I made a perfume for my daughter's baby shower and gave a sample of it to each guest. I saved a bit of it of course, for her to use on a special day in her life. Like a prom or a wedding or something. It doesn't exactly stink now, but it's not a great as it was. Of course, I'm not a good perfumer. Hopefully, she'll always smell the love in it :)Donna Maria @ Indie Businesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353375976237068728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-79002912393361060682012-12-02T19:42:52.556-05:002012-12-02T19:42:52.556-05:00Hi Isayah:

I think juniper berry, coriander and lavender might be top note possibilities, so try them. <br /><br />HTH,<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-91325116608883244912012-12-02T19:35:06.433-05:002012-12-02T19:35:06.433-05:00Hi Kimr:

I am a novice and have just dabbled in perfuming over the past couple of years. I made a couple of custom solid perfumes for friends and now everyone wants one! Those were fairly easy, one wanted citrus, another patchouli. But now, a challenge that i don't know how to get started with. my brother wants a cologne that smells like the woods.....in Washington state! Ha! so i'm thinking oakmoss, and sandlewood maybe? Any ideas? i need it to smell like wet earth (vetiver?) and rain ( no idea) and trees but what trees? It can't be flowery, needs to be manly and i need it not to smell like i pine car freshener....help!<br /><br />I'd be very careful with oakmoss. You should listen to my podcast on http://perfumeclasses.com about accessory notes, because oakmoss is one of the fiercest. Sandalwood doesn't grow in the PNW, so why don't-you stick with woods that do?<br /><br />Since you're new to perfumery, I'd advise you to keep it simple, maybe just three or four oils, and blend them in different ratios (this is called making accords) to see how they interact, keeping in mind they should 'age' for a month or more. Without getting into chemistry, know that all oils are complex chemicals, and they interact and morph over time. What smells good in December might be awful in January - or the opposite, it might be beautiful!<br /><br />Think about taking my course if you wish to become more professional at making perfumes, it's comprehensive and very thorough at teaching students a great foundation.<br /><br />HTH,<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-23663416734310526762012-12-02T18:58:23.568-05:002012-12-02T18:58:23.568-05:00Hi Hemla:

It was made as a limited edition for an Israeli museum. I'll post more as I learn more and have a chance to evaluate the perfume's notes.<br /><br />I also have a few Judith Muller perfumes from Israel. They've been discontinued a long time, and her perfumer was never named, either.<br /><br />Now, in a few years, between you and my other Israeli students, we'll have the names associated with the perfumers from your coutry! :-)<br /><br />xoxo<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-5835798882532931952012-12-02T15:51:42.342-05:002012-12-02T15:51:42.342-05:00Hello Anya,
I recently ordered Black current buds ...Hello Anya,<br />I recently ordered Black current buds absolute, unsniffed. Wow! This thing is potent!The opening is quite something: cat's pee in a rhubarb patch to my nose.<br />But it develops into a beautiful fruity/sweet smell that I adore. Now, I wonder how to work with this two/faced smell. I thought of burying the opening notes under tons of citruses, but I am not a citrus person so I'll probably hate it. If you have any tricks or suggestions they are welcome. <br />Note: I made 5% and 1% dilutions in perfumer's alcohol.

I strive to do all things naturally for myself and my family so that I can reduce the amount of toxins that are introduced into our bodies. I am going to be starting a business soon, and I wanted to use a nice but non toxic scented product to add a little charm. I feel fortunate that I came across your website when doing research to find a natural scent product. I appreciate the care you put into your product. Your high standards will be a great benefit to myself and many others.
