Ask the Perfumer 4/28/2013 – and an Mermade Incense Warmer Giveaway!
Originally posted April 28, 2013 Katlyn Breene of Mermade Magikal Arts allowed me to experience incense again. No, she didn’t give permission, that’s something nobody can do, it’s an individual choice, but she gave me an incense warmer a few years ago. What’s an incense warmer? Why couldn’t I use incense before getting one? A few years ago, much to my dismay, I developed a smoke allergy. Cigarettes, incense, barbeque, fireplace smoke: you name it, it irritated my respiratory system. The one thing I missed the most was my beloved natural incense. Katlyn is a talented perfumer in the Guild, but for many years before that, she was known for her incredibly beautiful, well-made 100% natural incense blends and singular raw materials, such as Hojary frankincense, myrrh, copal and other woods and resins she supplies to customers and other incense crafters. I blogged about the first incense “warmer” she offered a few years ago. I was so joyous! Once again I was able to enjoy her blends,
