A new scent, even beyond my realm of imagination!

A friend recently requested a custom order of something ethereal and fairy-like.  Mushrooms came to her mind.  So, here we are with a mushroom base.  It's really not as "fungusy" as one might think.  It's actually a bit "chocolaty" and very earthy.  This will be interesting to say the least!  Hoping it won't take as long as the Cookoo for Coconut and Clove Cigarette but we'll see.  I've added Red Rasberry along with Ambrette (veggie musk) to the mix so far.  Had to put it down cause I wasn't feeling it.  The earthy-dirt smell is a bit much to handle.  I will pick it back up tomorrow night.

Perserverence has paid off!

My efforts to make a walking Lord Licorice have paid off!   He really likes the custom perfume I made and wants a full size!  Yay!

It's a new week!

Trystan's been sick with the flu so not much more on my mind than that.  Been sick since Saturday, but pulling through like a champ.  The Dr. said definitely the flu so no meds required, which makes me a happy camper! :)  Been trying to organize my work space since it's driving me crazy (don't need any help there).  I really wanted to mention my new line of Men's products.  I am excited about this and hope I can get it all finished soon.  It's called Y-Chromosome (thank you Zaf for the awesome name and logo).  I couldn't have thought of anything better!   Soo, working on that and trying to figure out what men like!!  I am not sure I know any normal men so it's kind of hard for me to know this.  Shave cream or balm? After shave or lotion?  Do they use these things?  If I were a man, what would I use?  This is what it's going to come down to.   Hopefully, it will work out and I won't have to start shaving my face to get it going!  Any volunteers?

I love a good challenge

Ok, so the other day I had an order for my Jagermeister perfume oil.  I was excited as this was my first for the oil.  It shipped a couple weeks ago and I heard nothing.  I thought, I know some just get wrapped up and forget to leave feedback so I decided to contact him and ask him how he liked his order. He said the scent was very nice but he is looking to smell like Lord Licorice from Candyland.  It's been a long time since I played Candyland but I will take his word for it that there is such a character, who am I to say?  So, I told him to watch for a package in the mail with a few different samples in it.  I will make him into that Lord after all and what a happy ending it will be for all.  He was very appreciative and I am excited for this challenge!  I will post the outcome, providing it's a positive one.  Ok, even if it's not.

Blabblog

So here is where I can get it all out?  Finally.  Well, not that you want to hear about it but......I figure getting it out here will help me focus on the important things which are to make irresistibly awesome smelling perfumes.  Pretty sure I will be deleting this later so here goes.  I am working on two new perfumes, one is "Coconut Cream Pie" which will have a much smoother sounding name hopefully soon.  I'm thinking Cookoo for Coconut, yes, cause I'm a little cookoo.   Plus, already have that name for some of my body butters.  This is a difficult scent to obtain and I am so thankful I scouted out the scents for this.  I have always been a coconut fan!  The other one I am working on is called "Clove Cigarette".  It is to bring back some awesome, and not so awesome memories of my past.  Hopefully, it will be done soon.
