Greetings-
Ok, so I’m going to be completely honest. This blog was not my idea.
Everyone I know said, “Neil you have to have a blog.” What I have realized as I continue to meet so many wonderful people on other blogs and community pages is that by having my own blog, I will have a central place for me, and at times my business partner and friend David, to communicate with everyone.
I have to start by saying how grateful we are to EVERYONE who has helped us get to this point. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family, a lifelong group of friends, and an incredibly supportive group of perfume aficionado friends. I know it can be dangerous to single people out, I mean no slight to anyone else, but I do have to thank Karen Dubin and Karen Adams from Sniffapalooza for EVERYTHING they have done for us and for the entire perfume industry, for that matter! Karen Adams is the queen of organization as the operations side of Sniffapalooza’s site and events. Karen Dubin is a master at networking. She not only knows the entire world, she is incredibly generous at introducing people that she knows “have to meet.” Thank you both so very much, you know how much you mean to David and me.
As far as the online community of perfume lovers, I am, and continue to be, blown away by how wonderful everyone has been and the beautiful reviews and comments you have written about my fragrances. For me, the sense of smell is all about connection. I don’t think of myself as creating “perfumes” as much as weaving stories through scent. The fragrances that I create are based on personal memories or musings and nothing makes me happier than to introduce people to my world through the fragrances I create. The fact that so many people have taken the time to write to me or leave a post on a blog about connecting with my fragrances and relating to the stories has been overwhelming. I thank each and every one of you for your love and support.
I’m planning on writing on this blog about once a month for now. So until next month I wish you,
Fragrant Dreams,
Neil

About Me
- Neil
- Neil Morris is one of the leading independent fragrance designers in the United States and the face behind Neil Morris Fragrances. For more than 30 years, he has created custom fragrances for individual clients, private label for companies, and special occasions that are exotic and smoldering with style. His unique process and approach to fragrance design combines exploration, refinement, and inspiration from the top perfumers. Neil discovered his passion for fragrances at a young age, inheriting his acute sense of smell from his mother. As a child walking through the woods with friends, he became intensely aware of the earth’s scent as it shifted from winter to spring. This experience would later propel him to create his rare and exceptional fragrances. Neil uses his imagination, intuition, and expert knowledge of perfumery along with his client’s vision to create their custom fragrances. He translates clients’ happy memories into their bespoke perfume, reflecting the real person. “My clients are their own celebrities and I'm their storyteller and painter - only I do it with scent,” says Neil.

Congratulations on the new blog, Neil! Mazel tov.
I LOVE that you are blogging! MWAH. :)
This will be fun. I hope you enjoy it.
"For me, the sense of smell is all about connection. I don’t think of myself as creating “perfumes” as much as weaving stories through scent"
And that is one of the reasons we all love them. That dash of romance.
As a recent convert to the world of Neil Morris I am happy that we will be hearing from him on a monthly basis. I hope he finds blogging to be a little extra whipped creme on the sundae of his life. :)
