The formula for the new Spiced Citrus Vetiver is done and I’m batching it. I ran out of one bergamot but will get more Tuesday. I expect to have samples up soon and bottles by the end of the week. I really like how it turned out!
I’ve been trying a few minor adjustments to the last mod of ET to make it a bit less dry, and I have something I like. I’ll need to get a few opinions but this seems to help. I’m also working on BB. I’m working on paperwork too — I really need to finish my…
The formula for Amber Incense is done (yay!), and I am just waiting on delivery of a kilo of one ingredient to be able to make a large batch. I will be making some samples from a smaller batch in the meantime. Many thanks to Drew and Michelyn for a beautiful review on Cafleurebon today. Anyone…

Also, if you signed up for emails of Perfume In Progress posts before Jan 27, 2011 when I changed the blog feed over to my msn…
Since last summer I’ve been phasing out the sweetest gourmand scents, and it’s time to do a more site-wide change. I want to concentrate on fewer scents and make them be my very favorites. I think when you work on scents every day you prefer working with your favorite notes, and I’m finding I want…
I have added all sizes of Amber Incense to the site except for 34 ml. I’ll add 34 ml after another batch is ready. I also have a new batch of Cocoa Sandalwood almost done so I will soon be able to add 34 ml sizes back for Cocoa Sandalwood too. I got some fun…
Maceration! Looking forward to this. So often I draw the line; no more vetiver. I love vetiver and think I have enough. Then along comes….Spiced Citrus Vetiver. Well, what to do Laurie? This one is calling me and the answer is Yes. Great concept and I will be wafting it. Earlier this year I planted the entire back yard in vetiver instead of grass. Its roots are popular in NZ to save our crumbling coastline cliffs.
Hi Jordan,
I’ve read about using vetiver to stabilize the soil! Would love to see pictures sometime. I have a lot of grasses in my garden (mostly Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ and Pennisetum orientale), so maybe I could try a vetiver. I wonder if it can grow here (or if it would take over). Glad Spiced Citrus Vetiver sounds interesting!
yes! the best news to hear on my birthday….full bottle as a present to myself 😀 !!!!!
Happy Birthday, Brie!! 🙂
thanks Laurie :D!!
Oh and I forgot to say that my SOTD was Jour…garnered me TEN compliments including the postal clerk who knows me by name now given the number of packages I mail out-LOL!
Well that makes me feel good about Jour! And I’m on first name basis with the mailman too, not to mention the UPS and FedEx drivers…Most people who read this blog probably know their mail carriers pretty well too, lol.
Yep 🙂 My office moved 10 months ago (not too far though) and today a mailman still broght a package sent to my old address to the new office.
That’s a great advantage to knowing them, lol. Personal service! 🙂
