I'm making a list of all...Hi all participants. I'm making a list of all the aromatics I have never tried. It's so fascinating to see how you have all interpreted "Winter Freshness". And to have such unique perspectives from all over the globe. I learned so much from each entry--it's kind of like a class in natural perfumery. <br /><br />Farmer's Daughter from Iris Moore immediately caught my attention and my memory. I've always said first and foremost that's what I am--I could relate to all the visuals you used Iris. I could cuddle up and be happy in that barn too. <br /><br />Olga Nedelina's masterpiece makes me think of curling up with Anna Karenina by the fire on a cold night. I'm so curious to know what badiane (star anise tincture) and hibiscus smell like. <br /><br />Always a fan of incense, I'm curious to try Susan Hipple's perfume Incense of Almaty. In the Steppes of Central Asia from composer Borodin has always captured my imagination musically and I imagine this scent would take me one step closer to being there. Sounds amazing. <br /><br />Sophia Shuttleworth's interpretation of winter freshness is so unique to me. I love Rooibos tea but have never smelled the absolute or tincture. Of course being from Africa, Sophia would have a completely different idea of what winter means than me being in the cold north. It would be such a pleasure to enjoy all the varied essences of Dryad and how they've melded together. <br /><br />And finally, Paul Kiler. Congratulations to you! Pemou root, how interesting. It much be local to the area. However did you masterfully combine such varied aromatics? What's your secret ;) Also, I'd trade some of this winter wonderland for some LA winter fantasy. Congratulations to you all. <br /><br />And of course, I would like to join the glam bag giveaway, Lyn. Lovely reviews from you, as always! You run such amazing challenges and I hope to be part of one in the future again. <br />Suzy LarsenSuzy Larsenhttp://www.suzylarsen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425984480251826524.post-49943722231792183572013-04-24T09:41:00.543-07:002013-04-24T09:41:00.543-07:00See you there.See you there.Lyn Elizabeth Ayre, Author, Photographer, Perfumer, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892978733631470079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425984480251826524.post-66529382439184205002013-04-23T22:28:42.133-07:002013-04-23T22:28:42.133-07:00Thank you, Lyn!

Just use it as part of your wax portion and also count each pea-sized piece as a drop of essence in your perfume formula. There are other posts on this very blog that will give you further instructions. I think it was for Valentine's Day in 2011 that I gave three of my formula.

Can you give an idea of a great website that would teach me how to transition to this media? And where would I go to good quality waxes? Maybe I'm getting in over my head but so what huh.

You’ll have to wait for the details to come out on May 1st. The perfumes will need to be here no later than July 31st, and I will do the evaluations for the end of August in time for a fall launch. Are you up for the challenge? I hope so.
