About the journal
Three mornings a week the journal publishes one piece about independent perfume, drawn from the same catalogue as the rest of the site: 7 articles so far, every one of them linking back to the houses and the notes it talks about. It is published by Undernotes; nothing in it is sponsored, and no link is an affiliate link.
