Tabac Aurea was named in yesterday’s list of top 10 tobacco/smoky scents on the blog Perfume da Rosa Negra. It’s wonderful to have TA included with classic greats like Caron Tabac Blond as well as popular niche scents like Serge Lutens Chergui, Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque, and Tauer Lonestar Memories. The post has lots of ideas for tabac scents if you like them. Thanks Cris! 🙂
I tested the Wood Violet without plum again yesterday and decided to set that aside for now (don’t like it enough to pursue), but I also tested the new cedary woods scent and will continue with that one.

As of today we’ve switched the formula for the natural shea body cream so that it has a slightly thicker consistency. The feel when you apply it is still the same smooth and easily absorbed cream, but it goes on a little drier. We had originally offered it in lotion bottles but found it…
I’ve been working on two lines of white florals with gardenia and jasmine — the one that has stronger florals on a soft woods base and the one that has softer floral notes on a musk base. The former is a continuation of the work that led to the version “D” tester last time, and…
Just a quick post to update international shipping status. The volcanic dust from Iceland has grounded many flights, so I’ve been holding some packages here until flights resume. I’m continuing to ship to Australia and other countries that are not affected right now, but I have some packages for the UK that I’ve held. They…
That was a really nice list. Congrats on being in the top 10! Tabac Aurea is definitely in my top ten too!
Thanks Tara!
