Here’s the latest roll-out of the serial tabulation of public impressions of Perry’s complex, magnificent fragrance (#4 in the series).  For the previous installment, click here.  Note the change in perceptions over time.  I thought that the fragrance changed significantly over the couple of days that Perry was in flower (though she/he was only in top condition for about 12 hours), and that’s reflected in the comments.

As usual, exact spellings and grammar from the sniffers are preserved. Redactions are imposed at the will of the editor, so as to avoid identifying individual humans.  Some of the editorial decisions are also designed to discourage further inappropriate behavior on the part of the more boorish sniffers.

Click here for a current view of Perry.  Perry is in leaf right now, but will probably soon begin to go dormant, at which time we will have an interesting project – handling the inevitable crash of the giant leaf.
