However, I've no shortage of ambroxan, so if you'd like a sample, just e-mail me with your address. You can find my e-mail in the profile section. <br /><br />I agree that people should judge art by their own emotions, but all too often they just follow the crowd, wanting to "fit in".

This feeling, or emotion, being good or bad, defines what the art holds inside. Since we all react differently, with a wide range of emotions, the art then evolves to convey message. When you discover that message, you Have "read" what the art is speaking to you. People should create and buy art based on their emotions, not because the said artist is popular, nor because your friend loves it. That is how I convey the Definition of art. Hope it's not too confusing. It's really difficult to convey the message!Quilts by Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483897643501286414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-57151446060859361022012-06-12T16:43:14.674-07:002012-06-12T16:43:14.674-07:00Alexine, Ambroxan diluted at 1% does indeed make a...Alexine, Ambroxan diluted at 1% does indeed make a wonderful perfume, and I sometimes wear it myself. If you would like to order it in 0.5 oz or 1 oz sizes, you can go to my website (orchidscents.com) and order the "Wild Card", specifying that the fragrance you would like is Ambroxan.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-76089304120360327712012-06-12T11:44:32.784-07:002012-06-12T11:44:32.784-07:00Thank you for this blog.

I received my June 2012 Birchibox last evening and discovered in it my new absolute favorite fragrance, Ambroxan or, as labeled, “Not a Perfume.” I knew right away that I had to get more of it. Your blog is the first follow up I’ve made, after Wikipedia’s definition of ambroxan. I haven’t even gone to Juliet Has a Gun as yet. As I continue in my search for affordable ambroxan for my own perfume collection, I now have a clear understanding of what I may encounter. Thank you, again.Alexinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531035540730297585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-61267107714178080602012-01-17T21:59:36.224-08:002012-01-17T21:59:36.224-08:00Hi, Pia!

That's 1g ambroxan and 99g ethanol. You can buy ambroxan crystals in small quantities from Perfumer's Apprentice. Have fun with it!Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-91759486399705608092012-01-16T17:54:50.192-08:002012-01-16T17:54:50.192-08:00Hi!

Would you by any chance mind letting me know how you dilute ambroxan, what the process looks like? I am a complete novice but am absolutely obsessed with Not a Perfume by Juliette has a Gun but thought it would be even more special if I could create this on my own. Thank you ever so much in advance for any advice you might have!

They are the same molecule but made in different ways, so produce slightly different off-isomers, or whatever phrase the chemists use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-84257047054949456082010-11-29T09:54:43.318-08:002010-11-29T09:54:43.318-08:00Ines, please don't feel that you need to send ...Ines, please don't feel that you need to send anything in exchange for the samples that I send you.

Because sometimes it seems things that are deemed as art are completely bizarre and I for the life of me cannot imagine why they would be art.<br />But if I had to give my opinion of what art is, I'd say it is a creative way of expressing your thoughts in any manner or through any material that lends itself to interpretation.<br />Now, I'm off to read what tarleisio wrote (I didn't want to influence myself). :)<br /><br />Btw, I got your kyphy package yesterday - thank you! I'll give it more time but for my first try, I can say this smells more Egyptian to me than any other kyphi I tried (and some other Egyptian themed scents).

And in so doing, challenges and changes our perceptions - for good, for bad or for indifferent - but that change must be there, a slight slant or view askew that did not exist before. Whether through redefining beauty - as Van Gogh famously did with irises and sunflowers - or redefining the everyday and mundane, as Warhol did with his Campbell's soup cans - in both instances, our perceptions of what constitutes "art", or "beauty" have been irrevocably changed. An iris is a flower in a garden, and a haunting perfume, and an ultraviolet emotion on a canvas but never merely "iris" again, a soup can can be...dinner, or a silk-screened poster, or an ad or a statement, but never...quite what it was, changed by that nebulous concept that is..."art". I also think this applies equally to whatever genre of artistic statement is used - music, fine arts, performing arts, perfume...<br /><br />Or at least, that's my definition! ;-)<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Juliette Has A Gun's 'Lady Vengeance' (one of the better 'dark roses'), but I also have to say - sometimes, it can be a good and applaudable act to question our often preconceived notions as to what constitutes "art" - in perfumery, in this instance. <br /><br />We perfumoholics (I don't know enough to be considered 'perfumista' just yet!) can sometimes get a bit too comfortable in our notions of what constitutes perfumery-as-art, and every once in a while, to have our preconceptions turned ever-so-slightly on their heads can teach us a great deal, about art, about the art that is perfume, and about ourselves, not least!<br /><br />And while I'm on my oversized soapbox, as an avid reader of your blog, can I just say how much I appreciate it, and how much you've taught me - about art, about orchids and about an art that is close to both our hearts! ;-)tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.com
