Hi, I am known on the web as SorceressOfTheDark, Sorceress here. I am a blogger, writing about psychopaths, fashion, make-up and perfume, and photography. I live in the US, in Pennsylvania. I am now semi-retired.
I live with my two dogs-a Sheprador and a mini-sheepdog and two cats-an All American and a blue Himalayan. They are all rescues.
My love for perfumes began when my Mother introduced me at the age of seven to Shalimar and I first inhaled the fumes from that beautiful bottle. It is still my signature scent. When other teens were wearing Dana's Love's Baby Soft I began wearing Tabu, just to be different, but also because I loved the scent. I began to seek out more perfumes, knowing there was more to the world of fragrance than what television and commercial ads in "Seventeen" were throwing at me. I would talk to this wonderful woman at this old-fashioned drugstore in my city who specialized in cosmetics, and she taught me about fragrances. I believe it is because of her I have a love of perfumes, but also, a better understanding.
I have worked in the Fragrance industry as a sales associate in department stores for a number of years, later going on to own my own business.
I scour flea markets, auctions, etc., looking for any types of fragrances now at a good price, just to sample them. I find them at unbelievable prices. It always stuns me to find what others no longer want and are willing to part with for a song.
I have traveled around the US, lived in a few states and am now land-locked as they say, living in Pennsylvania. I grew up on the coast of Jersey, just outside of Manhattan. How I miss the City, and shore!
My hobbies? Reading, writing, perfumes, photography, rescue, activism and writing. They've never really changed over the years.
