Perfumery!

It's been 2 weeks since I blended my first perfumes, and they've done the majority of their aging. I'm sure they will continue to change and blend over the next couple of months, but in more subtle ways.

I've also decanted them from the bottles, and would like to ask for 2 volunteers one more volunteer All volunteers found, thanks! (I'll probably have more perfumes later to try!) to sniff-test them, try them out, and let me know how they work out over time from top notes to dry-down and let me know what works for you, what doesn't, and what suggestions you have (if any). I don't actually promise that they're any good, as they're the first ones I've done and I'm working with a very limited palette at the moment. I know what I think of them, good and bad, but I need alternate noses to compare to. The blending oil is fractionated coconut oil which I think may be technically non-allergenic but if you're allergic to nuts, I wouldn't risk it.

I can bribe you, perhaps, with something from your Amazon wishlist?

New icon!

New icon (and mostly posting to test if the proper icon shows up on LJ)! It's from Zoo Borns, from this post featuring Amur tiger cub triplets in Pittsburgh.

ETA: Yay, it showed up!

Urg

Finally realized that the low-grade headache I'd had all day that didn't respond to ibuprofen was actually a migraine. Which would explain my inexplicable sleepiness last night and inability to get out of bed until 8AM this morning. Perhaps one day I'll realize that inexplicable sleepiness usually means a migraine arriving.

Anyway, now to just kill time until the Relpax kicks in.
