I think the contrasts make it more rewarding. But I think it's useful to let the general public know about the special path of development -- the bitter opening with a sweetly redolent and easeful result. Yours and Adam's perfume became so rewarding (and lasting) especially because of the surprise gift of sweetness and pure beauty upon unfolding. Like the darkest chocolate melting into a creamy dessert that keeps the memory of its kick.indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-84186091524496866072010-07-05T08:33:24.581-04:002010-07-05T08:33:24.581-04:00Hi Monica,

Many of the good things of life require getting used to that initial tang. Then as you know sometimes you can go overboard!indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-61335651747906963182010-07-05T08:22:45.539-04:002010-07-05T08:22:45.539-04:00Lucy, it's the pandanus flower that gives the ...Lucy, it's the pandanus flower that gives the "radish-y" opening astringency. I adore it, and it is demanding, not a friendly, sweet citrus or spice that may be used as a typical top note, but it is most fitting to Kudra, who reveled in drenching herself in aromatics and making a statement.<br /><br />Pandanus is fascinating, because once the top note of it (because most aromatics have a top, middle and base note too) wafts off, it has a honey/rose drydown that is soft and comforting. This is why I love naturals so much!anyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-65156138193364908242010-07-05T07:58:31.933-04:002010-07-05T07:58:31.933-04:00Opiate, agreed !

I have known several people to never have tried an avocado, one Russian guy I knew said they were gross, because the texture was "like butter" and they "had no taste". Many natural scents are peculiar, yes, as are herbs "peculiar" bitter, astringent, aromatic, and wonderful...in their own way. btw, I'm not saying avocados are gourmet...and I never liked sushi...Monica Skyehttp://www.skyebotanicals.comnoreply@blogger.com
