Tender Flower

Inhaling the breath of sweet viola odorata every day, lately. Most people aren’t familiar with these delicate but potently fragrant little blossoms. They hide under the leaves, so I stroke my hand carefully over the clumps to see who’s too shy to raise her head!
The feeling of sweet violet’s scent is like someone who empathizes with all your cares and tender feelings, then gives you a taste of grown up violet candy full of love and sympathy. Mmmm.
These will go into the current enfleurage, and some of the leaves will go into yet another type of aromatic extraction.

(Not my best photo here, but soon will have better conditions for giving glimpses of the plant life in Spring)

It’s been forever since showing up here, but scents & a few surprises are
appearing soon:

A dewy, peach faceted rose lip balm; new tuberose and new gardenia enfleurage perfumes; an osmanthus-incense perfume; return of Breathe in Love Balm; and, incense.

Spring perfumes.. violet, hyacinth and daphne.. now live.

New & potently soothing for crabby skin: Leaf. And it is packed full of the hardest working ones. Look at the gotu cola below, post extraction. It began as bright, emerald green, which now is in the beaker.
