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!).
You can find a fun and fascinating review of Tabac Aurea on Parfumieren today. I’m honored that Olenska thinks Tabac Aurea would please the goddess Oshun! 🙂 I always learn something interesting about literature, history, and other cultures when visiting her blog. Thanks, Olenska! Today a summary of the July 8th Fragrance Salon appeared in…
The new Sonoma Scent Studio natural forest scent, Pacific Forest, is launching with samples available by the end of this week and bottles next week. It has just been beautifully reviewed by Tammy at Cafleurebon and Julie at The Redolent Mermaid. You can enter a drawing for 3 ml samples at Cafleurebon if you leave a comment there…
I just received a notice from Amazon that the back-ordered book Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent by Jean-Claude Ellena has shipped. It’s now in stock if it interests you. I can’t seem to give a link without it putting you into my Amazon account, but it is easy to find on Amazon. Also, Now Smell…
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! My assistant is off on a break until Thursday so I’ve not been able to make samples of Forest Walk yet, but we’ll do it Thursday when she is back. I don’t want to risk making all the samples myself because I don’t want to flare…
Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful day spent with friends and family. Samples and 5 ml sizes have been back on the site for a few weeks, and I just made the larger bottle sizes available as of last night, so we’re up and running again. I still have two new scents…
I apologize for not posting more regularly. Last weekend my brother and his family visited for the holiday weekend. Was fun to spend time with them. My older niece really enjoyed the garden, smelling all the roses and cutting a mixed bouquet. My Dad had built two swings in the oak trees that they played…
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. 🙂
