I am getting ready for vacation, and running behind (my usual mantra). I had meant to have perfume reviews written up in advance to cover all of next week while I'm away, but as usual, I'm not even done with this week's. So, posting will be sporadic until I return next Saturday, but I'll do my best to keep up with the perfume news and will post when I can.

Meanwhile, comments have been restored, but so, unfortunately, has the dreaded verification string. Apologies, and I'll get rid of it again as soon as I can. One note: when you post a new comment now, it doesn't display until you reload the page. That is also to be fixed in the near future.
