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! 🙂
Mark Behnke of Cafleurebon wrote a beautiful review of Nostalgie, posted this evening. Thanks so much, Mark! Love your writing and the great vintage photos! I agree about the softer aldehydes and animalics making it more approachable, or at least that was my hope.
I just tried to put up the product menus/prices with the payments turned off, and that won’t work anymore; that arrangement used to generate an error message but the cart now tells people the order went through even though it didn’t since no payment was collected. I’m afraid that would confuse people, so I’ll have…
I have sent out some testers of Fig Tree and will send some more. Notes include fig, plum, cassis, galbanum resin, fir absolute, East Indiana sandalwood EO, vetiver, tonka, lactones. It is greener and fruitier than anything I’ve done so it’s been fun to formulate. It’s unisex and I think it should work in lotion…
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.
Here’s a fun site with interesting info on natural perfumery ingredients and their chemical constituents. This link has been given a few times before on various boards, but if you’ve not caught it before you might enjoy a peek. http://bojensen.net/EssentialOilsEng/EssentialOils.htm
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!
