Yes. Thanks.
For fellow fans of Dr. Turin's "Duftnotes":
If you ever only read the 2005-6 articles (the defunct pdf, or on Scribd.com), or
If you enjoyed the 2009-10 articles that were linked to in previous threads by Narcus,
And, like me, never bothered digging through the NZZ Folio website for more,
Then rejoice, for...
A complete archive from 2003-2010 can be read online on this blog.
Whoever created the blog, where ever you are: thank you, thank you, thank you! It's a real treat.

Excellent! Thanks!
This is truly delightful! This will occupy hours of my work-time.
This is wonderful! Thanks for posting the link. I had a link to another website but it was super slow.

Oh that is just wonderful ! Thank you sooo much . I loved Luca Turin's blog.
Mr. Turin- if you read this - I am a great fan !![]()
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Thanks for the link. I've read them all before but I always like reading them again.
Aristotle said the greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor. Luca Turin has mastered metaphor as well as any writer ever has.

Cool! Wouldn't mind a sticky.
Whoa, thank you so much! I've been looking for the full archive!
How does sunshine smell like?
And thank you for sharing this, fellow fan! For more than one reason you have just turned a dull October sky into something enjoyable! I have to also express gratitude to you, "CM", author of the Double Base Notes blog. This job may have cost some of your time, I suppose! I myself had started something similar on the German (printed) version of Scent Notes.
Then, on September 7th, we were extremely pleased to hear directly from the author:
in context post #52, here: NZZ Folio / Luca Turin 2010 – Duftnote / Notes from the Nose

Thanks for finding and posting, a real resource.
This is wonderful, thank you so much. It's getting so late here but I think I have to stay up later than I wanted because I HAVE to start reading the archive!

Thank you arwen_elf, and thank you all for your kind comments. Truth is I've stopped writing about fragrance, though I made an exception with the Little Book which was fun, esp. the marvellous Osmothèque classics. Never say never, but I think I have written myself out on the subject after the Guide[s] and the Duftnotes. I am still happily writing for NZZ but "off topic". Also I am back in full-time science and that takes up a lot of thinking room. And I confess that Tania and I are disheartened by the funereal prospect of re-smelling all the great fragrances that have been destroyed by reformulation. Updating the big guide would be soul-destroying. Maybe if a few hundred great new perfumes appear we'll change our minds.
Here's a link for the text of the 7 month period ( June 2005- Jan 2006 ) of Duffnotes mentioned in the OP. Unlike the link above, this one includes all the reader comments and Turin's responses. The inclusion of which makes the thing "only" 548 pages long ! One can understand why the full run of posts shown above leaves out the comments.
For those who are gluttons for punishment, or simply Turin fans, this link also includes a search function in a toolbar at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to Bon Vivant and the ones who actually linked us with Mrs. Turin's jolly and sharp thoughts, always accurate and straight to the point, original like nobody else. Is also amazing to read his own post here, what can I say? Thanks to all!
