I’ll have a real update tomorrow; just wanted to briefly check in. It’s pouring tonight! We’ve been having rain for days, and tonight it’s really heavy. The kids had their May day parade on Saturday despite drizzle and they had fun.
I’m working on gardenia tonight and may have one version ready to test.
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…
Happy Fall! The photo above is a red abutilon flower on my porch backlit by the afternoon sun. I love the light this time of year. I wanted to give a little update about SSS and what’s been going on in my life. SSS Site: If anyone noticed that the SSS site was down for…
The month of February 2009 is the 5th anniversary of the Sonoma Scent Studio website. I’ve focused on building a fragrance line of woods, florals, incense, musks, and woodsy gourmands. I still have lots of work to do but have made good progress on the website and packaging over the years. I greatly appreciate the support the fragrance community…
Angela’s column today on NST resonated with me because no one else in my family or local circle of friends is much interested in fragrance (though they are supportive), and here in my area perfume is more often feared than appreciated. People become interested in the ingredients and process once they get over the initial…
The floors in the cottage have their new finish, and the lab now has a new coat of paint in the same color as my bedroom (a soft gray green that I have loved). My furniture has been out in the garage for a week, and I’ve been staying at my parents’ house. Tomorrow everything…
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…
Laurie,
I would love to be one of the first to test Gardenia Musk!

Hi Beth,
By the time I went to sleep last night I decided on a couple more things to try on the gardenia formula. I hope to get to that this evening. Spent the morning doing orders and the afternoon working with the bookkeeper, but we’ve almost caught up on the books now and it wasn’t too bad. Back to gardenia tonight!
