I love you Ida

Ida (Chaya) is a remarcable lady. I met her through this blog where she comment often. She is a warm loving person, so easy to love, she always know how to use the right words, how to encourage people. It gives her pleasure to make other people happy and let them feel good. There is something about her that touch me deeply, and I'm not the only one who has this experience.....

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! In the meantime, I'm working on the perfume I will send in for our new 'Perfume Swap' at our Yahoo group. I will send in a men's perfume this time. It's a perfume based on green notes with a lot of fresh green grass notes, a heart of carnation and a base of amber, musk and sandalwood. More about that later....

Easter Perfume Bottles?

It's almost Easter and this inspired me to find some beautiful perfume bottles in an egg shape. At your right you see a 'lady's companion' - a perfume-bottle holder - made by German master silversmith Henry Steiner (1835-1914), who came to Adelaide in 1858. The design is an emu egg that encloses two perfume bottles. The egg has been cut in two and is hinged to allow access to the perfume bottles inside.
Below some other perfume bottles with an egg shape:


Sashka
Beyond Paradise Blue

Lovely Obsession



Mischief

Black Cashmere

Agent Provocateur


Another beauty from Agent Provocateur Maîtresse

Happy Easter!

Work in progress


I used another design for this blog and I'm still working on some things. Like the categories that you can see on your right. I like the posts to be grouped by category but I had to label every post I made in the past and I forgot how many posts I posted on this blog. Well still 50 posts to label and than it's done, I also will add the quotes that I have about perfume and add some nice photos with it. It takes a bit of time and I'm sorry for that.

Your chair?


This image does me remind me of something a girl once told me. When she was a child she had an odd thing, when someone she didn't know visited her parents and sat on a chair, she always sniffed that same chair after the visitor was gone. Hmm would be strange if adults did the same thing. Kids are much closer to smell, they smell without being prejudged, they just analyze odors not dividing them in bad or good smells.

Apologize

I realize I don't post as often anymore, I apologize for that. I have many things to say I want to do more reviews of the Guerlain perfumes and also of the perfumes by Ineke. But lately I can't always find the time. I just post when ever I have the time or whenever I feel like it, I want to enjoy to write the posts and don't want to feel like it's a must. I hope you all don't mind that I don't post on a regular bases.

Fragrant wishes to all readers of this blog

Taste

Do you recognize this? Sometimes you can almost taste someone's perfume. I remember one time I was eating diner with a whole group of people and couldn't enjoy my diner because every time I opened my mouth I could taste the perfume of the woman sitting next to me....
Have a nice Sunday!

Happy father's day


I will give my father a bottle of Dune Pour Homme by Dior today. Dune Pour Homme derives much of its richness from the same sources as Dune for women which I love. The notes are: basil, mandarin, moss, sage and cedarwood, blended with essences of fig and blackcurrant. What did you give your father, husband or grandfather today or if you're a father yourself what did you received today?

Made by blog


The lucky Katie from Scentzilla and Marina from the blog Perfume smellin things are chosen to describe their dream perfume and this will be made by two perfumers from IFF. You can follow the process and creation of these two perfumes on the blog Made by blog
The blog would more or less reflect the development and evolution of the perfumes in "real time." You will be able to smell these perfumes and give your opinion. It sounds real exciting!

A scented sunday

Today I visited my grandma, my grandma is 93 years old and still have a clear mind. She can't walk anymore because of a failed churgery of her bag and sitting in a wheelchair but she is always full of humor and still interested in everything that happens in the world. I think that's really important to keep your mind that bright, being interested in everything and training your brain by reading and not to forget the humor, what is live without humor.
The rest of the day was for my perfume making. I worked on my Fougere once again but am not satisfied with the result, I find it to soapy I have to find out what makes it smell like that. I tried to make a Viburnum Snowball base as well, I used an Elderflower scent as the basematerial together with Clove, Cashmeran and Benzyl iso Eugenol and a Narcissus and Honeysuckle scent. It smell real nice but I need to reduce some of the scents, but I have hope the result is close to the real scent of the Viburnum. I also testing some of the new chemicals I received from Quest. I have all kinds of scentstrips around me. I smell them individual and together with other notes. You will not believe the wonderful smell around me. What a wonderful hobby I have!
