Visited with CocoaNymph this afternoon to work out the final details of the packaging, put together a display of my Gourmand perfumes at the shop, and plan our event on Tuesday, when we will launch the 3 new chocolate bars!


This is going to be a fine evening of chocolate & wine tasting paired with the perfumes that inspired this unique chocolate collection. The molds are lovely, and look as if someone in the chocolate molding business was just sitting there at their drafting table thinking of a bar shape especially for us...

Just looking at those bars all wrapped up made me giddy with happiness... I just can't wait to share them all with you on Tuesday!

This presentation will encourage you to take charge of their olfactory world and pick a scent that truly represents who you are without worrying too much about what everyone else is thinking. You will discover it is not nearly as important as you may have thought!
And for the ladies who will be eavesdropping through the keyhole, we will give some surprising tips about how to use your espionage skills to pick the right scent for a man in your life, even if you hardly know him.
