My family and I have packed the car to the rafters and will slowly trundle (as I said the car is quite heavily loaded) to Italy today.
It is going to be primarily a vacation of relaxing on the beach but – of course – some fragrant explorations have to take place as well.
In the beautiful city of Bologna, I will take a very close look at the Antica Profumeria Sacro Cuore , the Profumeria Naldi as well as Acque &Saponi and will report back, photos and all, once I return.
In the spirit of really getting away from it all for a week, posts will be a bit sparse, but there are a few scheduled, and the lovely Tara will host next weeks Monday Question again!
Have a wonderful time, I will miss you!
Hugs and Kisses! B

Oh lots of lovely pasta. I hope you have an amazing time on holiday.
Can’t wait for the reports on your Italian sniffing expeditions! You’ll be missed in the meantime x
Enjoy Italy, Birgit! Already miss you! (hugs)
Wishing you and yours a wonderful vacation, Birgit. Will look forward to seeing your photos!
Only one language on these homepages: Italian and nothing else.
Oh, that sounds lovely! Have a marvellous time.
Have a wonderful vacation! Eat, drink, and sniff lots of lovely things for us!
Have a fantastic time! Can’t wait for your posts on Antica Profumeria Sacro Cuore, the Profumeria Naldi, and Acque & Saponi! To be honest, I’m a bit jealous! 😉
How wonderful for you and your family! I’m more of a lurker than a commenter but truly enjoy your beautifully written reviews. I hope you have a marvelous time and will be anxiously awaiting the perfume report from Bologna as I will be going there at the end of September for an Italian course and am planning little visits to perfume shops (of course, 🙂 ). Safe travels!
Buona vacanza! Have fun and just enjoy the beauty of Italy and its people. Ciao bella!
Enjoy your vacation! Come back with a lot of great impressions – perfume-related and not.
Have fun in Italy.
Acqua&Sapone sometimes carries (vintage) treasures bought from perfumeries that have gone belly up. You might find something great for cheap. Good luck!
No such luck this time, it was lovely anyway.
Sacro Cuore was the best!
Thank you for your good wishes, you lovely people!
Bologna was great, off to the seaside tomorrow! xoxo
