SmellyBlog has now joined 10 other fabulous perfume blogs (and many others) to collaborate with Coutorture - a web-community that brings together the best of fashion content from blogs and media around the world, all in one site.

SmellyBlog will still receive all the comments made on Coutorture, but if you want to see the full size images – they are here waiting for you!

p.s. I thought the above image was particularly appropriate because I like it, but also because the young lady seems to be pracatically tortured by couture ;)

Well, as promised, my old Quinta Essentia website is now updated!
In fact, it now bears the Ayala Moriel name and logo, an update I didn’t even dream of, but apparently it took exactly 2 minutes to do for my wizard boyfriend. The new colour scheme even looks pretty good with the old one, which is quite surprising, especially when both are using shades of green…

After spending a pretty geeky weekend (sprinkled with healthy doses of beach and jazz), the website now has some marginal yet useful information, such as the prices for each product and the various forms and concentrations each fragrance comes in, as well as ordering, shipping and payment information.

Also, you can get your Fragrance Consultation by answering the questionnaire and emailing it to me (just copy and pasted all the questions, type in your answers and email them to me). It’s a low-tech temporary solution, which in the new website will turn into an easy-to-fill online-form.

p.s. After the excitement of the this weekend, there will be new posts with more reviews and other fragrant thoughts either tonight or tommorrow.

The lovely and laborious Robin from Now Smell This has just updated her Perfume Houses Directory and it now includes Ayala Moriel Parfums!

Besides the name and link to each perfume house's website (which was present at the blog's previous listings), the new directory now has information on each house, such as its history, unique characteristics, main nose(s), famous perfumes (including link to their reviews on Now Smell This) and information of where to purchase online.

Thank you, Robin, for all the hard work that went to this extensive and elaborate directory!
