This is not just a grin: it’s a green grin... Green grass, green flowers, a green world waking up in the spring. A reviving, fresh scent, composed of the finest flower essences: Bulgarian and Turkish Rose, Indian Jasmine and Tasmanian Boronia, which is reminiscent of freesia. Grin is elegant and refined yet playful and romantic – like stepping into a flower shop, rolling in the grass and sniffing a meadow full of flowers!

In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

l'Écume des Jours is inspired by the perfect symmetry and profound beauty portrayed in Boris Vian's most praised novel by the same name. Cheerful Pianola top notes of cassis and freesia lead to Chloe’s deadly Lung Water Lilly. The melancholy base of green moss and watery marine seaweed reflects the tragic conclusion of the tale. l'Écume des Jours is a strange perfume of unusual harmony that inspires appreciation for the simple beauty that is found in all things – especially the Jazz of New Orleans...

My love for incense is not a secret, and only grows with time. I had so many more ideas in mind for the holidays, such as Solstice incense cones and Nerikoh that were simply not ready in time... But will be next winter! I was in the middle of organizing my perfumer's organ, when I had to handle an extra bit of lovage root, and decided to make a larger batch of the only perfume I've ever used it in. It's a perfume from my vault, quite a beauty for any incense and smoke lover, but only has a temporary name, which is partly why it was never released publicly. This is where you step in: I'd like your help in finding the perfect name to describe a perfume that smells like both incense and its smoke! This is a resinous, mostly frankincense perfume with a tad of Tibetan fossilized amber, with a bit of immortelle as well. I'm torn between three ideas: Incense Trail, Tariq Al Bakhoor, and Dance of Fire. Which one you think is best? Or perhaps you have better ideas? I'm open to hear them! And your participation will win you a chance to win the first bottle of it!

Since the lockdowns began, I've been working feverishly to restock my beloved soap bars, and add new offerings. Aside from tried and true favourites such as Vetiver Racinettes soap and Beach Lily, you will now find colourful soaps that smell and look good enough to eat, such as Black Licorice, Khulnejan, Film Noir. More recently I've also added scent-free soap infused with organic edibles such as fruit and veggies I've harvested and pureed myself, including Pumpkin (with nourishing pumpkin seed oil), Mango & Kombucha, Carrot, Mulberry (enhanced with proteins from Ahimza silk), yummy and gentle facial soaps such as Carrot & Chamomile, Cucumber & Aloevera (both green-grass-scented, and unscented), Banana & Poppyseed, Halva soap with sesame milk, and one of my absolute new favourites scented soap - Bird of Paradise soap, with mango butter, coconut milk, and fresh organic papaya and turmeric root, and so much more.
The pic below is of one of my baskets (woven from pomegranate shoots), filled with colourful soap bars.
