I will put the buy buttons for samples (1 ml and 3 ml) back up within a day or two (I am shooting for the evening of Nov 6 but it could be Nov 7). I will put the buy buttons for bottle sizes back up next week. I’m busy batching things and trying to finish the new formula for the natural forest scent (the formula is done but needs to be scaled up). Once I open I won’t be able to work on it, so I’m trying to get it done now. Almost there!
My Dad was in line at the PO for me recently to mail some international sample packages, and the guy ahead of him tried to mail a live snake! A python, no less. Makes mailing perfume look tame, lol. 🙂 Luckily for the poor snake, they did not let him mail it. I’m taking a…
We are introducing Velvet Rose, a lush rose fragrance with Damask rose and soft supporting notes of fresh bergamot, violet leaf, subtle carnation, woodsy musk, and a whisper of patchouli. It’s available in edp, parfum oil, and lotion. Unlike Cameo and Rose Musk, Velvet Rose is a soliflore that comes across like a fresh picked rose.
Incense Pure received a nice mention today in Victoria’s Bois de Jasmin blog. Thanks Victoria! The post is about suggestions for reasonably priced perfume finds. I wanted to mention that I plan to put Velvet Rose and Vintage Rose into the Exclusives rotation for a while before Valentine’s Day since roses are traditional favorites this…
Here’s a photo from yesterday’s experiment with my improvised light box; it shows three half oz bottles with parfum caps. Photographing bottles is another little skill I need to learn about to improve the website. The lighting is much better with the box and that helps the glass look better. Even using white paper though,…
On Sunday I took a couple hours off work to make my annual pilgrimage to Russian River Roses to sniff the field of Kazanlak perfume roses and to choose a new rose bush to bring home. The owner told me that they imported the original Kazanlak bush from Bulgaria and she has propagated a whole field…
The last case of half oz bottles (17 ml) that I purchased has a bigger problem with slightly leaning necks than usual; the necks on some of the bottles must lean just a little off vertical, even though it is hard to notice by naked eye, because the sprayers do not sit quite vertical when…
What will the new Forest scent smell like? Will it be similar to the Forest Walk? I loved Forest Walk, but didn’t end up buying a larger than sample size because it did not last on my skin very long like most of the others I love that you make. Thanks.
Hi Linda,
Forest Walk lasts well for me, but we are all different so it’s hard for me to predict. For me, the new natural scent stays a bit closer to the skin and may not last quite as long, but it could be the opposite for you since Forest Walk didn’t last for you the way it does for me. Some of the notes are the same (sandal, cedar, fir, labdanum) but I’ve used some new naturals I have now that I did not have when I created Forest Walk, so it’s different. It has some pine, whereas Forest Walk does not (even though it may smell like it does). I tried to keep a similar forest aroma and put that forest smell on a natural amber base. I like how it turned out! It may be worth sampling for you, but I’d start with a sample.
When it’s available, I will do that. I know, unfortunately the newer Amber one didn’t last on me near like the Ambre Noir.
