New Review of Jour Ensoleille

ByLaurie

Jour Ensoleille is featured today in a beautiful review on the blog EiderdownPress. Thanks so much, Suzanne! It’s very rewarding when my fragrance compositions bring images alive for other people. And as perfume blog readers, we all enjoy sharing the excitement of a new scent discovery. I think you’ll find lots more reviews of interest on Eiderdown Press too. The site has a blog with perfume reviews as well as a store with several books and a selection of perfume decants.

Scent Blending

ByLaurie

Wanted to check in.  I finished a little tweak on Gardenia Musk and got it back on the scent list.  Also just finished a tester blend of Fireside Intense; it has cedar, sandal, birch tar, oak moss, musk, frankincense, myrrh, orris, jasmine, tabac, and leather.  I’m evaluating it and will be sending it out to a few testers. …

More testing

Upcoming new FM rose scent

ByLaurie

Here’s the first review I’ve seen of the new Frederic Malle rose scent called Portrait of a Lady.  It’s by Dominique Ropion and the listed notes are Turkish rose, cassis, raspberry, cinnamon, clove, patchouli, sandalwood, incense, Ambroxan, and white musks.  Sounds interesting! The last rose/patch scent I fell in love with was Francis Kurkdjian’s Lumiere…

Cameo

ByLaurie

I’ve had quite a few requests to put Cameo back on the website, and I’d been meaning to do that after substituting the new labdanum into the formula, so I’ll move that up my priority list and get it done.  I just did a couple quick trials on it last night and wanted to give a heads up…

  1. Oh, that’s a beautiful review, Laurie – and she’s quite right!
    I still treasure my tiny bottle of the old formula, but the new one is equally gorgeous.

  2. Hi Tania,

    Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying Jour Ensoleille! Suzanne’s reviews are beautiful to read — they are poetic and capture the feelings and inspiration behind the fragrances. Her perfume journal blog is a new discovery for me.

  3. Hi Laurie,
    So glad JE is starting to get mentioned again in the blogosphere. Definitely a favorite of mine. I’m hoping it will be regarded as suitable for the spring. I made a tiny sample for a friend last weekend and she practically swooned over the smell!

  4. Hi Ann, thanks! My favorite time for JE is late summer and early fall because of the mossy/woodsy base, but the floral heart is more spring/summer so it probably crosses seasons fairly well. Glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂
