Equestrian 1 ml, 3 ml, and 5 ml sizes have been available on the SSS website for about two weeks. Today, Cafleurebon posted a beautiful review and drawing for a 17 ml bottle, so you can head over if you’d like to join the drawing.
Hope your summer is going well!
Christmas orders are all mailed out and I’m wrapping presents for my own family. I’m also putting together a wholesale order and starting the end-of-year paperwork. We’ve had record-breaking lack of rain in CA, and the hills are still brown instead of their normal December green. The Black Narcissus posted a beautiful review of Winter…
I have several things to mention in this update for the last weekend in April. First, I just weighed out a tiny batch of Forest Walk today and will send out testers. I made a few changes to try to eliminate the seaweed note that Mandy had experienced, and I removed one of the floral…
Mark Behnke at Cafleurebon just posted a review of the new Spiced Citrus Vetiver on Cafleurebon, and they are hosting a drawing for a 17 ml bottle in celebration of the release. You can head on over to enter the drawing. I’m glad Mark liked the final version. Since the earlier version he’d tried, I…
I wanted to check in with a little update. My arm is doing quite a bit better. It’s not up to normal strength, but my flexibility has improved and I’m able to use it for light tasks now. I’d like to get back to some blending this weekend. I’m taking a few orders via email,…

One is plumaria rubra that is likely the type called Celadine, and another is plumaria alba that is made mostly from the type called Singapore. Both are strong and heady, but the rubra is sweeter and more floral. The alba has…
It’s been a busy week again, but I’ve managed to make a few new mods of Encens Tranquille each night and test them the following morning. Last night I increased the leather a bit more (there has always been a soft leather note in it but it wasn’t very perceptible before), and I altered the sandalwood…
How fabulous! I look forward to reading the article and purchasing Equestrian. It is going to be the perfect scent to transition from late summer to fall. Hope you and your turkeys are well. Off to read the Cafleurebon post. Have a nice week, Laurie.
Thanks, Julie! The wild turkeys are still hanging out this summer and doing fine (they are amusing to watch). I’m not ready to think about fall yet, but Equestrian does fit the late summer/fall theme!
