Gardenia in the heat
ByLaurie
It’s been over 100 F three days in a row, and today’s peak was 106 F on my outdoor porch thermometer. We always have a few of these heat waves each summer.

I noticed a few IFRA-related things in the news recently that I thought might be of interest. Hermes is releasing a perfume by Jean-Claude Ellena called Santal Massoia. The notes sound delicious, a milky blend of sandalwood and massoia, which is a lactonic coconut scented oil produced from the bark of the massoia tree. The…
