Where the hell have I been? After months of job- and apartment-searching, I’m thrilled to finally have an answer for you. Zelda and I moved into our new apartment in Chinatown, New York on Tuesday. It’s just a ten minute walk from my new job at Osswald Parfumerie, which I begin today!
Since I pretty much live in Perfume Mecca now (my apartment is within ten minutes walking distance of the second-largest Sephora in Manhattan, MiN New York, a Le Labo boutique, <em>the</em> Atelier Cologne boutique, and a Duane Reade that carries THE ENTIRE DEMETER RANGE), this seems like the perfect time to resume daily perfume blogging! Thank you so much for your patience during these past few months, and welcome back!
