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.
Anyway, welcome and enjoy yourself here! I'm sure you will.
