I updated the photos on the site for the new 17 ml bottles. The new 17 ml bottles have more substantial glass, straighter necks, and a prettier overall look. They are nearly the same size and shape as the original 17 ml bottles. Here are a couple photos:
And for fun, here’s a photo of my brother’s beagle named Belle; my parents are dog-sitting while my brother and his family are at Lake Tahoe. Belle loves to lay on Mom’s lap for back or belly rubs. 🙂
A beautiful review of Winter Woods was posted today on Chemist In The Bottle. Thanks so much, Lucas! I’m still working my way through the backlog of things that need to be done around here. I finished updating the inventory sheets and am doing some reorganization in the lab. I’m giving my back lots of…
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…
I’ve been thinking about a strategy for selling the small number of remaining old style 34 ml bottles at the old price, and I’d like to work it into a blog drawing since I don’t have enough bottles to accommodate all the orders that would likely come in. I counted and only have 30 empty…
I’ve been testing two new frangipani absolutes and the differences between them are interesting. 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…
Sometimes it is frustrating how much time I spend on things other than scent blending. I have a couple new fragrances I’m working on and it goes much more slowly with so many other things that need doing. On the bright side, I just finished the art file for the new edp boxes and should…
Turn-around time is a little longer than usual this week because of the incoming stream of holiday orders. Normally turn-around is just a day or two, but right now it is averaging 2-3 days before your order ships out. Still not bad, but I wanted to mention this so you don’t panic if you don’t…

Invisible difference of new 17 ml bottles. … the dog is SWEET! 😉 Belle is a belle. convey to tickle and caress for Belle 😉
Hi Roza! Yes, It’s hard to tell a difference in the bottles unless you see them side by side or hold them in your hand. Isn’t Belle a cutie! 🙂
These bottles look different from the splash bottles I had ordered a while back. I like thicker glass myself and some substance to hold in one’s hand while spraying “) !!
I love the thicker glass too. They do feel good in the hand. I don’t have splash caps for these yet so I’m still using the older bottles for splash cap orders, but I hope to find splash caps that fit these new ones too.
