Mixing business with pleasure...whoever said that was a bad idea-think again!

I am running the final tests on a new product line, 100% Natural Scented Bath Crystals.

There are three different perfumes;

  • Rain Forest, with notes of Honey Myrtle, Sweet Marjoram and Antique Patchouli.
  • Garden of Eden with notes of Neroli, White Lavender and Atlas Cedarwood.
  • Temple of Luxor with notes of Coriander, Ginger, Rose and Vanilla.

These are all about the experience of bathing in perfume. It is recommended that the mood is set in the bathroom before hand with candles and music. The bath temperature is important too. Have it just right before you add the Crystals. That way none of the precious perfume is wasted before you are ready to step in.

I want to tell you of my experience with the first in the line:

Rain Forest

I didn't have the luxury of having the music or the lighting but the perfume alone was enough to take me to another world. The honey myrtle top note had the effect of being uplifting and clearing at the same time. I could feel my lungs opening up and my head clearing as though I was breathing in the purest fresh air. The marjoram was deep green and alive and sits on top of the antique patchouli in the same way as the ferns sit on the damp forest floor. The antique patchouli is the best money can buy and it is mellow beyond belief. It was bathing in the perfume of pure life and when I closed my eyes I imagined I could hear the birds and the creatures of the rain forest chirping and chattering. The experience was purely magical.
Rain Forest is a pure celebration of life and being.

So who was it again who said that business and pleasure don't mix well? Because they were wrong. That bath was probably the most pleasurable business I have ever done.

Shelly Waddington to Teach Unit at Natural Perfume Academy

We have a new addition to the Natural Perfume Academy's year long Natural Botanical Perfume course starting in May. Shelley Waddington is going to teach a unit about Isolates. "The use of natural isolates is a new cutting edge trend in natural perfumery. This course is designed to allow the perfume student to take advantage of this new trend by providing a basic understanding of what an isolate is, how it is produced, and how to incorporate isolates into their own perfume compositions. The student will also receive a comprehensive bibliography for personal reference. Upon completion of this unit, the student will have a basic understanding of natural isolates and will be ready to begin blending using these fragrance materials. A kit of natural isolates will be available at the store and is highly recommended for the course."

A stress free existance and a perfume blending evening

It's been ages, I know, and I apologize to readers for my absence. I have been following up on my goals for 2009. Main goal... to make it the best year yet . To achieve this as you can imagine is no easy task in today's world! I have been reading and looking after my family and the rest can just go and take a hike because I ain't buying into anything that raises my stress-o-meter out of the zero zone! When I was reading I found out some very interesting stuff about females. Women need a hormone called oxytocin to feel good and to lower our stress levels. The more we have the better we feel. We also need something called serotonin to effectively cope with normal day to day living in a nice happy mood. Women use up serotonin twice as fast as men and men store 50% of their serotonin for emergencies. Men are also able make new serotonin twice as fast as women. For me the key to a stress free existence is to make more oxytocin and find ways to make my body create serotonin
