one month more
I have to wait for another month before getting into the plane that will bring me (for an astonishing price) to LA, with a stop in Montreal. But after quite some arguing with my inner self, I decided on what to talk about, i.e. what scents to present March 29, after noon until 5 pm.
Of course, we will have a bottle of the Incense rosé there. And two, three incense extracts.
Then I would like to show some roses, like the rose absolue and the rose steam distilled and some stuff you might want to use when constructing the rose in a fragrance.
And I would like to show the rose chypre I am working on, in a 10-20 % dilution. Because I find this fragrance the longer the more exciting!
Thus, we will talk roses. Who is coming?

And while I am dreaming, maybe you want to read Donna’s review of the Incense extrême on the Perfume-smellin’ Things Perfume blog. (I am flushing full of joy…)

*sniffle* i would love to attend, but i will not yet be in LA. instead, i’ll be dancing with rain in NY, hopefully with my floating commonwealth fragrance finished…

Donna’s review is indeed a delight … as is the case with all your perfumes, it takes a few wearings to appreciate that this isn’t just another incense frag. I suppose now that you’ve been christened Desert King we will need to call you Your Majesty … I wonder what sort of crown a Desert King would wear?

What a beautiful review, and so well deserved. I wish I could be in LA in March to sniff and sample, but I live on the opposite coast, oh drats.

Andy, I am SO glad you liked my review, and thank you Vasily and Sabina for your kind words.

Andy, we’ve booked our LA hotel rooms. We just need to find a sitter for Norbu, and then we’ll be ready. It seems a shame we have to wait so long till 29 March. I hope the LA gang knows you’ll be there. I’d love to see Lavanya again. And I didn’t get to meet Tom the last time.

Oops! Correction. That should be “hotel room.” My DH and I do not stay in separate rooms. =:0

Dear Risa
Ohhh…what a pity. But then: The perfect reason to come agin in autumn ;-) and I am sure you will enjoy NY in spring!
Dear Vasily
If there was something I was not 100% comfortable with in the review, then it is being called desert k.
You know, we Swiss miss any royalty and what comes with royals. Even the concept kings and queens is very suspicious to us. ….hehehehe… I guess we only accept what we can vote for and even there we change our opinion from time to time…..
Dear Sabina
It is time I find another place for my fragrances, east of LA! I want to fly there too…..
Dear Flora, your review made my -otherwise pretty uncomfortable due to server troubles- morning! And I appreciated it a lot. Thank you
Dear Maria
Great! If your efforts trying to find an appropriate dog sitter fail: Bring Norbu with you. I’d bet he would be the star at lucky’s….. Do not worry about the LA gang knowing: Franco and Adam from Luckyscent will make sure that folks know….and I will -tatata!!!!- from time to time remember folks, too.
