Tabac Review on Parfumieren, and Update
You can find a fun and fascinating review of Tabac Aurea on Parfumieren today. I’m honored that Olenska thinks Tabac Aurea would please the goddess Oshun! 🙂 I always learn something interesting about literature, history, and other cultures when visiting her blog. Thanks, Olenska!
Today a summary of the July 8th Fragrance Salon appeared in the Style section of the San Francisco Chronicle. My table (mainly my sign) was one of the three photos accompanying the text. That was fun to see!
I spent all day Saturday cleaning up my work room, which had gotten out of hand. I still need to do a bit more organizing, but it’s much improved. Nothing like a clean work space. I’ve needed to do that for months.
I’m working on the musky unisex sandalwood rose but should get back to finishing the Vintage Rose reformulation. I’m trying to catch some of the Olympics too. 🙂
Olenska’s blog is becoming my favorite – not necessarily for the perfume reviews, but for the always fascinating links of perfume to history and culture.
I love that about it too!
Oh my! Thank you both, most sincerely. My blush can be seen from space. 🙂 Remedy: another spritz of Tabac Aurea…
🙂
And I should have said, “…not JUST for the perfume reviews…”. Great writing either way!
A unisex sandalwood? OOOH! I will have to keep my eye out for that one as you know how I feel about sandalwood 🙂 What type will you be using?
So far it has New Caledonia absolute and some album. I think you might like this one, if you’re ok with a little animalic musky touch. It has some ambrette seed CO2 and an animalic narcissus note.
Wow! I love New Caledonia absolute (so far my favorite along side mysore) and I do like ambrette seed as a natural alternative to musk. Can’t wait to sample this one 🙂
Glad it sounds good! I love the New Caledonia sandalwood too, especially this absolute.
OT here, but I love the new flash on your website, Laurie!
Thanks! I didn’t use flash (don’t know how and have heard it loads slow), so I used some javascript for the slideshow. I thought it’d be fun to work the SSS poster into the home page. I think that’s what you mean? Glad you like it!
I thought it looked familiar!
🙂
PS I really need to post some updates here, but I’ve been getting lots done. Will post more soon.
Hope you had a good trip!
