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! 🙂
I thought I should check in and say hi. I’ve been getting a lot done but nothing interesting enough to write about. I atill have many things to accomplish before summer ends. I always drag my heels as fall approaches. This week I’ll make a few testers of the Vintage Rose reformulation and the unisex…
Thank you, Natalie, for your reviews of Nostalgie, Jour EnsoleillĂ©, and Cocoa Sandalwood on Another Perfume Blog! Your analogy made me smile because sometimes it does feel like the little engine that could around here, lol, just trying to slowly and consistently make progress up the mountain. We probably all feel that way though, making…
I thought it was time to mention the other new scent in the pipeline besides Lieu de Reves: I’ve been working on a unisex woodsy amber scent with a tabac note that I’ve named Tabac Aurea. I’ve been migrating towards a golden amber woods with it, and it’s just starting to settle into something I’m…
I’m waiting for more feedback on the testers I sent out, but so far reactions to the classic inspired scent are quite good. A few months ago I mentioned a new amber scent I was working on, and that seems ready for the first round of testing too. I’m trying to keep the progress going…
Happy holidays! Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend with friends and family. My brother and his family will be up to visit with us next weekend for New Year’s. This last week my assistant and I batched Winter Woods and Fireside Intense while listening to Christmas music, which seemed appropriate. 🙂 Now that holiday…
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…
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!
