I've been working on new perfumes lately.

While I do strive to make an as close to natural perfume all of the time it doesn't always happen.  I do use a perfumers alcohol as a base for my perfume.  I use essential oils, waxes, absolutes and resins as much as possible in my formulations.  There are some times where a wonderful phthalate free fragrance oil is in order.

Aurora

 When I created this blend it was a blend I did not plan to keep long term.  Made of black pepper fragrance, sweet orange, rosemary, lemon, lavender, and patchouli essential oils it is earthy, sensual and extremely sexy.  I changed the name from Native Skies because Aurora seemed to be a better fit.

 Fanciulla Terrena

Earthly Maiden is a truly special blend.  I used sweet orange and patchouli essential oils and a beautiful sandalwood fragrance oil.  I love the way the oils blend together so seamlessly.  Very comforting....in my opinion. 

Sogni de Velluto

 Velvet Dreams is a intriguing blend of amber, patchouli and vanilla.  Not intended to be a unisex blend....I think it very much is.

Risveglio

Awakenings is my favorite of all.  Lavender, sweet orange and patchouli essential oils came together as if they were made to be together.  Orange is the dominant one here.  The lavender and patchouli sort of dance around it.  A very nice blend.

Anhoki #3

 Anhoki #3 is a blend I've had for about 7 years now.  I have to admit that very little of the oils that went in to this blend are essential oils.  When I created this blend I was working on a tropical type of blend for a swap I had agreed to participate in.  I had so many different samples of these wonderful oils and I just started playing and mixing and playing and mixing.  The end result was a wonderfully tropical, slightly floral and very soft blend.  I love it.

Here's where you guys come in.  I'm working on a couple of new blends.  They've been in my head for a very long time.  I woke up this morning grabbed my laptop and got to work.  I like to blend against the grain.  I like to go where some might fear.

To a beautiful amber fragrance oil I added jasmine sambac, rose absolute, rosewood, and black pepper.  The jasmine is very bold in this but seems to be mellowing as time passes.  I'm name challenged with this one and would love to have your thoughts and ideas.

The second one is a blend of this killer ginger, jasmine sambac, rose absolute, rosewood, amyris, and petitgrain essential oils and waxes. I'm stuck with this one too.

I would love to know what you think. ♥
