I’m very busy filling orders but I’m keeping turn-around to 2-3 days so far, which is pretty good. People should start to receive packages soon. It’s nice to see the website without those red messages near the tops of the fragrance and samples pages. 🙂
No time for blending right now but I’ll get back to it. I have a sample of the new DelRae Mythique on the way and really look forward to trying it (sounds very pretty!).
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 added the boxed, carded sample set option to the Gifts page of the website over the weekend, but I still need to add the gift box option for wrapping any sets you want of 2-3 items (perfume, body lotion, body cream). I’m in the midst of taking photos for the boxed gift set options and…
Today I’ve had about 20 emails from people claiming to own boutiques in Russia, Ukraine, and various other foreign countries, and they all want free samples. The emails are not slowing down and I can’t take time to reply. Clearly, as a one-woman business I can’t afford the time or materials to send free samples…
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
Here’s the first review I’ve seen of the new Frederic Malle rose scent called Portrait of a Lady. It’s by Dominique Ropion and the listed notes are Turkish rose, cassis, raspberry, cinnamon, clove, patchouli, sandalwood, incense, Ambroxan, and white musks. Sounds interesting! The last rose/patch scent I fell in love with was Francis Kurkdjian’s Lumiere…
Finished my taxes (yay!) and prepared a newsletter and finished the first little batch of Tabac so that I could photograph the first bottle. I need to finish the next, bigger, batch now and I’m on track to add Tabac to the site probably Wed or Thurs this week. The first little batch came out great. …
Hi Laurie,
Hope you like it. IMHO, Mythique is gorgeous with a capital “G”! Funny – the big sillage lover that I am, I don’t get much when I hold the wrist up to my nose, but I’m constantly aware of the “aura” it casts around me. Really lovely and classical in style. I don’t seem to get the leather that everyone talks about, though.
Hi Ann,
Mythique sounds really pretty and I love the notes in it, so I expect to like that one! I’ve heard other people also say that it doesn’t have a lot of sillage, but if it comes and goes as you move around that sounds perfect to me (I usually adjust application dose of scents to try to achieve that subtle presence anyway). Thanks for the input — now I’m looking forward to the sample even more. 🙂
