I just saw a drawing posted today on the blog coolcookstyle for samples of teas and SSS Cocoa Sandalwood courtesy of baconbiscuit and Brie. You might go enter, and if you are a cook, you might enjoy poking around the coolcookstyle blog for inspiring ideas.
I’m hoping to put samples back up on the site Friday/Sat and bottles after that.
I have a lot of news to cover today. The good news is that some boutiques are interested in selling my line and I’m starting to wholesale. The first places are not local, but I’ll look for something local as well because people often ask where they can go in this area to sniff my…
Incense Pure is now available on the site in samples and bottles. I’ll send out a newsletter soon. I’m working on Bouquet Blanc and a couple other projects as I can fit them in. We’ve had some pretty spring weather but it will be back to rain again tomorrow and this week. I did get…
Nathan has posted the next letters in the series with Mandy Aftel on the Nathan Branch Blog. Mandy and I did an ingredient sample swap, and we describe our reactions to sniffing various new ingredients. It was really interesting for me to have the chance to smell real civet, ambergris, and musk! It’s been very…
I’m still working to catch up and am making progress. I had to take time out yesterday all morning for an eye exam appointment to get new glasses for working on the computer. I haven’t had glasses for years but they do help eye fatigue so I’ve been meaning to get this done. I made…
The Post Office and FedEx are closed today, so I’m packing orders to ship tomorrow. I’m making some testers too. I’m trying Cameo again and really like it but worry whether this version will be too soft for some people; the previous version was stronger, so I’m thinking about a compromise between the two. Edited…
The studio will be taken over today by a team of contractors to replace some closet doors and open up the bathroom wall to remove a piece of wood that’s catching on the pocket door, scraping it up and making it hard to slide. I’ll have the scents of plaster and paint for a couple…
Daisy’s blog is fantastic, isn’t it? It has surely inspired me to be more creative in the kitchen 🙂 !!
Hooray to your opening the “store” again! I am desperately wanting a full bottle of Spicy Citrus Vetiver 🙂 !!!
Hope you are feeling better!
Thanks for the shout-out! Brie did a great job, didn’t she? What a wonderful idea too!
Hope that this message finds you well and that your back is better!
Thanks again, you two! I’m probably starting by putting samples up before bottles to ease back in.I may wait a little longer on the bottles. The vetiver won’t go up for a little longer.
I think there’s a lot of cross-over between people who enjoy cooking and scent (and tea)!
It’s genuinely our pleasure! The post has been quite a hit and I look forward to seeing how this new direction evolves in the future. Food, wine, scent all seem inter-related. I am coming from the wine world, so I see a lot of cross-over in vocabulary too.
Thank you for making such inspiring perfumes, Laurie! My SOTD is Cocoa Sandalwood. I smell delicious 🙂
Laurie- it is always an honor and pleasure to write about one of your creations. And Daisy was so patient and helpful with me as my techno skills are nonexistent-LOL!!! Nonetheless, it was such a fun and worthwhile experience!
And I am excited to see what direction “coolcookstyle” takes in the future- I like the idea of wine reviews as I know so little about that. And definitely more perfume reviews please 🙂 !!!
