1. What scent are you wearing today and what made you pick this one?

by Francesca dell'Oro. It's a new arrival and I can't get enough of it.

2. Do you remember the first time you started wearing perfume purposefully? To feel a certain way or to bring back a memory.

I don't remember the exact time. It must have been in my late teens and the reasons were purely snobbish.

3. The fragrance world is experiencing a gourmand boom, what's your opinion on this trend? Any predictions on where we'll be going next?

I enjoy savoury gourmands, especially nutty frags. No marshmallows for me.

4. If you could pick 3 perfumes, for the rest of your life, what would they be at this moment in time?

5. Do you believe in "Signature scents"? Do you think it's truly possible to have one, if you're a part of this community?

Been there, done that. was my SS for a decade. Now I don't want to be associated with one particular scent. I'd rather be known for my olfactory style.

6. Pick one perfume for men and one for women, that you think could be a safe gift option to someone not interested in perfumes (let's say, for Christmas).

Chanel and . Love both!

7. What's your favourite thing about being part of this community? Instead of discussing bad things, let's focus on what's truly great, from your point of view. Favourite creators/reviewers?

Having people who are never tired of talking about perfumes. Ordinary mortals can't do that.
