Welcome to a perfumer's blog on perfumery

What we love as autumn colours, trees and leaves showing all variations from dark green over mellow yellow to blood red is basically the visual signature of a recycling process that accompanies death on cellular level. In a sense, things looks more joyful than they are in autumn, as if nature wanted us to stop thinking about things to come, but rather to enjoy the colours of the moment.
In a sense, I enjoy the moment the same way in perfumery right now. X-mas is ante portas, as are the bottles for the Orris fragrance that will be delivered this Wednesday, the labels are printed, the cardboard boxes are ready, the flyers too. Thus, things look colourful and bright. What is ahead of us is quite some work, though. Us means W. and me, happy pouring and bottling! X-mas means samples, hence I will in the coming days see that I can stock up there, too.
Finally, if nothing goes seriously wrong, Orris will be in the shops, world wide, and ready to be tested and bought: November 15.
Now, that is something to look forward to.
