Kawamura Ganjavian, memory and smell
Somehow I missed this scenter when DesignMilk posted it. But now I've found it!
I love the visual language it has, and the fact thet they acknowledge the powerful effect of smell on memories ( As Wikipedia puts it, "Odor information is easily stored in long-term memory and has strong connections to emotional memory. This is possibly due to the olfactory system's close anatomical ties to the limbic system and hippocampus, areas of the brain that have long been known to be involved in emotion and place memory, respectively").
Kawamura Ganjavian's portfolio is full of promises...

And now, go out and smell the air... it's Spring! (I couldn't wait any longer to say that!)

Kenzo Ryoko
They are not really new, but this pebble-like mini-perfumes (designed by Karim Rashid) are rather cute.

Sweet Anthem
I got a 6 perfume subscription from Sweet Anthem. I just received my last package and I am over the moon. A perfume I wouldn't have chosen myself (Vicky) is actually really special (at least on me) and it's really affordable!
Meredith is a pleasure to deal with and she'll even make a personalized scent for you.
Lovely and vegan!

Perfumes: the Guide
If you have ever, ever walked into a department store and sprayed yourselves senseless; if you have been left associating that book you bought with the smelly tester paper you used to mark the page, if you have ever been given a perfume for Christmas... Read this. It's witty and rather fascinating (and it is grossly entertaining to share. What did you say you use? Oh, they only give a star to that -a tonic for your inner bitch-).
It basically reviews most perfumes ever made (even obscure brands) with stars (one for poor, five for brilliant).
And well, I just have to say it. After reading this, it's official I have a pretty good nose (something had to compensate my lack or rythm and coordination).
