So, it finally happened. 💖 I honestly never thought I’d reach the top echelon of this community let alone as a woman in a group that’s almost entirely made up of men. As someone mentioned in another post, “First Female General” does have a nice ring to it… so I’ll happily take it, 5555🤣🤣 When i first joined, my main reason was simply to get full access to the visual guide to fragrance houses. I had no idea how much more I’d gain beyond that. Over time, what started as curiosity turned into friendships, fun experiences, and so much learning. Like any real family, we may not always agree and i’m sorry if i may come a bit too frank sometimes. But at the end of the day, we’re all here because of the same passion: our love of fragrance. When I last checked yesterday, I still needed almost 3,000 points, and I thought reaching Level 9 would take at least a couple more months. But then came the overwhelming love and support from this amazing community. You all truly made it possible faster than I ever imagined. A heartfelt thank you to @Lon Chaneyfield @Justice Kiabe @Michael LoCascio Sr @Renato Carotti @Raymond Reeves @Gunny Khan @Andrew G. @Julio Gutierrez @Scott Ripley for your constant encouragement, guidance and support. To @Antonio O. Centeno @Antonio Cent without whom this community wouldn’t be possible. To Mike Payne, who’s no longer with us but whose lessons continue to inspire me. (If anyone still has contact with him, please send him my gratitude. I’d love to try his perfume in person one day. And if he ever launches a YouTube channel, I’ll be the first subscriber! 😊) And to @Fernando Mendoza @Nestor Lopez @James Milson @Raul Olveda @Juan Rodriguez @Jeffrey Plotka @Brian McGuire thank you for giving me that final push when I needed it most. Logging in and seeing three separate posts celebrating me reaching Level 9 completely overwhelmed me in the best way. You all made this milestone truly special. 🥰🥰

Going with one of my favorite releases this year. An absolute banger. Multiple compliments already today!
