"The giving tree" and the girl that is chewing grape bubble gum
Well, I guess "The Giving Tree" may be the name of the fir balsam absolute based scent. It got a thumbs up from the house tester/ guinea pig.
Boy, I was swimming in orris today as I was filtering my infusions of it. Orris is soft, violet-like, woody, rooty and a powdery scent in a comforting way, not a "gag! I am being strangled by great grandma's closet!" way. If you want to buy the real concrete on line from a supplier, an arm and leg may be lost in the process. I have a sample of the real deal and it is no wonder it is so costly. Luckily, I am still able to infuse a much lighter version that can be used in perfumes.
I used a nice amount of orris and citrus in this new "The Giving Tree" scent. In a strange turn of events my guinea pig noticed that just the two notes of orris and a citrus(they were on my right arm at the time) smelled like grape bubble gum! He was right! Now, I am huffing "The Giving Tree" with a whole new nose!
In a little science note, Fir Balsam has been used as a vanilla substitute.
This perfume is now slightly candied, with the already jam-like vanillic quality of the fir balsam, it has turned my picturesque walk in the woods perfume into me as a child turning the pages of the actual, "The Giving Tree" book.
So, the perfume journey/story goes on. I aged in reverse in this tale though, if that makes any sense. I started the scent as a worn out adult suddenly strolling through the pristine woods looking for comfort, escape and a sense of joy. What I ended up with is a girl in the the forest playing, wide-eyed and free, chewing grape bubble gum.
I am going to go put some vetiver in this composition this minute!
Bye bye bubble gum!
ok... The little girl can stay..just for a while though.
