quite a lot
Quite a lot happens these days, with a perfumer watching stories unfolding quite happily. Friday saw me spraying the last few drops of the Orris and -after weeks of zero Orris - this fragrance came as a surprise. It is interesting to see how a fragrance changes in ones memories or -eventually- how a fragrance smells differently from one day to the other. I am convinced that complexitiy has to do with it. The more lines there are in a scent to follow with one’s nose, the more the sensation will change from one day to the other. Another scent where I realized this effect was Old English Fern lately. I was amazed how dominant the coumarin seemed to be, compared to other days. Hmmm.. I am glad I do not have to analyze this ;-) …much too complicated!
Talking Orris: The packaging concept stands, most of what is needed is on its way, except for the flacons where we still wait for the final delivery date, and I look forward to present it on this blog once things are ready.
And the lavender thing is moving on, too. Getting greener and greener, like a May forrest. More about this later …. let’s engage and takle this grey Monday morning

Ooohhh !
Orris for me, lavender for Jacob…Yay !!!
You’ve been a busy bee, Monsieur Andy !
I’m sorry that it’s grey in Zurich…but it sounds sunny in your on-line voice.
May I wish you to be inscribed in the Book of Life for a sweet, healthy, creative, and prosperous New Year, my dear ?
I’m thinking [mental] honey cake to you, scented with strong coffee, orange blossom honey from Lebanon, and cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, allspice…
Baked by loving hands for your delectation alone…
love to you-

Hello Andy,
Yes, you have many fans, and please allow me to introduce myself as one! I am eagerly awaiting, along with so many other perfumistas, the realease of Orris. And your lavender trials sound very intriguing. Good luck as you continue!

Andy,
As a big fan of green scents, I am lusting (I know that’s a mortal sin but who cares) for the new Lavender scent. I am saving my money, already!
I sent my sample of Orris to a friend in the United States, and I am sure she will be ordering a full bottle. I feel it is my duty to “spread the love!”. Everyone that tries it loves it. I think with the sandalwood and oud it makes Orris a very unisex scent.
Hopefully, your many admirers can bring a little sunshine to your blustery day!

Dear Kelley, absolutely! I am bathing in sun (well, not in real life, there it rains …) and my day is enchanted by a few lovely comments.
Hey, Leopoldo…I just ask my fellow native english speaker sitting next to me in the train…we couldn’t figure out what woop woop really means? any clues?
Dear AnnE, glad to read your comment. I will do my best to make it timely ready and I am eventually more excited than you are…
Marina, dear fellow Orris lover, I know, I know and feel the burden on my shoulders…heheheh (just kidding).
Dear Chayaruchama
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, it sure feels good. I would specify: I am a happy busy bee, jumping joyful from one little flower to the next.
I send you fragrant wishes

Have a fragrant day!
