Ask the Perfumer - Sunday, May 20, 2012 - until 10 PM EST
I'll be here for your perfumery questions until 10 PM EST. In the meantime, here's an update on Little Frankie - Little Frankie out of the shipping box Dec. 2011 Little Frankie May 2012 So many fragrant flowers are in bloom here at Casa Jasmin! A neighbor walking his dog stopped to mention the fragrance, and I pointed out several of the beauties responsible for scenting my street. But perhaps the sweetest victory, unscented, is the thriving health of Little Frankie, my frankincense sacra plant. He arrived defoliated, looking like a sick little stick in December, and how he's sprouting out all over. Typical of frankincense "trees" he's going to have a weird, twisted shape that is just fine with me. I care about his health, and the wonderful chance to nurture such a rare historical plant.
