Thursday Free-For-All

Before I forget!

This post is a free-for-all for people to:

a) post links to perfume-related content they posted elsewhere (on or off DW)
b) talk about anything they want to talk about that isn't big enough for a full post
c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"
d) or anything else that comes to mind!

Are you looking strictly for perfume oil blenders, or are you also interested in niche perfume houses in the more conventional alcohol-based style?

http://www.nstperfume.com/perfume-houses-a-to-b/ is a pretty extensive list of conventional perfumers, both mainstream and mass-market lines and niche perfumers.

Scentbase's list that's already been linked includes both some nichey conventional perfumers like Ava Luxe and CB I Hate Perfume and indy perfume-oil blenders like BPAL. In the latter category, a few lines that I've tried myself or heard good things about from friends are Possets, Arcana, Villainess, Alkemia, and Black Baccara (although that last house just closed up shop this month.) Poke around the fragrance category on Etsy and you'll find a lot more small indies.
