Essences
and Accords in my Perfumes
Animal essences impart depth,
strength, and sensuality to perfume formula that is unrivalled. They have been
used since ancient times. I use Ambergris, Hyraceum, Honey Beeswax, and non-animalic
leather notes such as blonde tobacco, Muhuhu wood, and a leather accord I
created. Please know that no animal was experimented on or injured in any way to
produce my perfumes. If you do not wish animal essences (Ambergris, Hyraceum, or Honey
Beeswax) in your perfume, simply let me know.
As each batch is made fresh, it is no problem at all to make it just right for
you.
Floral essences add a luscious
full body to perfumes. Using myriad combinations of Rose, Jasmine, Carnation,
Iris, Frangipani, Ylang Ylang,
Tuberose, Champa, Geranium, Lavender, Orange Blossom, Linden Blossom, Mimosa,
Chamomile, Pink Lotus, Ginger Lily, Osmanthus, Genet, Neroli, and various
accords I’ve created to mimic other flowers such as Honeysuckle,
Magnolia, Hyacinth, and Heliotrope, the heart of a perfume is created.
Fruity essences lend a certain
juiciness to the perfume formula. I use Davana, Caraway, and various citrus such
as Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Verbena type, Bergamot fcf, Lemongrass, Lime,
Litsea, and Melissa type. The citrus oils used are steam distilled so non-photo toxic and are
therefore safe to use on skin that will be exposed to sunlight.
Spices such as Cinnamon Leaf,
Pimento Berry, Turmeric, Anise, Mint, Ginger, Cardamom, Coriander, Black Pepper, Pink Pepper, Sage, Clove Bud,
Allspice tincture, and Clary Sage add zest and texture.
Woods, seeds, grasses, lees,
gums, and resins, such as Ambrette Seed, Cabreuva, Cedarwood, Frankincense,
Green Cognac, Hay absolute, Labdanum, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Vetiver make up the bulk of the base, grounding the fruits, florals,
and spices into Mother Earth once again. These act as an anchor, along with
animal essences, to 'fix' the perfume and keep it close to the body and long-lasting.
Various accords have also been
created to give further personality and character to the formulation –
smoky, dry, green, fruity, ambery, spicy, Chypre, powdery – all have their place in the
process of creating an aroma that you will love.
Adding the Spiritual dimension
Once a perfume formula has been created, it is nestled
between the Himalayan Healing bowls and toned then put in a cool
dark place to mature. Crystals, colours, and
sound, along with my intention that this product be for the highest good of the
wearer, impart Spiritual energy to my product, which is impossible to duplicate.
Everyone who tests and buys my perfumes says they love the energy of it and the
way it makes them feel.
This, of course, is what it's all
about for me-that my perfumes help you to feel beautiful, alluring, sexy, fun-loving, elegant, and
free-spirited. If this is your reaction to my fragrances, then I've done my best
for you.
