Beauty Bible Loves... The Scented Letter 'Rites of Spring' edition

Free magazine alert!

For the past (coming up for) 10 years, Beauty Bible’s Jo Fairley has been editing The Scented Letter magazine for The Perfume Society – the only perfume magazine in the world, covering perfumers and creators, fragrance trends, new launches and all manner of other scented news.

The magazine has been nominated for over 50 awards and gone on to win many Jasmine Awards and Perfumed Plume Awards, the highest accolades in fragrance writing. In the run-down of Jasmine Awards just announced by The Fragrance Foundation, six more nominations were received, for Jo (two), and talented writers Suzy Nightingale (three) and Scott McGlashan, who wrote for the magazine about how the scent of Soir de Paris helped reawaken his grandmother’s memories.

The latest 60-page issue of the magazine – which is free, if you sign up to The Perfume Society’s mailing list – was just unveiled. In addition, print copies are available, priced £15 (£12.50 if you join The Perfume Society’s V.I.P. Club); click here to buy a print copy.
