droplets
Highlights this morning: Luca Turin in the NZZ Folio, ahhh Emeraude by Coty. What a fragrance! Luca Turin’s open letter is not online yet, but soon will on http://www.nzzfolio.ch/…
Before leaving home, early, jumping into thick white fog that poured somehow artifically over the streets like Santa Claus’ artificial white facial hair flows over his big belly, hohoho…it’s the season again, …well before leaving home, a quick sniff on the latest Lavender, undiluted still, hopefully without brown spots, brought a smile on my face.
A picture fitting with it might be green, very green indeed. Green as the phalaenopsis leaf seen this Sunday, after the weekly orchid showering, with little water pearls gleaming in the sun, focusing the light.
It is truly an interesting analogy. Look at the picture below, imagine it without the droplets: It would be boring, a picture of an orchid leave, overexposed, not revealing much, except the photographer’s inability to control his digital camera’s settings. Now, with the water pearls, bringing in a new structural element, points of attention in a sense, like little crystals, the same green leaf is transformed into much more, a focal point to start thinking about surface structure, surface tension and nature’s applied nanotechnology.
Droplets in Lavender might be: The musky ambrette seed and (a hint only, very effective with ambrette seed) patchouli, the ambra droplet by ambrein, the fir balm (reduced, yet even more effective than before) and some magic compounds more….

Love both the photo, and the lavender additions.
Just so that you don’t think I’ve been cheating on you with another perfumer, I’ve already preordered from Luckyscent…
And I ought to confess, that I’ve been giving tutorials to any, and every SA who is interested- dragging out my samples of your scents, spraying them, and scribbling down the details so they can order for themselves…
Trying to enlighten the folks at Saks, Neiman’s, Barney’s, et al…
Who loves ya, baby ?!

Lovely post… water indeed is a magical substance.
