Gang of Four

The four grammers, as in four grams by weight of pure fume extrait, are inching their way into the shop and getting gobbled up. Clearly I'm going to be doubling my formulas. Next step for these little rectangulars will be to find better packaging than the pillow boxes. Also, I'm pondering how to make them look different from every other niche perfumer thats using them.

So far in the E-shop:

The Looking Glass

Greg and I ventured over the Santa Monica Mountains yesterday for a meeting at the Hotel Del Mar in Santa Monica. Those of you who read this journal regularly know that I am on the constant search for bottles and containers that meet my aesthetic and environmental criteria without needing to order 10 to 25K units.

Well, I'm excitedly to report I finally may have found an alternate source for my liquid perfume bottles and sprayers. Nothing is for sure until I have the actual order in hand, but, there seems to be a bright light at the end of the long and crazy road of uber niche, conscious, natural perfumery packaging.

In general I haven't been getting out of the studio much due to orders. Yesterday wasn't the smartest day to be out and about, however, the day was gloriously beautiful and a treat to look out on the blue ocean and clear sky. Santa Monica is one of my very favorite places to go and the outing in the fresh air did both of us good a world of goodness...besides the thrilling aspect of new bottles!

Shapeshifting

The rectangular glass stopper tops on the glass flacons I use for the liquid perfume extraits are just about done and at the moment I haven't been able to secure more. However, I have three other shaped tops that are made for the bottle.

There are now two options when purchasing 7 grams of perfume extrait in the flacon. The first is the same as before, the second is the same bottle but you now have a choice on the shape of the ground stopper top. Since these tops are a bit taller, the bottle filled with perfume will be sold without the pouch, simply packaged in the purple box with the new mini cards.
