The Dry Down is now on Substack!
HELLO DRY DOWNERS!
Welcome to The Dry Down’s new home on Substack! In case you are not familiar with Substack, it’s a new newsletter service that allows us to offer subscriptions. We love writing these, and love talking to you about perfume, but in recent months we’ve realized that doing so for free is no longer realistic for either of us. Moving to a subscription model allows us to keep sending these to you, and to do so much more regularly! Subscriptions will be $5/month or $50/year, and subscribers will get a monthly-ish Dry Down email from both of us (sometimes more often and sometimes less often, but generally one long letter a month), plus some extras here and there (such as solo letters, perfume diaries from each of us about what we’re currently wearing or g-chat banter transcripts about our take on current perfume trends), as well as discounts on and early access to future Dry Down events (we also have some news on that coming up soon, by the way - stay tuned!). Our letter archive will also be moving here (any day now) and you will get full access to every Dry Down of the past. In addition, yearly subscribers will get a personalized perfume genie session via email consultation, where we take your ideal smell requests and hear all about your most pungent memories and recommend some scents just for you.
We know $5/month may be prohibitive for some of you, and if so, we completely understand - please feel free to reach out if you can’t afford the subscription but can’t imagine life without as much Dry Down as possible, and we promise we’ll make something work for you. Free or discounted subscriptions are definitely available for those who would not be able to subscribe otherwise. Gift subscriptions are also possible on a case by case - email us if you’re interested in sponsoring some else’s subscription(s) and we’ll talk through setting that up. Otherwise, we’ll still send free letters to everybody here and there, so even if you don’t subscribe, you can look out for those.
Please share this news widely, tell your friends, and go forth into the world smelling great! We can’t wait to share more heart notes with you.
xoxo -- R + H
