  Jack is looking for a fragrance gift for his sister. And like all good sisters she shares with Jack her fragrance preferences: clean, floral, maybe a little crisp, but not too fruity. And like all good brothers, Jack has no idea what this means. He needs suggestions! His sister is looking for “her scent”. Jack  says she likes something from Victoria’s Secret, “apple”, I’m thinking maybe Pear Glacé?  Here are my clean floral slightly crisp perfume suggestions:

• Garden Fresh: A Tomato Fragrance Guide

  Date: 2010.07.29 | Category: fragrance | Response: 5

  

  This has been the first year I’ve ever had a garden (first year as a homeowner too). I love having fresh herbs and I barely have to tend to them. Fresh herbs are a little luxury that I do not want to give up. So, far I have only had squash be successful, the other veggies are trailing way behind. However, it looks like I am going to have at least 3,000 cherry tomatoes one day. I went nuts planting them from seed and what do you know?… Continue reading | 5 Comments

• Plum Crazy: A Plum Fragrance Guide

  I love plums. We have a plum tree in the backyard and this spring brought us the most amazing aroma of plum blossoms. Plus, the tree has been just beautiful when covered with blossoms. It’s been quite a view from my pink boudoir. I also love the aroma of the juicy fruit. Stone fruits really add to a fragrance. A plum has a richness that others do not, plus it lacks the “fuzziness” of peaches. It mixes well with florals and spices. Hey, it even mixes well with seaweed. I… Continue reading | 1 Comment

• Loving Ylang-Ylang: A Ylang-Ylang Fragrance Guide

  Date: 2010.03.11 | Category: fragrance | Response: 3

  

  Ylang-ylang is a note that I have learned to love. It’s tenacity always turned me off. I never felt like I could pull-off such a heady, floral note. As I’ve “matured” to put it nicely, I’ve realized that I can pull-off ylang-ylang. If you can pull-off jasmine than you can do ylang-ylang. It’s a special fragrance, very exotic for me since I’ve shunned it for so many years. Here is a very brief ylang-ylang fragrance guide with varying price points.
