Ramos Gin Fizz cravings, Spring perfumes and antique pill box
Somehow somewhere in this flu bug I got the most intense desire for a Ramos Gin Fizz.
I made a bottle of Ramos gin fizz perfume last year and may just drink it in my feverish state. It sounds so cool and refreshing.
Sigh.... Some folks have had this bug for over a month and are still in miserable conditions. This is worrisome news. I have been feeling much better though and hope to open the store back up in a couple days. I can't wait as I have some dainty antique micro mosaic pill boxes to sell with just gorgeous spring-filled concrete perfumes. I don't have pictures up of them yet.
One perfume is inspired by the hope that Spring brings to one's soul and impressionistic classical music of the likes of Debussy, Ravel and Satie. I think I may call it, "Song Of Spring". It is bright and beautiful with concretes of: Mimosa, damask rose, rose centiflolia, jasmine grandiflorum, sambac and carnation. The heart is joyful with jonquil and orange blossom absolute. Top notes are: galbanum, nerolina, bitter green orange, petitgrain, clove absolute and organic rosewood. Base notes are: angelica absolute and a hint of Haitian vetiver and Australian sandalwood.
"Shrubbery" is another Spring perfume I will be releasing in oil and solid form. It has green top notes as if you've brushed against just blossoming, rain soaked shrubs. I suspect as well it echos months of longing, staring out the window patiently (or impatiently) waiting for my Charlie Brown Christmas tree looking Daphne to grow.
The initial top notes of "Shrubbery" are rather sharp and green with the lovely clean, eucalyptus, lilac note of nerolina, the tea, honeyed and herbaceousness of linden blossom and herbaceous and balsamic note of rhododendron. There are many flowers and blossoms in the heart and the base has balsams and vanilla.
I have other bottles of creations just waiting to be finished, topped off or filtered.
The Hawaiian Lei series will be loads of fun as I have the Maile Vine absolute that the real lei's are made from.
I also found in my pill box hunt a trinket box carved with the image of golf legend Payne Stuart. I will be putting a fougere solid perfume in it called "Tee Time". Hmmm maybe I should call it "Par 4"? There will also be an oil based version. I wanted to name it after the cute knickerbocker pants they used to wear golfing but I think they were called, "Plus 4's".
I should go rest a bit. I wanted to post a little follow up to let the few of you know I haven't fallen into a well. Below are photos of some of the antique pill boxes I broke down and purchased. Unfortunately none of the mosaic floral boxes from Italy are featured.
Have a great day! Kait
