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.
New bottle update: I’m going ahead with the gold foil labels even though they are a little more involved to produce. They do look nice. As shown in the photo, I’m making the border a tad narrower than the previous picture I posted a week ago. I have the first small test batch of labels…
I just discovered the home page on my website is down because thousands of sites hosted by my webhost were hit by a hacker attack; the home pages were taken down but they are backed up and will be online again shortly. For now, you can still reach the rest of my site, just not…
I’m having a surgical procedure Friday March 23 and will be away from email Friday and Saturday. I’ll post on the blog to check in soon as I can afterward. Thanks so much for all your good thoughts! This isn’t life-threatening surgery, just uncomfortable with a little needed downtime. Back soon…
I think Champagne de Bois is done, but I’m still working on Ambre Noir and Sienna Musk. My motivation for changing Ambre Noir was to decrease one of the stronger woodsy/leathery notes in it and smooth it out a bit, making the base a little less labdanum dominant. I’m also trying a little more of…
We’re working down the 34 ml bottle list and sending out the link to people as we go. If you think I missed you feel free to holler, but I’ll be sure to take care of everyone before we’re done. There’s a nice review of Champagne de Bois today on the blog Muse in Wooden…
Wanted to say happy 4th! Hope your day is filled with family, friends, sunshine, and a fragrant pleasure or two. 🙂
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 🙂 !!!
