Boast

Delighted to say that I won the 2010 Jasmine Literary Award for writing about perfume (or fragrance, or scent, or as one girlfriend called it -- the relationship didn't last -- "expensive frivolity").  The prize is sponsored by the Fragrance Foundation and was for this piece in The Independent.

Having been captivated by perfumes since my first trip to Grasse when I was 6 or 7, I am absurdly chuffed.
