews of Comme des Garçons Daphne, Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne and more.
And in other lazy news, I was hoping to start the Prix Eau Faux around now, but have been so busy with other things that I never got started, and now soon we’ll be pushing into the holidays. So…I think we’re going to skip 2009, and start accepting entries for the next round in early January 2010. But in 2008, we started with a contest to name the contest, and I’d like to do something similar this year: start with a contest to come up with a contest logo…
I need mailing details from Rosarita, who won the DKNY Be Delicious Pop Art edition, and from Tiara & Claresparkle, who won the Bath & Body Works contest.
