We are Ana and dana, two fragrance-interested people dedicated to the advancement of fragrance and perfumery through transparent journalism, organic community building, and sustainable practices.

We’ve been working on this site for over 18 months, with the aid of collaborators, hired help, and a lot of volunteers; it was, indeed, a group effort. As such, we are not looking for profit—even if we don’t recover all time and money investments, we see PD as our legacy to the community at large. We’re happy with that.
