LOL!!! I just saw your post on the EF reference about wanting the oil and I was just going to post here that you should bed, plead, offer a relative for trade, etc., and maybe she will!

Is that a typo on "bed, plead,...." or do you mean "beg, plead..."????

SNORT!!!!!! OMG, I HATE the auto fill in / correct on this iPad! It's put me in more than a few embarrassing situations with trying to guess what I was going to say and I never notice it until it's too late!

That one is pretty much gone for good but we'll see what happens in the future.

SS,

Have you tried Shoikan Grove? While it doesn't have the amount of evergreen/fir notes in it as EF, it certainly is in the same family and is a wonderful scent!

Rob--That autocorrect is a dangerous thing. I don't think my obsession has gotten to the point where I would bed others for perfume oil, but I would perhaps trade a relative, hahaha...

I have Shoikan Grove and enjoy it very much for the colder months. I feel that as compared to EF, SG is a more "smooth" scent whereas I like the clear, crisp pine note that EF has with berry and resin lying underneath. I have to stop describing it because it's making me want it in the perfume oil again!!!

Angela - I know you mentioned that Manor would most likely become General Catalog, I just wanted to know if this was definitely the case and if it will be available in all its current product forms. (I never want to be without it!)

Samengage, Manor will always be available in perfume and I will try to keep the ganache and glace available frequently (there may be brief periods of it being out of stock but it will become part of the General Catalog).

Yay! Thank you, Angela.

Hi Angela:

Here's a quick question for you that I hope isn't overly complicated to answer. May I ask where you source your frankincense EO from? I've learned through correspondence from another etailer that frankincense trees are actually becoming a threatened species. I love my Travelers perfume, but I couldn't buy more if I knew that I was contributing to the loss of ecodiversity, since frankincense is one of its main components. Thanks in advance for any information you can offer about this.

Hi hun, not a problem at all. My Frankincense EO that I use in Travelers, Basilica, Inquisitor, Seance and Scrying Smoke comes from France. The endangered varieties that I am aware of are Omani, Ethiopian and Somalian. I do use another variety called Frereana (not endangered to my knowledge) in the Shoikan Grove blend.

Thanks for your prompt reply to my question, Angela! I appreciate it.

Hi Angela, out of curiosity, will any of the new winter collection scents have agarwood/oud as one of their notes? I have a bit of an oud obsession at the moment...

Morning, L4L!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the perfume oil is gone. I do know that a few months ago, Angela surprised us all with a release of EF in bar soap and salts.

I'm sure she'll chime in here about it.

THX dear!! G'mornin to you too!!!

Enchanted Forest salts are not going anywhere! I just have been so busy with the fall and winter collections that I have not had a chance to make any but will in the future.

You know if you stopped making them, I'd need prozac or something similar, right??

Hey~ I have a question that's been on my mind for awhile. Do you use synthetic musks? Also, what is Egyptian musk made of? When I try and look it up I only find make your own with rose and patchouli

Totally synthetic to both questions. I don't use any animal products like that.

Oh, good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They are one of my top favorite SS products! Please make some soon.

I thought so, I just wanted to make sure~

Angela- you need to release a Winter version of Window Box to help with Winter colds and stuffy noses. It's the ONLY thing that has been able to open up my cemented shut sinuses!

BTW- I'm using no other SS products until I can smell again! I refuse to waste them just so other people can tell me how good I smell!

Ha! You need my Eucalyptus bar soap! That thing is potent. It has a real cooling effect on the skin and is pretty potent though. That's why I stopped selling that and the pure peppermint soaps I used to make...was worried someone would hate that. I know some of my stuff (Window Box) might also have a cooling effect, but I don't think it's that potent. I used to make a Peppermint and Eucalyptus bath soak and it would make you freezing cold in the bath but was unparalleled for pain relief!

Ahhhh! Stop tempting me, I love bath products that have a cooling effect! One of my all-time favorites is good old Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. Angela, I think if you make some we definitely won't hate them.

I LOVE EUCALYPTUS!

A Peppermint/Eucalyptus BATH SOAK!? Ok.. I'm all over these. All you need to do is put a disclaimer on the product warning of the cooling effect and stop worrying that someone may not like them!

BTW- Window Box has quite a cooling effect... the first time I used it I was like "OK.. WHO THE HELL PUT ICE CUBES ON MAH JEWELS?!?"
