Greetings from an undiscolosed location on the East Coast. Since I’m here for the Martha Stewart Radio Show on Tuesday, I flew in a day early to start planning our Fall and Christmas 2010 line (can you believe it?! Fall lines already?!). I spent a full 8 hours learning and working on the building blocks for the perfumery and am completely euphoric about the entire planned 2010 line.
First we went through and smelled the individual fragrance building blocks, comparing base notes like Tonka Bean, Madagascar Vanilla and Indian Sandalwood. Then, we started creating from the ground up.
My nose was definitely fine tuned with the entire day of sniffing and I smelled individual notes that I’ve never smelled one-off – the most exquisite jasmines, the most ethereal roses and rare wild mugeut.
I had help for the day; a wonderful friend and early Bramble Berry tester came in from Conneticut to help me sort through all the fragrance options. I was lucky to have her because my nose needed a rest after a hundred plus sniffs.
Tonight I head into the heart of the city where I stay just a few blocks off of Broadway. Tomorrow is Martha Stewart Radio (call in at 1:30 EST with any questions you have about soaps and toiletries). After the workday, I have a super fun evening planned with a good friend (and Bramble Berry customer) to go see the musical ‘Billy Elliot.’ I listened to the soundtrack for most of the plane ride and am interested to see the choreography to go with it.
