Hello lovely perfumistas! I’ve been packing our suitcases and now I’m more or less ready for Esxence -The Scent of Excellence in Milan. I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning and should be in Milan in the late afternoon. My original plan was to be in Milan around mid-day but Alitalia rescheduled my flight, so I’ll miss the first day. Never mind. I’ll still have next 3 full days.
This is my first Esxence and I have no idea what it’s going to be like but it will be awesome for sure. I’m so excited about it all. I don’t know if I can sleep tonight. 😉
I will be taking lots of photos and posting them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Mind you, I don’t normally use Instagram that much, so it will be a challenge.
Wish me luck and stay tuned.
The Perfume Magpie

Magpie is getting ready…
Have a great time Ms Magpie – love the fact that the Magpie book is going as well. Look forward to hearing all about your trip when you return. xox
Thank you Patsi!! I will. How can I leave my magpie notebook! xxx
Woo hoo! Have fun and don’t worry if you feel overwhelmed and don’t try as much as you planned. Just soak it up and enjoy meeting people. Looking forward to the pics!

Thank you, Brenda! I just came back and completely exhausted. It was a great trip though. 😉
I’ll be waiting for your reports! Enjoy the trip!
Thank you, Undina! Got back home a few hours ago. I enjoyed it a lot but so nice to be in my own house!
I loved seeing the photos of you at the show, and I gather you and Val had a blast! Can’t wait to hear/see more on both your blogs.
Meeting Val was really great. I wish we could have had more time though! Oh, by the way, her cookies and brownies were fantastic. I’m sure you know that. 😉
