ScentFest ā26 Photo Dump
It was a pleasant, sunsplashed Saturday afternoon with family members at the Mason Center on San Francisco Bay. I ran into Sebastian, and he assured me the event was a smashing success (photo with my wife). The event was slightly too crowded for my aristocratic taste, but it was certainly manageable. It was particularly gratifying to encounter a number of niche houses I hadnāt known or had only heard about, most of them quite small. I was most impressed by Costume National, Nicolai Parfumeur, Lorenzo Pazzaglia, Perfumers Apprentice and Wren Atelier. Zoologist was a distinct disappointment. The Nishane āambassadorā did not acquit himself well, letās just say. But on the whole, it was a profitable experience. I snagged a few frags (below). For FragVille citizens, itās a great time to be alive ā despite the repetitive trash thatās being released every year.
