Gaia posted a lovely review of Cocoa Sandalwood today on The Non-Blonde. A number of people have commented to me that they find it to be a more sophisticated gourmand, yummy but not as literally edible as many chocolate scents. That is what I had hoped to create, so it’s good to hear it works that way, at least for some people.
I’m working on all the little things that have needed doing for weeks, as well as taxes. It’s good to start to catch up.
I just put Voile de Violette and Wood Violet back on the scent list. Champagne de Bois and Cameo will be next, hopefully within the next few weeks. I think the Reves take-off may be done; it’s been getting great feedback from most testers. I’m still toying with the other new one, but I will…
The Name Game: I’m still deciding on the incense name. Someone who speaks French let me know that the syntax of Encens Reverie isn’t the best, and I’m not fond of Encens Rêveur or Encens Songeur. Other possible ideas are Encens Absolu (absolute incense, maybe a nicer way to say it than Incense Pure) Fete…
I thought I’d be back to normal sniffing capacity by this weekend, but I’m still stuffy enough to have to put off the blending and evaluating work for now. This cold isn’t very bad but it’s just lingering enough to be annoying, especially since I depend on having a clear nose. I’m really spoiled though…
I just wanted to post a quick note about a new blog written by Jessica at Now Smell This; it’s called Tinsel Creation (she explains the reference), and it combines her interests in perfume, art, literature, beauty, and things vintage. Jessica is an eloquent writer, as you probably know from reading her posts on NST,…
It’s June but still raining, pouring actually, in northern California. By Tuesday it is supposed to clear up and I’m so looking forward to the sun! I’m still having computer issues, and that has been taking way too much time. I went ahead and ordered the new machine (can’t wait!) but it won’t come until…
Updated: My personal email had been down for several hours this evening (starting around 5:30 CA time). My website email was still fine, so all my mail to the info@sonomascentstudio.com email was not affected. As of 10 pm CA time my personal email is back up. All’s well. 🙂
and may I add that I have been wearing it for two nights now with zero complaints from my beloved 🙂 ! (and I have NEVER worn perfume to bed with him!). A small dab on the wrist and I sniff myself into a fantastic slumber… sandalwood is such a grounding oil…love what you have done with it!
ps co-worker out yesterday and got to wear Lieu…so beautiful and a much needed olfactory pick me up as I prepare for the two feet of snow predicted starting tonight into Saturday! Spring cannot get here quick enough 🙂 !!!
Glad you’re enjoying the sandalwood and it’s not bothering your hubby. Good luck with the snow! I can’t wait for spring either.
