roaring vanilla bean
Another wish for 2007 (besides the wish that things only get better now…): I wish I was a little bit more patient with what I do. This of course does not apply to my lavender-headnote fragrance….wish number 3: I want to launch this scent this year! Quick, quick!
Especially now, that it survived the heavy duty Zurich bar test. Contrary to what I planned I found myself in a bar yesterday, after a dear friend rang me, wishing to see me and talk about some melancholic issues like cleaning an apartment, moving out, etc. Thus, I figured out that some red wine will do good, with its anti-oxidants it cannot but support the healing process and I put on the preferred mod, one spritz only and observed it in a real word environment.
… we are talking heavy smoke here. Not the post-2006 Italian bar where you sit in air that is clearer and cleaner than what the average ice bear gets these days. In Zurich, you can still smoke in bars and people do and I do not mind at all. My trial version survived the bar test easily…being present, smooth and vibrant, clean and clear. What followed next was the taxi test that ended fifty-fifty. Vanillin and some creamy wood coming from a cheap scented car freshener, applied daily in heavy doses, transformed the cab that brought me home into a gigantic vanilla bean roaring through Zurich. Here, the mod showed off with elegance, once isolated from the vanilla cloud.
I think, my mod performs nicely, for sure powerful enough. Of course, staying and diffusion power per se is not enough, but it is one factor….Today, respectively tonight, I want to test a few dilutions at different concentrations. More to follow for sure later….

Congratulations Andy - this sounds wonderful indeed. I am testing my mixtures usually by myself so that I can evaluate them properly but I must say that I totally agree with testing in the real world :-) Have to do that! Great to hear that you are back on your feet and ready to work! Best, K.

I love Lavender - so I’m expecting great things of this one Andy - I thought a little pressure at this stage wouldn’t do you any harm - this is no time for complaicancy.

Konstantin-I always check on myself, sometimes on the road, in the office, and often also going to bed with a scent. I demand nice dreams, otherwise I consider it a failure ;-)
Heather-hmmm… you are colliding with Chayaruchama ;-)
and concerning the latest mod….just wait a little bit…no easy-going, just the laws of chemistry…it needs to mature a little bit more.
And last but not least, Chayaruchama, thank you my dear! As a matter of fact, I am fine, and got used to my slow motion walk. And I promise: Tonight, not much will happen, except maybe for a shipment that needs to fly off tomorrow, Hugs and Kisses
