Amber Incense and Fig Tree were just reviewed by John David McCoy on YouTube. I really appreciate the coverage there, and the reviews are lovely. He was thoughtful to take time to learn about my background and inspiration. His background is also in the sciences, in physics. He is reviewing a number of artisan lines on YouTube; you might enjoy checking out his channel!

I will finally filter the first batch of Equestrian tomorrow and will put samples on the site later this week. I’ll aim to put bottles up next week. I’m also working on a new floral scent with soft, pretty white florals (jasmine, magnolia, lily of the valley) backed by light greens, amber, and musk. Sonoma…
