Frankincense stasis or what a fellow perfume lover thinks on my incenses
So this is an easy blogging week and the outlook for the remaining days are as bright as a crisp September morning, with the sun rising into clean morning air. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is a must read for all of you, dear readers, who wish to see a little clearer through Tauer’s incense clouds. Thanks to Maria B., whom you all know by her comments here and on other blogs, and if you don’t you will discover a very talented writer tomorrow.
The next two days this blog features two reviews by Maria B. of two incense scents that I talked about a lot. Both are basically finished, and based on frankincense CO2 extracts, my personal frankincense favourite. One is the somewhat clean, minimalistic version. This one will be talked about Friday. The other discussed tomorrow is the final mod of the rich incense with lots of citrus, rose, castor,…
In order to be honest: After I do not know how many trials, endless pirouettes, smoky somersaults and rosy back flips, the W.-factor ended in some sort of desperation, running out of vocabulary to comment version xy versus zw. Thus, I was very happy to see Maria jumping into incense clouds, saving the W.-factor from frankincense stasis, and bringing in a fresh perspective.
In order to be honest the second time this morning: After I do not know how many trials, after having a previous version sent out to Mr. L and Mr. K, building in some of their input, neglecting some of their input, after quite some doubts, I knew it is time for Maria to think about it.
You know: At a certain point, I think others see more than the perfumer in his niche.
Thank you Maria!

Hi, Andy, it’s actually Maria B.!!! :-D The funny thing is that C. is my middle initial.

Oh Maria

allow me to correct this in my post! Usually I do not edit once it is published, but here we will make an exception!

Dear Konstantin
The version you have is slightly different to the latest mod that will be discussed tomorrow. And rather different (total different tak) compared to the mod described on Friday….
Fragrant greetings and hugs

Andy, You have my attention! I can’t wait to read about your incense fragrances. The one with the rose and citrus is calling my name!
August 22nd, 2007 at 1:43 pm
I’m eager to hear all about it.
Sounds divine, in many ways.

You’re so right, Andy, a little distance helps to look at the project at hand from a different perspective. I applaud you for that because I know firsthand (hahem) how difficult that is.
Looking forward to tomorrows post, frankincense, rose and all.
