Time oh give me time…and my first review

June 29th, 2010 § Comments Off § permalink

My schedule is slightly wicked right now, hence the lack of posts. Regularly scheduled programming will return by the weekend.

But until then, I’m absolutely bubbling over about my first review.

It just hit me

Im in bed right now. Im using my iPhone. I was falling asleep when a possible name for the scent I call Zurich hit me. More tomorrow night.

Working with vanilla absolute

Midnight whispers to my vanilla absolute, trying to make her nice and comfy

I burned the midnight oil until very early this morning working on a larger batch of this, which has been temporarily named ‘Zurich’ until I come up with something better.

Curing Zurich

This scent is the one that I’ve gotten the most raves for, and that I personally, absolutely love, so I’m making more. Right now I have it at 10%, which is a light ‘eau de parfum.’ I’m considering bumping up the juice to 15% to make it an actual ‘perfume extract.’

But right now she’s resting on my shelf. Taking a break from a long night into day.

And I’m off to vacuum and mop. I hope I don’t disturb her.

By the way, welcome to blogging Emma!

The postman always rings…

Gerbera

I tried taking a pic for you of this gerbera using my last Polaroid 600 film. It didn’t turn out as I’d hoped, but at least I thought of you.:-)

Once? Twice? Heck, I don’t know. I’m never here when the postman comes with a package for me.

But I’m very, very happy with what he left: mimosa absolute, pink pepper, blue chamomile and seaweed absolute.

This weekend will consist of Art Basel (hopefully) and a perfumery play day!

Seen at Osswald: Kilian

As I was passing by Osswald on Bahnhofstrasse yesterday afternoon, I noticed the shop window a set up for “Kilian”

Sorry for the bad reflection.

Apparently Kilian is a perfumer who is also of royal fashion stock. I was in a rush so I didn’t go in to test. Maybe next week.
