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. š
Just a quick update to say I’ll leave the drawing open through Wed night and will do the draw sometime on Thursday. Thanks so much for all the entries and for the fun stories about your favorite bottles!
Happy Valentine’s Day! The shopping cart went back up early this morning. I’m testing the two final variations on ET to decide between them (just a very subtle difference). I may send these to a couple testers to help me decide, but I’ll wear them the next few days first because I usually develop a…
There’s that turkey again, lol (if you’ve followed the blog over the last year or two you’ve seen him before). This wild turkey was walking along near my garden with a bunch of buddies when I snapped that photo several years ago. I’ll have to get a new picture for next year; maybe I can…
This is a hard post to write.Ā Iām making some major changes in my life this year, and I wrote this post to explain my plans as well as a little about the reasons behind them. I apologize that this news will come as a surprise, but this seems like the only way to handle things….
My interview on Olfactif has just been posted. Tara Swords, the woman behind Olfactif, does a very nice job with these perfumer interviews. She is an experienced author/journalist and it shows. The blog Sense of Scent recently posted an interesting interview with Tara. She explains her goals with the new Olfactif sample service, her target…
Nothing new at the moment, but I thought I’d give a head’s up that I will host a drawing here on the blog soon to celebrate something. š I will post about it, probably early next week. We had 9 inches of rain last weekend! It was a weird storm because the north bay area…
I’m so glad you liked it, Laurie. That makes me feel real happy. š
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.
