Our own Brie has written a special post for Cafleurebon creating tea and perfume pairings with SSS scents. She has sent me a lovely set of samples of these teas, and I’ll package those with carded scent samples and send the package out to the winner of the drawing. You can go to Cafleurebon to enter.
This was a really creative and thoughtful thing to do, and I am quite touched. Thank you, Brie! 🙂
Wow, we had a high well over 90 today and a hot breeze this afternoon and evening. That’s a bad combination for fire danger. We’re just getting going on the hot season. Even though it was hot I needed to work on some ambery scents today. Diluted the new myrrh resin and it is more…
We’ve had a busy month here at SSS, but orders slowed today now that Christmas is almost here. I have just taken the shopping cart down tonight so that I can finish my own gifts, spend time with family for the holidays, and clean up the lab for some cabinet/shelving repair that is scheduled for January…
In collaboration with Cafleurebon blog I am announcing a new scent today, a floral called Yin & Ylang. Michelyn Camen, Editor In Chief of Cafleurebon, had contacted me with the idea for this scent about a year ago, and I’m happy that it is now done! The notes are bergamot, blood orange, soft aldehydes, beeswax…
I’ve had several requests to wait until Monday/Tuesday to put the cart up because people will be away for the long holiday weekend and that may make more sense, especially since I won’t have the first batch of Jour Ensoleille done before Saturday. I also just realized that I won’t be able to begin shipping…
Many thanks to Ida for her beautifully written review of the new SSS Equestrian on Fragrantica! I loved reading her memories of barns and horses, as well as her experience with the scent.
There’s a beautiful review of Jour Ensoleillé today on Parfümieren. Thank you, Olenska! Your writing has drawn me in and I must explore your blog more. I’m so glad to have discovered it! I’m also happy that Jour Ensoleillé has been receiving some reviews lately.
my pleasure 🙂
Happy New Year to you and all SSS fans!
Thanks, Brie! Wishing you and your family a happy new year too!
Go Brie! Thank you for the fantastic post and the inspired pairings! And thank you for introducing me to SSS. Looking forward to reading and smelling more in the new year!
Thanks! This post will inspire me to get back into the tea drinking habit! I love tea, especially green tea and rooibus.
My thought exactly! I used to drink tea all the time, and then I switched to the higher octane stuff (coffee).
Time to get back 🙂
Happy New Year to you!
One of my Christmas presents was a Chemex coffee maker (my Keurig died a premature death, so I wanted a non-electronic replacement). I’ll be getting back to both tea and coffee!
I just checked out your blog and it looks great!
