It's hard to believe that March 22, 2010 we posted for the very first time. We had 132 visitors. As of this post, there have been over 132,000 visitors from 179 countries. It was Mark Behnke, Managing Editor and I posting and Managing Director Didier Cholay, handling the logistics. Shortly thereafter, Natural Fragrance and Sr.Editor Ida Meister became our fourth pillar.
We have had many wonderful Guest Contributors, and our current monthly staff includes: Vanessa Musson, Emmanuelle Varon, Liza Wade, Sergey Borisov, Mary Beth Devine and Claudia Kroyer.
Bertrand Duchaufour and L'Artisan Parfumeur got the Party started
That's just the beginning. Each day, in addition to our regular posts, friends-in-fragrance, fashion and beauty will be wishing us well with a special birthday message and offering fabulous draws. Four perfumers created special fragrances in our honor.
We will hold the grand prize draw on March 22, 2011. Here is how you are automatically entered to win. Check out our archives and choose your favorite article, interview, excerpt or review; leave your choice here or email michelyn@cafleurebon and we will post your name and our readers' choices on our FB page and on Twitter.
