A very special thanks to my friend, Amelia Chatham, for sending me the book, Paul Poiret and his Rosine Perfumes by Christie Mayer Lefkowith. This volume helped me fill out several articles on my Paul Poiret & Rosine Perfumes website and the photos are incredible.

A very special thanks to my friend Susan Arthur, for sending me past issues of the Perfume Bottle Quarterly so I am always up to date on various perfume and related items. These quarterly issues are only available to members of the International Perfume Bottle Association, they are an absolute treasure trove of information, trivia and beautiful photos! You never know what will be in the next issue. I invite everyone to join the club and expand your collecting horizons, your knowledge, and your network of like-minded friends from around the world.

A very special thanks to my friend, MJ Reader, for sending me the following books to help update my articles and add accurate information: Vintage Perfumes by Jan Moran, Fabulous Fragrances I : A Guide to Prestige Perfumes for Women and Men by Jan Moran, Fabulous Fragrances II : A Guide to Prestige Perfumes for Women and Men by Jan Moran, and for replacing my damaged copy of The Book of Perfumes by John Oakes. These books are integral to all of my perfume websites. They provide fragrance profiles and notes on individual perfumes. A wealth of information.
