Scent-sational!

Portland is not only a sweet place to live, but it's home to one of the most famous perfume houses in the world!  Chris Tsefalas, one of twenty-six certified "noses" on the planet, opened his doors in 1986.  Folks fly in from all over the globe to meet and shop with Chris.  All of this is happening in our fair city and many Portlander's don't even know The Perfume House exists!

Last spring I was ready for something new.  The season was changing and I was utterly bored of my same old scents. I knew it was time to head to Hawthorne for a visit to my favorite smelly spot.

When I walked in I thought I knew exactly what I wanted.  I'd been hankering for some Ylang Ylang.  After sniffing several concoctions which Ylang Ylang was the overwhelming middle note, I realized I wasn't so crazy for the stuff after all.  Reading my frustration the sales woman asked me several specific questions.  With careful contemplation she presented me with  Eugenie Rance.  A scent I'd never heard of or smelled before.

FLOWERY ° FRESH ° WHITE FLOWERS ° AMBER-SCENTED

So ditch the department store and take an olfactory trip you'll never forget. The Perfume House sells online too.  If they carry it you know it's good.  They scoff at synthetics!
