REVIEW CATALOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Blunt, 110% honest reviews from a non-discriminating, open-minded fragrance enthusiast. I smell everything and anything from perfumes to soap to lotion to candles to laundry detergent. If it has a scent I smell it!

I don't consider myself an authority on fragrance. I use this blog to catalog my likes and dislikes and as a tool to gain wisdom and share my new found discovery with others making it accessible and easy to understand.

This blog is for the perfume layman such as myself. You won't find stuffy pretention here.I believe fragrance should be educational as well as entertaining and fun! So welcome, make yourself comfortable, chillax, and enjoy!

I also love to commiserate with other fume lovers. Let's chat! You can contact me @ olfactoryobsessed at gmail dot com.

One last thing! I do not accept monetary compensation for reviews nor am I affiliated with any companies. You may not use or replicate any part of my blog without express permission.
