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. 🙂
On Friday I did a few more trials on Tabac Aurea and will test again tomorrow against my current favorite to see if one of the trials beats the current lead contender. I tried adding a very light touch of one woodsy leathery ingredient that adds a deep note to the base, and I tried…
The barn near my home that I’ve mentioned before just had a new batch of baby goats, and they are so cute! They bounce all around and jump on things even when they are just one week old. Thought I’d share a few pics because they can’t help but make you smile.
I’ve had a bigger than anticipated influx of orders for Tabac Aurea, so it’ll take me longer to catch up than I had originally thought, but I’m still getting orders turned around within 4-5 days, with many going out in 2-3 days. I think things will get back to normal after a week or two,…

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.
