She’s still sleepy

Sunday

Emma was right. The-scent-formerly-named-Zurich is begging to be unleashed, as a pure perfume. Not an eau de toilette, not a cologne, not an eau de parfum.

A perfume.

A full on, hot, raunchy, Saturday-night-racetrack-Sunday-morning-church-pew perfume

I took the top off of her today, waking her after a month-long nap.

She yawned, extended her arms in a full stretch of cedar, then sank back down on a pillow of vanilla.

She needs an umph.

A kick.

She needs more. So I will give her more – thirty percent more.

Maybe this will tempt her out of her slumber.

And she will be called Dear.

I’ll explain. I promise.

Why I haven’t posted in a while

As some of y’all know, I landed a new job. Soon after that, I had to deal with some absolute foolishness courtesy of a crazy neighbor. This took up a lot of time I would normally use for my blends.

Needless to say, I was thrown for a loop, but everything seems to have calmed down.

Hopefully.

I still need to tell you about “Zurich” and other discoveries.

More soon.

Time oh give me time…and my first review

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

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!
