New Launch! Sybarite Eau de Parfum

I made this perfume for myself last year and have enjoyed wearing it so much! I decided to share it with the world. The Spring Equinox is a great time to launch this fabulous floral. She is loaded with expensive botanicals, and oud increases the wow factor.  

Sybarite is a person devoted to luxury and pleasure. This natural parfum combines some of the most expensive botanical oils available. It is a gorgeous floral and you can feel the richness when wearing it.

Notes: Bulgarian white rose otto, orange blossom absolute, osmanthus absolute, neroli oil, Damask rose absolute-Egypt, hydro distilled frankincense, expensive oud-agarwood, natural musk, and cistus.

Rare and Precious Essential Oils For Sale!

With the price of rose otto skyrocketing I thought I would offer a beautiful soft white rose that has mellowed like fine wine...it is really a treat..I call it Angel's Breath.

Wonderful Wednesday

Happy Father's Day!

I bless all of the fathers today...They stand like very old Torrey Pines trees ...strong, solid, and with great wisdom.  Fathers are the pillars of the community.  They are the old grove that never changes.  Give all of the trees a hug today...hug all of the fathers.  We appreciate you!

How Are You Being Fed?

I went to Woody Allen's movie Midnight In Paris yesterday.  What a great movie!  It was a fantasy for the main character and we got to live vicariously through him in this movie. 

He was a writer who dreamed of living in Paris.  He longed for the lifestyle of the famous authors, painters, and artists of days past.  For an hour we got to time travel and feel the joys, miracles, and longings of the actors.

In April I saw this butterfly exhibit and marveled at the colors of the butterflies, and the terrific patterns on their wings.  They are moving pieces of art.  I captured them on my camera as they were feeding.

I ask you today to explore ...what is feeding you?

Name That Flower!

These white ethereal babies are also in my yard...They scent the night air...I love the design of the flower, the layers, the points, and the shape.  I would not use one of these in perfume but I really love the scent.

Who can tell me what this is?

A Pink Rose For Valentine's Day

I love the fact that I have roses in full bloom in my yard in February. Lush, sweet smelling roses. This particular old rose has the most silky soft petals. The soft, floral aroma is deeply enchanting. The pastel pink is easy on the eyes. The gentleness of the bloom coupled with the ethereal scent attracts the little hummingbirds..What a sight to behold! The green body of the hummingbird in contrast to the flowers in the garden appear as art on a canvas.

This Valentine's Day I give you sweet, scented pink floral roses with love...

Being a natural perfumer...I use these beautiful blooms to create floral masterpieces. My custom bespoke perfumes contain the elements of this rose. I tincture these blooms and design new floral melodies with this liquid marvel..

I also create Limited Editions from my garden ... keep in touch for my next offering.
