Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, peaceful 2018! My brother and his family will be here for a few days starting New Year’s Eve. I’m working on end-of-year paperwork and lab cleanup. Will be back soon with more posts.

Bottle labels
ByLaurie
I was deciding what label format to use given the size options I have, but I think I’ve figured out a good solution. I took down a couple photos I’d posted. Now I just need to adjust all the label files! Thanks for input from those who caught the post.
Champagne de Bois and aldehydes
ByLaurie
I had been using a different labdanum absolute in Champagne de Bois than in my other scents and need to switch that formula over to the newer labdanum. While I’m at it, I’m making some other adjustments to the formula and have been working on that today. I thought I should decrease one of the aldehydes…

Winter Woods
ByLaurie
There’s a beautiful, poetic review of Winter Woods here: http://ismellthereforeiam.blogspot.com/2008/10/sonoma-scent-studio-winter-woods-review.html I wasn’t sure when I named this fragrance if I should choose autumn or winter for the name because either could fit. I went with winter because autumn gourmands make me think of spiced apple scents, and this isn’t a mulling spice type of gourmand. One interesting tidbit…
Happy Holidays!

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday. I posted this picture last year but thought it was cute and wanted to share it again this year (it’s a Christmas card we received last year from some relatives in Sweden). Hope you have a great time with family and have a chance to visit and reconnect after…

May 2018 be kind to all of us and may it bring many good things to everyone
Lovely wish, Lucas! The start of a new year always feels hopeful. 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful 2018!
Peace to you too! Enjoy your family’s visit!! Family is so important!!
I’m planning on a full bottle of Bee’s Bliss when you open again! Smells wonderful even in our 14-degree temperature ❣
Thanks, Cathy! Brrr, 14 degrees is cold! Glad you’re enjoying the Bee’s Bliss! Happy New Year!
Laurie, dear, I always think of you with great fondness. I know that 2017 was a challenge, to put it euphemistically (!) so I do hope that the new year brings challenges of a more positive and manageable variety. All the very best in 2018!!
Thanks so much, Robin! Yes, CA could have done without the fires in 2017! I was lucky to have it turn out well for us, but I’m sure hoping we have less fire activity in 2018. Hoping 2018 is a good one for you too!
Happy New Year, Laurie! Even though I passed out at 6pm I was smelling good in Champagne du Bois 🙂 Looking forward to new releases from you in 2018.

Happy New Year Laurie! I hope it is full of furry friends and beautiful blossoms! Cheers!
Thanks so much, Julie! Sounds good to me! I might actually have an exciting development on the furry friend list later this year. 🙂
Happy New Year Laurie! Wishing you all the best in the new year!
Thanks so much, Charlotte! Hope your 2018 is a great one too!
Belated Happy New Year, Laurie. May it be definitely better than 2017!
Thanks, Undina! Wishing you a happy 2018 too!
