I took a break from Ambre Noir to work on Cameo and may be done with it; I tried a tweak I’ve had in mind for weeks and really like it. I changed the rose accord a bit and replaced one musk with another one, and together the changes make it feel more subtle and elegant to me. It has a soft woods/musk/rose/violet drydown that I like. I’ll try it a few more times, but it’s probably ready to send out a few testers.
I have been testing small batches of Amber Incense as I scale up the formula, making twice as much each time. I think I will put samples on the site within a few days. I’ll post again here when I put them up. It’s always hard to let a new one go and call it done….
Just a quick post to say there’s a nice review of Incense Pure on Now Smell This today. Thanks, Robin! People seem in agreement that IP is an outdoorsy incense, and I’m glad that IP can add another option to that category. There’s no pine or fir in it, but a number of people have…
There’s a lovely review of To Dream on Olfactoria’s Travels today — thank you Birgit! I love how she writes, “This is a perfume of a woman who has seen it all, she knows that life is more than roses and violets, but she still sees and appreciates their beauty, and is able to let…
I had a few things go wrong today that slowed me down, so the cart will be delayed a day or two, but will be up this weekend. I’m switching the bottle labels over to a new system that will save a lot of time once it is done, and it’ll be a few more…
My webhost had some problems last night but seems to be fine this morning. I’ve not had any problems like this in the past. I’ll try to find out if any more downtime is expected, but all seems well at the moment. I’m sorry for the inconvenience last night.
My edp boxes shipped today, so that’s exciting. I sure hope they look good, but I’ll have to wait in suspense until later next week to see them. I’m anxious to see how the colors turned out. I’m still covered in dabs of various scents throughout the day to test the things I’m working on. …
So glad to hear of your progress, Laurie. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this one and look forward to trying it out when it becomes available!

Hi AnnYM! Glad Cameo sounds interesting to you! I need to wear it again, but so far I’m really happy with the latest tweak. I like the soft rose/violet floral notes on the sandalwood musk base. Went back to Ambre Noir today, which is probably done too, but will test Cameo again tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!
