I absolutely reek. Been mixing Genus Orchidaceae, and diluting an 8 oz bottle of Vanilla Absolute. Also finally this morning our new 15ml bottles arrived and I have been decanting the last of all the Moderne perfumes to the new size. I usually keep an extra bit of perfume in each scent in case someone coming in to the boutique is gift shopping and wants a fancier bottle. We have several unique styles of bottle including my own one of a kind gilded stoppered glass bottles. I was all set to go with my gilded bottles for our natural collection until I saw that another perfumer was using a gilded bottle. Scents by Alexis I think. Hers are gorgeous too. I started making them years ago, when I discovered that you could buy variegated leaf. I must have covered a zillion things in that stuff. Including some of the sculptural pieces for my game board series.
So now with bottling up all of the perfume, I will need to batch out even more. I am finally getting around to the Vanillaville and Moroccan Orange today as well. I bottled the last of the Ginger Mead, and am wondering about this scent. It doesn’t do so well on-line. I don’t think that people can get a feel for it by the description, because in person everyone loves it. We have some press coming out next month that may include this scent (among others) so I am not going to do anything just yet.
Over the next few days I will go ahead and add the 15ml Moderne’s to the web store. At least in the scents that we have available. I am also making a label change. We are going to start listing a more detailed ingredients list on all of our perfumes, so as I add things back to the menu, the new label will reflect the additional information. Work, work, work. It never ends. But that’s just fine with me. Back to the dungeon.
Have A Great Day, ZZ…….
