Ask the Perfumer - Sunday, May 13, 2012

Dear Friends: There will be no Ask the Perfumer forum today, as it is Mother's day in the USA and my mother died just six weeks ago. I will spend the day quietly. I wish all love and good wishes towards those of you who still have your mothers. Here is a photo of my mother taken June, 1966 when she was 46 years old. I couldn't bring myself to write a tribute to her today, as I have been very sad all week. However, if there was a one sentence tribute, it would be that she is the one who introduced me to my first passion, perfume, and that has stayed with me every day of my life.
