Yesterday was air du désert bottle pouring and crimping and labeling day. And today we engage in UNE ROSE VERMEILLE bottle pouring and crimping and labeling day. Oups. No. Wrong. We are still waiting for the labels, but do the bottle thing.
Over the week end we plan to do more bottle pouring fun, in preparation for the PITTI FRAGRANCE exhibition September, and for expected sales early autumn.
Thus, normal production routine towards the end of this week.
Let me introduce and seduce you in between: Please visit FRAGRANTICA and make sure you participate on their draw for a Carillon pour un ange, co-organized by Luckyscent. The draw is over this Friday! There, you will find a little text by myself: This is my contribution to the e-book project “A MOMENT WITH LILY OF THE VALLEY”, a charity project that will end up in an e-book, jointly organized by Tauer and luckyscent.com . (what kind of charity: Will be decided by poll on this blog later)
Here is one reason why I wanted to do this e-book: I realized that with every launch I get more interest in what I do, interest by the press and other media. And one day, I figured that this attention might be used to create awareness to xyz. xyz was something in the field of charity, and fun, and community oriented. The hope that I have with this e-book project: That by spring 2011, when launching the Carillon pour un ange in its final packaging and getting the press for it, we can use part of the press to push sales of the e-book. And that we continue collection stories and end up with a large e-book on lov(e).
Thus, I look forward to receiving many contributions. If you consider sharing your MOMENT WITH LILY OF THE VALLEY: please send it to us by e-mail or snail mail and do not publish it here (or there) ONLY: For copyright issues we need your official agreement for publication by e-mail or snail mail. Details you find in here: MOMENT WITH LILY OF THE VALLEY (pdf file, 200 kb).
Thanks for the Luckyscent link, and for mentioning the LOV project, which does sound interesting. I’d love to submit something, if I can find the time to put pen to paper.
Just one question: is there a deadline for submissions?
Have a great weekend, Andy.
Dear Persolaise
good question!
actually , for the first edition that we plan to bring out in spring 2011, the deadline will be about February 2011. I wish so much that you will find the time to write from here to there…
Hi Andy, that sounds like an interesting project. Today I have been enjoying my wonderful SOTD which is Rose chypree! It’s really beautiful. Have a great Friday!
February? Oh, ok, that’s great
I thought we might have only a few weeks! February’s fantastic. That means I can let some ideas bounce around in my head as I wander around India, and then I can commit them to paper when I return in September.
I will DEFINITELY submit something.
And whilst I’m writing, I’ll just echo what Jen’s written: Rose Chypree is pure sensuality. Quite beautiful, from start to finish.
Dear Jen
My Friday so far was great! Thank you and I wish you a lovely weekend!
Dear Persolaise
I reserve a chapter
Enjoy your weekend.
Just sent my submission for the e-book and posted my comment on Fragrantica…great project, best of luck with it and the new fragrance.
Can’t wait to sniff it!
We all will do anything & everything to help promote your good scents and causes!!
Hope you have time to take a break for BBQ & feasting over the weekend – you can send me the calories when you eat an extra piece – I may not eat such food anymore, so enjoy more to make up for my minus! 
Does Switzerland have an Independence Day of sorts, like Bastille Day, July 4th, or Canada Day???
I’m so excited that I won a bottle from Fragrantica! Thank you, Andy! I am beyond excited to sniff and wear!
I hope the e-book is a huge success and that some lucky charity will be gifted with loads of $$$! You have such a generous heart. Have a lovely weekend!

Good morning Hotlanta Linda
oh yes, we have our independence day: It is the 1. of August, with bonfires and speeches, referring to a few hundred years of Switzerland.
Congratulations, Devon!
I guess this is well deserved… I hope you will enjoy it.
Wishing you a great weekend.
