Happy Holidays!

ByLaurie

Wishing everyone reading a wonderful holiday and all the best in 2009! Hope you have a great time with family this long holiday weekend.

I’ll be testing the new Reves this weekend, which seems about done, and the new woods scent, which is getting close too. And I need to wear Coco and No. 22 because they are holiday traditions.

Hope you have some fun scented holiday pleasures (we have gingerbread and almond cookies scenting the air here). I don’t have a tree this year, but will visit with family tomorrow and enjoy the sight and scent of their fresh green douglas fir tree.

Best wishes for a very special and joyous holiday however you celebrate!

Amouage Ubar

ByLaurie

Wow, I’m testing a sample of the newly released Ubar and this is quite a fragrance. I love the strong and lasting rose heart note in it, grounded by a base that offers soft woods, ambery warmth, animalic depth, and creamy lactonic notes with a smidge of vanilla. I even like the prominent lily of…

Lift and Bloom

ByLaurie

I recently received a promotional mailing from Firmenich discussing products of theirs that they feel are good for adding lift or “bloom” to fragrances.  They listed products in the usual categories you’d consider for lift, like damascones, aldehydes, hedione, some powerhouse green and/or ozonic chems, some woodsy and ambery chems, and various musks.  Of couse naturals can also provide lift,…
