There was a lovely review of Voile de Violette a few days ago on Eiderdown Press. Thanks, Suzanne! The writing on that blog is consistently beautiful and thought provoking. It’s well worth spending some time there. I’ve heard from a number of people lately that they are bringing out VdV. Must be a common craving to get a little hint of spring this time of year. 🙂
The temperature peaked at 110 today on my porch thermometer! We’ll be in this heat wave for a few more days. Robin reviewed EL Jasmine White Moss today on NST and I feel pretty much the same way about it as she does. I mentioned a few days ago that it seemed well done to…
I’m making a couple small (consecutively larger) batches of the new natural Spiced Citrus Vetiver, and as soon as I have enough to offer samples, I will put all the samples back up on the site. I’ll also put bottles of Cocoa Sandalwood up because I know not everyone had a chance to buy that…
Nostalgie! I’ve put purse sprays and bottles of Nostalgie on the site, and samples are available too. I’ll send a newsletter Sunday evening or Monday to announce the release. It will also be carried at Indie Scents. The descriptive page is here. Happy to be done!
Wanted to give my wishes for a great holiday weekend. We aren’t celebrating until Friday when my brother and his family can come up, but I’m looking forward to that. The photo above shows one of my Japanese maples in fall color last year (this year wasn’t as bright for some reason). It should be…
I wanted to check in and give a few updates and links. The picture at left is an armoire that my parents no longer needed, and it fits perfectly in my bedroom. I’ve been organizing the cottage this summer, so the armoire is a welcome addition. (The walls are actually a muted gray-green, but the…
There’s a beautiful, poetic review of Winter Woods here: http://ismellthereforeiam.blogspot.com/2008/10/sonoma-scent-studio-winter-woods-review.html I wasn’t sure when I named this fragrance if I should choose autumn or winter for the name because either could fit. I went with winter because autumn gourmands make me think of spiced apple scents, and this isn’t a mulling spice type of gourmand. One interesting tidbit…
I’m so glad you liked it, Laurie. That makes me feel real happy. 🙂
Sorry to hear that your back is not feeling well. Rest up and get better soon!
Thanks, Suzanne! Will do!
Exquisite review…I will have to revisit this site!
And after receiving my sample of Lieu I am reminded of how much your artistry shines through in the violet category…..I don’t even have to wear it,just sniff it and the doldrums created by this dreary and cold winter dissipate and I am instantly transported into a “springtime” frame of mind :)!
Suzanne’s writing really is a treat!
Very interesting that Suzanne compares it to green water — I have always found there to be something *liquidy* about VdV too, the first moments are almost thirst-quenching!
I like that watery effect too. I hoped it would keep the violet from getting too powdery.
