Late night vanilla

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!

    Thanks gorgeous :) I am loving being able to write each day and look forward to sharing more.( haven’t ironed out the linking process yet but will soon) Your perfumery is taking interesting turns and I cant wait to see more developments. Don’t be shy about the strengths either. The richness of a 40% is a joy I cant express in words and has to be experienced to be believed.
    Cheers

    @Karen: Yep. That’s my handwriting.:-) I have to switch when I go home because folks think my ones are sevens.:-)

    @Emma: 40% is sooo at the top of the scale, but I may try it. I’ll probably pour off a bit of the 10% and add to that so I can compare.
