There's a Facebook group for local perfume lovers, the Seattle Sniff, https://www.facebook.com/groups/176820552450496/, so please check it out and join! We would love to have you. <br /><br />When it comes to perfume hoarding, I have you beat, and not just with the stock on my shelves! I have a huge personal collection (never counted!) including literally thousands of samples.

I just learned about you and your fragrances while on Fragrantica this past week! Since moving here in 1999, it seems to me that I've hardly met anyone who even likes perfume, let alone has a personal stash of more than 20 bottles. Of course I don't expect anyone to have hoarded as many I have at upwards of 100. :-) I hope to obtain some samples of yours soon. therealpaloma54noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-66290840525826085732014-08-16T17:29:11.311-07:002014-08-16T17:29:11.311-07:00Imagine an early morning in Mexico.

When a bronze-winged woodpecker hammers a tree trunk for the breakfast, where Maxillaria variabilis grows, he might smell something like this fragrance. My suggested names inspired by this bird: "Carpintero Alibronceado" (its local name), "Colaptes" (its genus).<br />But I prefer a simple name like "Lumber". Other names came to my mind are "Woodchopper's Garden" or "Woodchopper" & "Valla" (wood fence in Spanish).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585533555109785709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-49762049321150169232014-08-16T11:52:37.339-07:002014-08-16T11:52:37.339-07:00Yes, they are in SoDo.

They had various tone woods like bubinga as well as gorgeous curly and bird's eye maple and fragrant cedar boards from all over the country.

"Heartwood" seems a bit "sappy" (sorry)!

Gail, ...Marla, I know you already got the samples! <br />Gail, I actually like the name Crosscut. Rip sounds too much like R.I.P. I just looked at a list of "woodworking terms" and ones that caught my eye are "Heartwood", "Rip Cut", "Sapwood", "Tongue and Groove", "Burl", "Chatoyance", "Heart Shake". There are probably a lot more that would work, too.
