Brie posted a touching review today of Jour Ensoleillé on The Fragrant Man. I can’t tell you how much it means to me when people feel a personal connection to one of my scents. It’s so special to be able to connect this way with people in other locations around the world. I’m very lucky and grateful to be able to have this experience. 🙂 Thanks, Brie!
As readers of this blog know, I’ve been working on a white floral scent I’d named Bouquet Blanc months ago. I’d had a link to it on my site until recently, in the “upcoming scents” section. I’ve talked about it a lot here on the blog as I’ve worked on it. Well, I was too…

I can’t believe it is December, but here it is. I’ll be working on Nostalgie this weekend. I need to get the first batches done…
Ambre Noir is getting closer. I put the frankincense and myrrh back in, removed one cedary component, enhanced the sandalwood, and added a touch of castoreum. It’s dark and rich but has the touch of incense back. I need to live with it for a bit and make sure I’m happy with it, but I…
As of today we’ve switched the formula for the natural shea body cream so that it has a slightly thicker consistency. The feel when you apply it is still the same smooth and easily absorbed cream, but it goes on a little drier. We had originally offered it in lotion bottles but found it…
What an amazing comment on your perfume! I can imagine the pride you must have felt after having read this. The ultimate complement. I can’t imagine having this wonderful of an impact on someone’s life—what a thrill! Good for you…
Thanks, Nancy! It makes me very happy to be able to bring pleasure to other people’s lives. It’s a privilege and is the very best thing about making fragrances. 🙂
