I’m having a surgical procedure Friday March 23 and will be away from email Friday and Saturday. I’ll post on the blog to check in soon as I can afterward. Thanks so much for all your good thoughts! This isn’t life-threatening surgery, just uncomfortable with a little needed downtime. Back soon…
I put Winter Woods back on the website. I do have about an ounce left of the original formula and you can email me about that if you were disappointed not to get that before I ran so low. The new formula is quite similar, but I think it is a tad less sweet. The…
The picture above shows tonka beans, orris root, a jar of labdanum absolute, and lavender blossoms. Photo copyright SonomaScentStudio.com. When I made Ambre Noir, I wanted a very dark labdanum-rich amber scent with a little leather and rose and very little vanilla. I also wanted woods, moss, and incense. I like the way it turned out, but…
I’m so sorry, but with filling many Christmas orders and running behind, I’ve decided it would be better to put off the Nostalgie release until January. I’ll shoot for early January right after the holidays so we’ll still have many months of cool weather for wearing Nostalgie. I’ll try to make samples available before the…
Northern California is having a major storm right now. We’ve had a ton of rain in the last 24 hours, about 7 inches in our rain gauge here already and it’s still coming down. The road to my house has some flooding and we might not have mail service for a few days. We can…
I had a couple emails from people who read my last post and became worried that I might change the current Champagne de Bois; I just added a phrase to that sentence in that post to make it read better (I hope!), but I thought I’d also post a quick note here to say I…
It’s been very windy here in CA the last few days. Strangely warm winds, but very strong. Luckily our power held here even though many others unfortunately lost their electricity. I can’t believe it is December, but here it is. I’ll be working on Nostalgie this weekend. I need to get the first batches done…
Just popping in to wish you well, Laurie. Illness/convalescence is no fun, but is nice in the sense that it enables one to get some genuine relaxation and “down time.” Hope your down time is filled with a minimum of discomfort. 🙂
Thanks Robin! It went ok yesterday but I’m still sleeping off all the drugs they gave me. Not feeling up to doing anything yet but will check in again here soon. Just following the postop routine they prescribed and being patient while I heal up a bit.
Dear Laurie,
I was so surprised to read of your recent surgery. I am sending you a ” Get well Soon ” wish 3,000 miles East from New York.
Looking forward to reading more of your perfume creations.
Warmest Scented Regards,
