Just a quick note to say that I put the drop-down menus for pricing back up so people can browse the prices again. I’ve had requests for the pricing so that people can plot orders. I did not put the Add To Cart buttons back up yet but will do that later this fall.
SSS scents were on two Fall 2014 Top 10 Lists today: Forest Walk is on Robin’s NST list and Champagne de Bois is on Elisa’s Bois de Jasmin list. That was very nice to see this morning! 🙂
Took that first replacement printer back. It was giving strange error messages and having lots of problems. For example, it said “paper jam” when scanning directly to the computer with no paper involved. Seemed to be buggy software (consumer reviews did warn of this happening to some others, but I’d hoped I’d be one of…
Denise Hamilton, columnist for the LA Times, has written a pair of articles about the growing abundance of indie perfume businesses in recent years. One part of the story gives an overview of the topic, and the other part gives a brief profile of five Bay Area indies, including myself. Thanks, Denise, for including me!
With spring in the air here in the USA, Victoria included Voile de Violette in her Top Spring 2013 Picks on the EauMG blog. And with fall imminent in New Zealand, Kelly posted a wonderful review of Ambre Noir on The Blackthorn Orphans. Thanks, both of you!
The new To Dream was reviewed today on Perfume Shrine. Thanks Elena! Glad you liked it! I was interested to read your memories of visiting wineries as a kid and smelling the oak barrels — isn’t it amazing how strong scent memories can be! Going on wine tasting trips in Greece sounds amazing. 🙂
I like to test scents I’m working on first thing in the morning when my nose is fresh and I have yet to start any work for the day. My alarm wakes me up at 6 a.m. and I put on a dab of a new blend and head out to the kitchen to make…
I snuck out for a couple hours today to go to Preston winery, which has been a longtime family favorite because of the beautiful scenery, very nice wines, and wonderful organic gardens on site. Preston sells organic olive oil made from their own crop as well as produce that varies with the season. Today’s bounty…
hello laurie,your perfumes are loved by me and many others.please do not wait too long to put the cart back up.i’m starting to dream about the best of the best perfumes by laurie erickson.when i place my order i will be stocking up with SSS perfumes!(so i’m never without again)
Thanks, Carrie! I sent you a message. 🙂
Mind made up! I can afford to indulge. Winter will see several seasonal smoky SSS signature scents 🙂
🙂
Laurie, I hope you come back from vacation soon. There are two fragrances I’m itching to purchase now that fall approaches (though not particularly fast in California this warm year).
Hi Maria,
I’m working on it! I’ve had good feedback on this mod of the new Amber Incense, so I need to send out more testers and work on scaling the formula up. We’re also batching the main scents (Winter Woods, Incense Pure, Tabac Aurea etc) so we’ll have back-up batches aging. Feel free to send me an email if I can help you out before the cart goes up! I have most things in stock, but not Ambre Noir or Fig Tree right now.
Been muggy here lately, but pretty. Fall snuck up on me again! 🙂
My wife loves scents which conjure fond memories of campfire moments. Fireside Intense should hit the spot. Looking forward to ordering it soon.
Hi! Fireside Intense and Winter Woods would both be possibilities — it might be good to sample them both before deciding. Winter Woods is gentler and sweeter while Fireside Intense is smokier and woodsier. The Intense is a more literal campfire. Hope she enjoys trying them! 🙂
Hi Laurie, I am anxiously waiting for you to put the cart back up so I can make a few purchases! Please don’t wait too much longer, thanks.
Working on it! 🙂
Thanks for posting your plans. I was a little confused in the store, trying to add things to my cart. LOL I’ll keep an eye out. Looking to get some Tabac Aurea, Champagne de Bois and Fig tree along with Cocoa Sandalwood!
Thanks, Danielle! Yes, it’s easy to miss the note I put at the top of the page. I need to figure out how to add a little head’s up down near the price list menu so people aren’t confused (you are not the only one, lol). Hope you enjoy the scents!
