When I started collecting fragrance as a hobby my main goal was to understand fragrances. What I like, What others like and why, and finally how the scents change the way people feel. I live in the heart of Pennsylvania. I hour away from Philadelphia and 1.5 hours from New York City. I visit each of these cities multiple times a year. I see there is a Fragrance Conference in NYC this fall. I’m not sure if this is a way to learn or if anyone else has some references that you light feel is helpful. I watch all the YouTube videos which help me with much but not the number one took when it comes to picking out fragrances…smell. I am open to any suggestions and I must say I’m loving this group. Thank you all for being so inviting. Hopefully one day I can pass on my knowledge to others.
