Aromagik Newsletter - November 2009

This month's new scents:
Celtic Moonspice - It's finally here! For those of you who haven't heard of this popular scent, Celtic Moonspice is a friendly blend of subtle spices kissed by a light sweetness. There's cinnamon, clove and nutmeg in there, but it's not as spicy as you'd expect from most spice blends. It's just a nicely balanced fragrance that is very warm and comfy.
Cranberry Orange Spice - Cranberries and oranges just seem to go together, and this blend is exceptionally nice. Throw in some satsuma, yuzu, tangerine, peach and hints of spice, and you've got a really terrific scent that's tart and spicy. (This is replacing my "Cranberry Orange Sorbet")
Gingercakes - This is so much more rich and complex than a regular gingerbread scent, and I just love it. It has top notes of orange, lemon and bergamot, balanced with middle notes of ginger, nutmeg, honey and clove, and rounded out with base notes of vanilla bean and cocoa. Please note: This is a fantastic fragrance for scenting your home, but the spice level in this scent may cause skin irritation so it should not be used in triple-scented products or perfumes.
Fresh Pineapple - I've searched for years to find a good pineapple scent that didn't turn funky or fade when you wear it, and I finally found one! This is a really nice fresh pineapple scent, with just the right amount of juicy sweetness.
Fresh Pineapple & Tuscan Cypress fragrance description A ForYourNose.com original blend I introduced this unique fragrance a few months ago for "home scenting only", and now it's available for bath & body products, too. This blend is amazing, if I do say so myself. The hearty, woodsy cypress is perfectly balanced by juicy fresh pineapple.
Raspberry Lemonade - This is another scent I've been searching for everywhere, and finally found one that didn't turn funky or fade when you wear it. This is a fantastic blend of sweet-tart lemonade and fresh raspberries, and it wears really well.

Last month's new scents:
Black Cherry & Vanilla - A ForYourNose original blend - So when I found this fabulously creamy & sweet vanilla and created my Vanilla Amber masterpiece, I decided to have some fun and see what else would blend well with it. This isn't your mama's Cherry Vanilla -- it's rich and delicious and you'll want to smell it forever.
Brown Sugar & Fig (Bath & Body Works type) - This is a really interesting fragrance that's both sensual and clean. This is not a sweet or bakery brown sugar scent; the focus is on fresh figs. Very nice!
Chocolate Amber (Bath & Body Works type) - This is not a sweet or candy-like chocolate scent. It takes the mysterious allure of amber and gently wraps it in sensual chocolate. I consider this a unisex scent.
Coco Mango Smoothie - A ForYourNose original blend - I took my already-fabulous Coco Mango scent and mixed it with a sweet vanilla to give it a creamy boost. The result is absolutely delicious, and it really enhances the coconut.
Patchouli Peppermint - My perfumer calls this fragrance "Hippie Christmas" but my minions weren't too keen on that name so I settled on Patchouli Peppermint, despite the fact that I had already found this swell graphic of Santa rockin' out. :) Patchouli fans will dig this groovy blend of patchouli, sandalwood and peppermint, rounded out with hints of berries and vanilla.
Pumpkin Crunch Cake - This fragrance is ONLY for Home scenting (Smelling Salts & Scent Sacks) - So many of the pumpkin pie scents I've tested are too heavy on the spices & the sweet pumpkin gets lost. This one is well-balanced and delicious! This is a mouthwatering blend of sweet pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, yellow cake, butter, pecans and spices. So yummy!
Sandalwood Acai - A ForYourNose original blend - Wow, what a combo! I took my ever-popular sandalwood fragrance and blended it with my warm and sensual acai berry fragrance and the result is very rich and sexy.
Sandalwood Amber - A ForYourNose original blend - I love my customers. This blend was suggested by one of my many wonderful customers, and I think it's just fantastic. It's sensual, mysterious and very, very sexy. If you like sandalwood and amber, you really need to smell how well they play together.
Vanilla Amber - A ForYourNose original blend - You know, I've tested numerous vanilla & amber blends from my perfumers over the years, and just never found one I liked. Finally it dawned on me: I needed to try blending one myself. The result is even better than I imagined. I chose a sweet creamy vanilla, which really takes the fragrance to a whole new level.
