Cinnamon (Spicy)

Cinnamon is used as both a spice and a medicine. As a spice, it flavors breads, cereals, fruits and desserts, and is often added to chocolates, coffees and teas. As a medicine, it has been used to cure colds, to treat digestive ailments and toothaches, to increase blood flow, and as an insect repellent.

Cinnamon is truly versatile and adds a bit of spice and spark to your scent recipe. It has been valued through the ages and highly prized as a gift fit for a king. It was known as a sensual perfume in China and Egypt as early as 2,000 BC and is even mentioned in the Bible. Our cinnamon is warm, and strong enough to add pizazz and depth to any blend.

Try cinnamon in a mix of bergamot, honeydew melon and green apple for a warm, fresh, lighthearted scent that speaks of flirtatious innocence.

Blend it with your favorite citrus, floral, sandalwood and musk to create a scent especially for women who love life!

Add it to lavendar, mimosa and oak moss to make a sexy scent for men.

Mix it with our rich vanilla and coconut to create a wonderful winter holiday scent, or mix it with one of our berries, add a little Naked and voilá, you have a fun summer scent. The possibilities are endless!

Coconut (Fruity)

Coconut is native to tropical areas. The coconut tree has been called the "Tree of Life" and the coconut itself plays a significant role in a nutritious and healthy diet of the islands. Called "Summer in a Bottle," coconut fragrances are delicious, exotic and comfortably tropical.

Coconut is by far my absolute favorite fragrance. I have used it in every single recipe I've created for myself. Why do I love it so much? Because it is a wonderful blending scent. It is very light and helps to round out the other fragrances in your recipe without changing the overall scent.

Want a tropical feel? Add coconut. Want a scent that's great for summers on the beach? Add coconut. Want a fragrance that is ever so slightly flirty? Add coconut. It mixes well with...everything!

You're in for a real treat here. Our coconut is too delicious for words.

Hope for Tomorrow

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You've probably seen a lot of pink ribbons around the past two weeks. I have a friend, Mary N., who passed away from breast cancer a few years ago. Even though she was 20 years older than me, she was still way too young to go. I wanted to do something to honor her and to help raise awareness.

As my contribution to this wonderful cause, I have created a special fragrance called Hope for Tomorrow—a light fruity blend of Passion Fruit, Coconut, Asian Spice, Egyptian Musk and Heliotrope. I think Mary would like it.

Passion Fruit: 5 parts
Egyptian Musk: 5 parts
Heliotrope: 4 parts
Coconut: 2 parts
Asian Spice: 1 part

Geranium (Floral)

Geraniums are prolific bloomers and come in a spectacular number of colors and varieties. They also come in a variety of fragrances, such as lemon, rose, apple, peppermint, nutmeg and others.

Our geranium is a true geranium scent—romantic and feminine. As a middle note fragrance, it rounds out your recipe. It works as a great mediator scent, acting as a common ground when blending two very different scents together. It balances recipes with really light delicate scents and really heavy, deep scents, bringing the two together without affecting the overall fragrance too much. Geranium is great for blending with other florals for added depth and dimension.
