#Scent of the Day: Patchouli Creme Fresh, green, earthy, and slightly smoky. You wear it because you love the mercurial nature of patchouli; it can either be syrupy and “head shoppy”, or pungent and full of all the loamy goodness of nature. Patchouli Creme is at once bracing and green, yet smoky and creamy. #Lavender and #mimosa are responsible for amping up the green at the beginning, while #litseacubiba adds a citrusy sharpness that feels refreshing. As it dries down, #vanilla #coffee and a tinge of #nutmeg take over, allowing the composition to evolve into the scent of a hike on a forest trail, where green leaves mix with moist, warm earth. Natural perfume compositions containing #patchouli do not smell anything like what you’ve smelled in commercial fragrances. Be ready to have your mind blown by its beauty and versatility. 🌿 #esscentualalchemy #naturalperfume #botanicalperfume https://ift.tt/2NGoKxB

The #rugged Lumberjack Man ➡️ https://ift.tt/1PZdjet It is called “man”, but it has the capacity to be genderless. You wear it because there are days when only a rich, warm, woody and spicy scent will do. Don’t let the name “Lumberjack Man” lull you into thinking that this scent is exclusively for men. The #tobacco and #woods are perfectly complimented by zesty #ginger and #lime and expertly spiced with a dash of #blackpepper Together, they make a scent that can be considered masculine on a man, and also warm and inviting on a woman. Lumberjack Man is one of those scents that is capable of giving you a bear hug on the coldest days, yet is bright enough to wear appropriately on a smartly-casual evening out. Share it with your significant other and see how it adapts to your individual chemistry. You may find yourselves connected in ways you never imagined. #esscentualalchemy #naturalcologne 🌲#lumberjack #lumberjackman https://ift.tt/30fd0Wv

❤🧜‍♀️ Spicy floral coupled with zingy fruits, and soothing woods. You love and wear it because this is the one fruity floral that doesn’t smell like countless others. We cherish the idea of mermaids as mystical, romantic figures; we write fairy tales and make movies about them. We wonder, perhaps, what they smell like. Mermaid’s Carnation is a combination of flight of fancy with free spirit, making anyone who wears it feel as enchanting as a mermaid. Mermaid’s Carnation starts off with a refreshing burst of #bergamot and #grapefruit coupled with tart #blackcurrant The #citrus top notes make way for the subtle spiciness of #carnation along with the slightest hint of #rose As the scent settles on the skin, the #balsam and #sandalwood base notes create a soothing warmth that lingers on the skin like the softness of a mermaid’s skin and hair. Mermaid’s Carnation is a seasonless scent that is appropriate in any setting. https://ift.tt/2OCFvfj

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. … No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.” from The Life and Work of Martha Graham #thecreativelife #artiststruggles #naturalperfumer #inspirationandmotivation #quotestoliveby #esscentualalchemy #scentedgandalf https://ift.tt/2GKpayG

"The tuberose, with her silvery light, That in the gardens of Malay Is call'd the Mistress of the Night, So like a bride, scented and bright; She comes out when the sun's away." ~ Thomas Moore #perfumequotes #scent #tuberose #vintagepostcard https://ift.tt/31as7R1

#itcametomeinadream Pro Fond natural perfume ➡️ https://ift.tt/1PZdjet It’s not often that a fragrance is created that expertly and harmoniously blends gourmand, savory, and floral notes. Not long ago, Amanda had a dream about embarking on such a project. She dreamed of making a white floral perfume, and she started off with savory base notes. She then added chocolate to the mix, but woke up before completing her creation. In her waking hours, Amanda played around with her favorite white floral notes, adding and subtracting various essences until she hit upon the creation she named Pro Fond. The notes that comprise the base of Pro Fond are barley, #vetiver Haiti, #Muhuhu cacao and #choyaloban The florals consist of #karokarounde #whitelotus ylang ylang, tuberose and white champa. At the very top, #bloodorange #petitgrain and phenyl ethyl acetate provide a gateway to the richness that lies beneath. Pro Fond begins with a citrusy freshness that seamlessly fades into the beauty of the white florals. #Ylangylang tempers the lush prominence of the #tuberose and #whitechampa and finally, the savory groundwork takes center stage, with a pleasant, almost woody quality, while the #cacao and #barley evoke calming warmth. 🌸#naturalperfume #botanicalperfume #esscentualalchemy https://ift.tt/2K9c2Ek

"A soft wave of perfume guides the steps towards wild strawberry, round like a pearl, which matures here in secret, darkens, trembles and falls, dissolve slowly to save raspberry rot with aroma mixed to that of a greenish honeysuckle, topped with honey, to that of a round of white mushrooms..."
