Monica of Perfume Pharmer and Skye Botanicals posted a
lovely review of Voile de Violette tonight and is hosting a drawing for some SSS prizes, so go visit if you’d like a chance to win. Thanks Monica! Just in time for the spring fever we all feel this time of year.
Also, bottles of Voile de Violette will be back on the SSS website next weekend. Yay! 🙂
We finally have beautiful weather here (though more rain is due to start Tuesday), so I want to take advantage of the sunshine and go to a nearby nursery to get plants to replace some that died last winter. I didn’t have a chance to plant anything in the garden last spring or summer other…
Mark Behnke wrote a very nice review of Incense Pure and a description of his experience as he tested the main iterations of the scent for me over the months that I worked on it. Thanks so much Mark, both for the review and for hanging in with me through a long testing process. I…
I just got my delivery of kilos from France with mimosa absolute, more labdanum, and a new low atranol oakmoss. Some kilos are hard to open, at least with my lousy wrists, so my kind Dad is in charge of opening evil kilo containers; I need to have him stop by to help with these….
You can enter a drawing for ten samples from Indie Scents today on the PerfumeSmellinthings blog; three winners will each receive ten samples. The blog also has quick sniff reviews of seven perfumes sold at Indie Scents, and SSS Rose Musc got a nice little mention. The topic for the day on their blog is…
I have sent out some testers of Fig Tree and will send some more. Notes include fig, plum, cassis, galbanum resin, fir absolute, East Indiana sandalwood EO, vetiver, tonka, lactones. It is greener and fruitier than anything I’ve done so it’s been fun to formulate. It’s unisex and I think it should work in lotion…
I released Forest Walk a few days ago and sent out a newsletter announcing it. Bottles and samples are available now on the site. Order volume has been very heavy, but we’re keeping up. Turn-around is still just a day or two. I appreciate all the interest in this new scent and hope people like…
What a very interesting and original review! I loved it.
I hope you’re having a good weekend.

Very original review, yes — pairing poetry and visual art with scent!
Hectic weekend for me. Hope yours was good!
I love VdV! It’s so fresh and wonderful. I can’t wait for spring to really arrive so I can wear it. I love those little wood violets and it always makes me sad people treat them like weeds. I know they can take over, but what a thing to take over! I have total spring fever this year. Great review!
Hi Ann, thanks for stopping by! I start to feel spring fever about this time of year too. I have a little patch of violets that struggle for some reason so they’re not weedy here. Agree, could do worse for weeds, lol!
