During the Sixties I had a magnificent cologne from Lanvin called Figaro that had the scent of fresh cut grass and herbs and woods. It was wonderful but was discontinued many years ago. It's closest modern equivalent would be Estee Lauder's Aliage - again a fragrance with an overdose of galbanum. Similarly, Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel has a wonderfully grassy topnote along with the musk and violet. <br />Glad to hear you are working on a leather accord. I will be most eager to try it! <br /><br />Best Wishes,<br /><br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-79930663328891309932011-05-18T12:25:41.169-07:002011-05-18T12:25:41.169-07:00Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions! It ...Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions! It looks like the most popular are the coupon code and the paper-theme perfume. <br /><br />Regarding the coupon code, as Robert pointed out, my profit margin is intentionally small because of my own personal philosophy. I think what I'll do is send out a promotional flyer with a code for a small discount to everyone who has signed up as a customer on my website rather than posting it here.<br /><br />Regarding the paper-theme perfume, that will be a fun project. Gail, it will definitely not be "Eau de Tacoma"! For those who haven't been to that lovely city, it's the smell of paper mills and other industries. <br /><br />Robert, I'm glad you like Gujarat and Flerus de Glace. I'm planning to add Gujarat to my catalog this week, and will now consider adding Fleurs de Glace. I think a lot of people are traumatized by all of the galbanum in the opening of FdG, but I happen to like galbanum, and I guess you do, too. I'm working on a leather accord right now, which I want to use in a couple of different perfumes. I'll be writing about it soon.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-85637711674311555852011-05-17T06:16:07.121-07:002011-05-17T06:16:07.121-07:00CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!

I would hope that two of your best - Gujarat and Fleur de Glace - will be added to your regular line.<br />I do not expect any monitary promotion since your scents are some of the least expensive on the market - given their high quality. <br />Some suggestions:<br />How about an fragrance recalling your mother's visit to Israel? I have not seen anything out of this part of the world for many years. Also, a leather or a vetiver scent would be most appreciated! Perhaps a patchouli?<br />Incidently, there is a perfume on the market that does smell of cardboard: L'Artisan Parfumeur's Dzing!. It is a wonderfully odd composition, quite delightful and very wearable for both men and women. Also, certain India inks have a distinctive smell - a little like patchouli.<br />Thanks again for your wonderful scents and good luck in the future.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br /><br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-12980352117305348702011-05-17T00:14:50.800-07:002011-05-17T00:14:50.800-07:00Happy first blog birthday!

I'm so lagging behind with reviewing your perfumes (shame on me).Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-82728155714241525222011-05-16T23:41:00.139-07:002011-05-16T23:41:00.139-07:00Happy Birthday!

By the way...I agree with deeHowe. A coupon code would be great but I also like the idea of developing a "paper" perfume. ( Just don't go for "L' Eau de Tacoma"!) Besides music (my job) I also like to do visual arts just for fun (these days). I like to go into the art supply stores and check their water color and art papers. There are some fresh paper smells out there that have nothing to do with grass, pulp or cardboard. There are the clean earth smells in the papers that contain clay, etc. I also like the smell of newsprint before the ink!
