Quotes from industry notables, celebrities and perfume lovers...

"Then there is American Beauty... the word is gorgeousness, a twilight rose. This is richness again, but in a garden — you can smell the thorn."
Chandler Burr

"Then Pamplemousse... this is a different kind of scent. Yet it's masterfully done. It is, in fact, the best grapefruit scent I've ever smelled, and that includes Guerlain's excellent Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune—utterly clear yet unassailable in presence and strength, greater than the raw material alone, pleasant without being facile."
Chandler Burr

"The BEST grapefruit I've ever smelled... I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your grapefruit!"
Chandler Burr

"Mahjoun. Like Hermes stupendous Ambre Narquile, this perfume is unabashed richness. Mahjoun smells like a summer field of golden grain plus honeycomb. You get the velvety beeswax—the raw, impure sucrose."
Chandler Burr, Author, Investigative Journalist, Researcher. Perfume Critic for the New York Times, writer for the New Yorker and O The Oprah Magazine. Author of The Emperor Of Scent, The Perfect Scent and A Separate Creation

"Wonderful creations... " "my favorites to date are the Cafe Noir that I find excellent, very skillful, and perfectly judged. I also love your Gardenia, which strikes the exact right balance between fresh and sultry... If I get half a chance to talk about them, rest assured that I will. Congratulations on the good work... "
Luca Turin, "The Emperor of Scent", Biophysicist and Author of The Secret Of Scent—One of the World's Foremost Perfume Consultants whose clients include Michael Kors & Mark Jacobs

"She has the 8th sense: Dawn Sense." "combining vision, luxury, taste, understatement, poetry, dream... All this in a bottle, no matter which creation.
She is a Perfume Genius!"
Julius Eulberg, Jules & Jane—Industry Consultant, Berlin

"Dawn creates fragrances like an artist creates a painting." "She has a spiritual and creative process that makes working with her a joy... She is the NEXT BIG PERFUMER!"
Cord Coen, ZENTS Inc, Mfg of spas Products

"Chocolate's got nothing on this." " It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get... Each new scent is more mouthwatering than the last."
Beth Janes and Valerie Monroe, Beauty Editors for O The Oprah Magazine, describing the DSH Collection Box
