Bohem candle is now in my Etsy shop and website!



OK, so finally I have gotten around to taking the first pic of my new Bohem candle. I have been trying to get to this for a month now and with my move and life getting in the way, I have not had much time. Bohem (like the perfume) is a fabulous blend of Tobacco, Amber, Patchouli and Vetiver. This combination is so unique, warm and sultry that it will be perfect to burn on a warm summer night. This is the first time I have used Tobacco or Amber in a candle and I am so thrilled with the results. The perfume has done well and I hope the candle does too. I hope to have pics of the votive and travel tin done this week. Anyone who reads this post and wants to try the new blend can just mention the code "blogbohem" in my Etsy shop/Notes to Seller Section and get %15 off the 8oz. size listed!!

Moving and New Creations

So Spring has gotten off to a busy start. Although, most days haven't felt so Spring-like, I am still feeling a bit inspired to create new things and dive into my library of scents. I have several absolutes that have been calling to me for a while; one of those being Immortelle. This is a very difficult one to work with since the consistency is so thick and sticky, but I am determined to work with this exquisite element.  This could prove to be a difficult task as my base for perfumes is Jojoba and not perfumer's alcohol.  I am excited about the challenge though.

Due to the popularity of my "Bohem" pafum, I am now working on the candle version.  It will not contain all of the same notes, but will be similar with Blonde Tobac and Amber making up the bulk of the blend.  I think it will become one of my more popular blends. I plan on having this candle available at the end of May.

I will also be packing up my studio at the beginning of May and moving to my new digs in North Seattle. This is a good move for me as I am very limited on space currently and still have many of my personal items in storage from my last big move. I am really excited to make this move.  My hope is that with the move I can focus more on making new products and getting my wholesale customer base to grow.  Wish me luck everyone!

Those of you who haven't signed up for my newsletter (click the button on the left side of my blog) might want to do this soon as I will be offering some great moving discounts not available to everyone.  I will also have some special moving sales in my Etsy shop as well as my website over the next few days.  Stay tuned!!!

In love with Amber!




I have to admit that lately I am obsessed with Amber.  Not the synthetic stuff found so frequently in incense and other products, but real Amber Resin.  I have, in my library of scents, 2 amazing Ambers (both from Eden Botanicals).  They have inspired so much creativity that I had to share some of the Amber-inspired products currently for sale and soon-to-be for sale.  First, "Bohem", which is the latest in my unisex natural perfumes, now has a bit of amber rounding out the Oakmoss, Patchouli and Tobacco.  At first, I loved the earthy and woodsy notes without any help from this resin, but when I added a small amount to the blend it blossomed.  Now complete, "Bohem" has been getting rave reviews from those who have ordered it and tested it out for me.  The blend is sexy, sultry, manly yet feminine.

Second, is my brand new bath salt blend with Amber, Rose and Cocoa.  Initially, I made this blend for Valentine's Day and to celebrate romance (this is a VERY romantic blend). I will be keeping it in my Etsy shop and website for a few more months depending on how well it does. This blend is truly sexy (I keep using that word here folks!) and part of my attempt to create perfumed baths made with unique, rare and precious oils.

I am currently working on a blend that is heavily Amber and Rose.  This blend is actually one I am creating for my sister and will probably be sold at a later date. We will see how this one develops.  

Lastly, my candle line will soon carry a tobacco and amber blend.  I wanted a tobacco based blend for the longest time and the 2 together are incredible. So, look for that one by end of Spring.

OK, so as you can tell, I am obsessed!  If you haven't tried the Amber Essences from Eden, you need to.  They are the best I have purchased and will inspire you too.

Check out all the new products I have listed on Etsy and my website.  Lots of goodies!!
