I am very happy to announce that Marlen, who has already joined me for a number of "She Says/He Says" perfume reviews, will now be writing a regular column on men's fragrances for Now Smell This. Marlen works as a university professor in Osaka, Japan, and is also a moderator on the basenotes forum and a self-described "perfumaholic".
Look for Marlen's first review tomorrow: Nina Ricci Signoricci.
Great news! I love your She Says/He Says feature, and Marlen's reviews are always a pleasure to read. It is going to be wonderful to see more of his writing on your blog.
I look forward to Marlen's reviews on fragrances. Afterall, we cannot neglect our men and I do so enjoy your She Says/He Says posts. Nice addition to your blog R.
I'm looking forward to not only sharing my ideas about fragrance, but also hearing the thoughts of readers. Glad to be on board!
Welcome, Marlen! I've enjoyed your “He Said” reviews and your Basenotes posts and look forward to reading more of your reviews. (I think we *almost* did a swap a while back and had a nice e-mail correspondence, right before your move to Japan.)
Thanks V!
Thanks F!
Hi Marlen! Will have you added to the “about” section in an hour or two.
Hi Marlen! I am happy about being able to read more of your reviews here.
BTW, I still have one of the sunscreens you sent me a couple of years ago. There is hardly much in the bottle, however it is such an integral part of my dressing table that I cannot seem to throw it away.
That's delightful new, I've been hoping to read more of Marlen's reviews!
Thanks Qwendy!
Hello, Marlen. I'm a single mom with teenage and young adult sons who wouldn't dream of leaving the house without fragance. They often ask for recommendations and it will be delightful to have a source of information to offer them.
Hi S! I'll be happy to help! Feel free to shoot those questions in my direction!
How exciting! Welcome Marlen, I look forward to reading your reviews.
What a pleasure to read more of Marlen's reviews; not only is he one of the wittiest and thoughtful writers, he is one of the the kindest.
