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!
We’re almost done with the major website update and I hope it will debut next week. We’ve been working on it for a few months so I’m very excited to be nearing completion. It’s looking great! Maybe I’ll share a screenshot soon. The formula for Amber Incense is done and I just need to make…

I’m working on mods for two scents that are both close to being done; one is the chocolate gourmand that I’ve mentioned before, and one is the floral that I worked on last summer with orange blossom, mimosa, and jasmine. I’m very close to posting a link to the webpage for the gourmand. Sadly, I gave…

Each month they will mail three samples to subscribers, and Fig Tree is in this month’s debut box. The other two scents for this month are L’Artisan’s Voleur de Roses and…
I’m very busy filling orders but I’m keeping turn-around to 2-3 days so far, which is pretty good. People should start to receive packages soon. It’s nice to see the website without those red messages near the tops of the fragrance and samples pages. 🙂 No time for blending right now but I’ll get back…
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! 🙂
