News from the Nose: Coralle, Mother's Day and an Open House

Dear Friends,

After much procrastination, spring has finally arrived to Vancouver! It took quite some time, so instead of waiting around for spring to come, I packed my suitcase and went to Tel Aviv for a month to celebrate Passover with my family and soak up on some sunrays. Visiting my homeland at this time of year is always inspirational. I enjoy everything ­ my family's company, the food and the myriads of colourful, fragrant flowers. It is essential for me to "get back to my roots" and stay in touch with who I am in order to continue to create. I feel very fortunate to be able to do so, and I truly appreciate your patience while I was away.

Now I am back, and have some exciting news to share with you!

* MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL: One perfume for Mom, one for you for half the price!
* NEW PERFUME: Coralle ­ Scent from a Tropical Coral Reef
* SPECIAL EVENT: Ayala Moriel's Open House

MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL

Mother's Day is coming in two weeks, and since many of you are mothers yourselves, I would like to give you a little treat "on the house":
throughout the month of May, buy a second perfume for yourself for half of the retail price! This way, you can treat yourself and your mother for a very special all-natural perfume. Simply email me with the title "MAMA"
after placing your order, and I will refund your order accordingly.

NEW PERFUME: CORALLE

Coralle is centered around Ylang Ylang, the tropical creamy-yellow coloured tree flowers with a heady aroma that is like no other ­ heady-floral, sweet fruity and creamy-smooth. Only the softest, sweetest and creamiest ylang ylang essences were chosen for Coralle, including ylang ylang concrete and ylang ylang absolute from Comores Island. These were paired it with the sparkling aldehydic juiciness of clementine and grapefruit. The heart includes the fruity, full-bodied wine-like aromas of Geranium bourbon and Davana. Sweet vanilla adds a tropical charm and is tampered by a hint of vetiver, creating the olfactory illusion of sun-bleached driftwood.

Coralle takes me to a soft sandy beach and a skin-caressing sun. I lean on a trunk of driftwood and let all the worries of the world dissolve in the salty ocean breeze and sink into the sand. I dive into the turquoise water to explore myriads of coral colours. I sundry my skin and wear nothing but bright lays of tropical flowers ­ orange, pink, red and pure white. They scent the air around me, connecting me to the things that make me the happiest ­ beauty, nature and scent.

Top Notes: Ylang Ylang Oil, Grapefruit, Clementine

Heart Notes: Ylang Ylang Cream, Geranium Bourbon, Davana


Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla, Bourbon, Vetiver


Available in Parfum Extrait and Crème Parfum.

Coralle


Coral Tree, originally uploaded by Ayala Moriel.

I’m proud to introduce to you Coralle – my newest addition to “The Language of Flowers” soliflore collection.

Coralle is centred around Ylang Ylang, the tropical creamy-yellow coloured tree flowers with a heady aroma that is like no other – heady-floral, sweet-fruity and creamy-smooth. I chose only the softest, sweetest and creamiest ylang ylang there is, including ylang ylang concrete and ylang ylang absolute from Comores Island, and paired it with the sparkling aldehydic juiciness of Clementine and grapefruit. The heart includes the fruity, full-bodied wine-like aromas of Geranium bourbon and Davana. Sweet vanilla adds a tropical charm and is tampered by a hint of vetiver, creating the olfactory illusion of sun-bleached driftwood.

P.s. The coral necklace in the image above does not come with the perfume. It is a family heirloom passed on to me by my ocean-loving grandmother. Her two daughters always wanted it, so to avoid hard feelings between them, she gave it to her one and only grand daughter - me :)


Reviews on BitterGrace's Blog

Visit BitterGrace's Blog to read reviews of eight of my perfumes, in two sets:
Ayalitta, Espionave, Palas Atena & Razala
Rainforest, Epice Sauvage, Bois d'Hiver & Autumn

As an aside note, I am always surprised of the "orange" reaction Epice Sauvage gets (not only from BitterGrace - also from other reviewers and customers). There is not a drop of neither citrus nor citrus flowers in the formula. It's not just missing from the website description, it's simply never made it into the juice. My only explanation: the coriander oil. There is something citrusy about it, even though it's a spice. Another possible explanation: many of us learned to associate orange with spices such as cinnamon and cloves because they are so often used together. Nevertheless, I find it very peculiar!
