...When I first discovered Fragrantica I was amazed that such a person even existed! She was (and is) intelligent, verbose (in the best possible way), intriguing, funny and REALLY knew her "stuff"!!When I received a PM from her (telling me she loved MY reviews) I was flabbergasted that such a wonderful person (and parfumista) would think this of little old me! We became fast virtual friends!She sent me my first CREED scents (thank you again, my dear!) and a set of BonBons (Bond No9) for a New Year's gift, the year before last, and even gave me a DVD of "PERFUME: Story of a Murderer" so we might debate it. *sighs*She has consistently stimulated not only my nose, but my brain and I absolutely feel more comfortable at her Salon de Parfum than anywhere else on the entire worldwide web.She made me realize THIS (Parfumo Int'l.) was the "place to be" (as opposed to those "other sites") and kept "on me" until I got my gypsy butt over here! She has been not only a friend to me but a perfume sister and kindred spirit in this life journey.Words (something both of us wield and shape rather well) escape me when I am asked articulate about her and how superbly wonderful she is...It is not very often one finds a beautiful person with a superb brain, wonderful sense of humor, who is a damn good writer, has a scientific background AND well-honed nose! I will always be in awe of Shera Pop and consider myself exceedingly lucky to know her and will treasure our friendship as long as I draw breath!Shera Pop I LOVE YOU!!!
