Fragrance Belles-Lettres Magazine

   The month of May has been a combination of thrills and challenges for me.
I was ill for a week. So, I wanted this issue to be published for Mother's Day but that did not happen. So, I apologize for the delay and I thank you very much for your patience with me. That was the challenge. The thrills are... my husband graduated with a doctorate degree and I spent a week with my family in Disney world in Orlando, Florida. These two events were fun and my I am quite proud for my husband, however it was overwhelming and handling two young children on a plane was truly the "thrill", if you know what I mean.

  However, I want to thank two people who made it possible for me to produce an issue for the month of May and that is Mr. Simon Brooke, Managing Director at Grossmith-London and Ms. Sophie Reeve at Grossmith-London who sent out a beautiful media kit to me and three exquisite perfume samples.

  Even though this issue is delayed by a week, it is still dedicated to the wonderful and hardworking mothers everywhere who go above and beyond. I am proud to be a mother and I truly understand the thrills when they come and I embrace the challenges when they come too. The House of Grossmith is truly a company that I feel is a 'family company' that lost ownership for a time and then the great-great grandson discovers a family treasure that was lost but now found.

Mr. Brooke, embraced the challenge of getting back what was once a family owned company and the thrill is that three of the finest fragrances from the House of Grossmith has been relaunched for all of us to embrace.
