Hi, it's me. The black widow of review writing. Woe be to those who have me writing reviews about them years after patronage. I don't mean to be the spectre of death. But when the customer experience is 2.5 years in the past, sometimes that happens.* That said, flowers, even if not given in life, are worth giving.
So, American Perfumer.
Again, I was looking for local, thoughtful gifts that didn't require a lot of standing, shopping and heavy, close breathing to acquire. Smelling good is always on the menu and an under-reviewed business is always quick to get my 'hidden gem/first to review' juices flowing. AP has (had?) a well-appointed, easy-to-navigate site that allows you to sort/shop by brand, perfumers, and elements (concentration, notes, style). This helps to assure that if you can't stand around and sniff a bunch of fragrances (which leads to sales person annoyance, headaches and nose blindness), you can make an educated guess about what your gift recipient (or, yourself) would best like. Genius.
Using the tools set before and my incredible knowledge of alchemy, I conjured up a scent so perfect that when my recipient received the scent, she couldn't stop raving about it. That's how you do it. That's how it's done. I hope this store is still around. Others need the opportunity to show off boss gift buying skills. I'm definitely a fan.
*Google says the business is closed. Facebook says it's open. Who knows. If you have been so moved by my words, give the business a call and try your luck. read more
