You can join a drawing for a 17 ml bottle of Jour Ensoleille on Cafleurebon. Steve of The Scented Hound wrote a review with beautiful imagery, appropriate for this May holiday weekend. The draw will be open for a few days, so head on over to leave a comment if you’d like to join. I’d love the bottle to go to a Jour Ensoleille fan. 🙂
Happy holiday weekend!
Someone recently said he thought I had used grape alcohol in the past for edp, but I have always used specially denatured perfumer’s alcohol from Remet in southern California. This type of specially denatured professional perfumer’s alcohol is what is used in nearly all commercial perfumes. For the oils, I use a natural pure fractionated coconut…
I’m so grateful for and happy about the nice reviews coming in for Nostalgie. Tonight a beautifully written review appeared on The Non-Blonde. Thank you so much, Gaia! Glad you liked it! My older niece turns 13 on Wednesday — a big birthday! We’ve had oddly warm days for January and some of the roses…
Today’s new issue of Sniffapalooza Magazine contains an interview that I did with writer Kathy Patterson. Kathy also reviewed Vintage Rose and Champagne de Bois. You need to scroll down the page a little to find the article, but you may want to check out some of the other pieces in this issue too: http://www.sniffapaloozamagazine.com/interviews.html
I’m happy to learn that Pacific Forest received the Top Judges Selection Award and placed top in four of the five judging categories in this year’s TasteTV Artisan Fragrance Awards. Tabac Aurea and Nostalgie also placed well. Each brand can enter three perfumes per year in the contest; Pacific Forest is over 99% natural and is the…
I wanted to post a couple quick pictures of the new bottles even though they won’t be ready for a while yet. This label is a mock-up that I cut by hand so it’s not perfect but gives the idea. I need to be sure that the printer can do the gold foil in this…
I’ve added Lieu de Reves to the fragrance page, but I’ll wait to send a newsletter to announce it until Tabac Aurea is ready and will then send a newsletter about both new scents. I filtered the first batch of Reves and am glad to have the first little batch done. I always start with…
Congratulations on such a lovely review of Jour Ensoillee. I recently bought a bottle after a sampling or two. I really enjoy all of your work that I’ve managed to sample thus far.
Thanks so much, Lari! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed sampling and glad you like Jour E! 🙂
Laurie, I absolutely love Jour Ensoleille…enough to declare it as my signature scent. All of your fragrances are really quite lovely, and I feel very fortunate that they work so well with my body chemistry.
Have a wonderful holiday!!
Thanks so much, CathyB! Glad Jour E works well for you. It’s feeling like summer here, which I am enjoying already!
Oh, what a beautiful tribute Steve wrote to Jour Ensoleille! It was a gorgeous read, and a well-deserved accolade. Jour Ensoleille is one of my favorite scents to wear and I carry it with me so often that is has perfumed my most often used purse, hahaha! Congrats on such a fantastic review!
Thanks so much, Lizzy! It’s been wonderful to hear from Jour E lovers! 🙂
