We are working on some changes here at the ranch — and as you can see, things are a wee bit of a mess. We will get it straightened out as soon as possible!

 

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things June 28, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — winnow & sift @ 9:49 am

22802 Perfumer Yosh Han, whose name means “fragrant”, mixed her first scents for a pirate shop. She has elevated the olfactory presence of Lemony Snicket, and participated in an international perfume event known as “Sniffapalooza”.

Does this sound like the beginning of a novel?

Well, Yosh has concocted scents for books, too: one for JT LeRoy’s “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things” and another for William T. Vollman’s treatise on violence–a perfume called Carnage.

Yosh will design a custom perfume just for you or your favorite someone. What would such a scent cost? Maybe two-thousand bucks? Maybe that’s not too much for what would surely be the most romantic, whimsical, and novelistic experience a lover could give?

Too rich for your blood? Fear not! The whimsy is available in all price ranges.

Buy a bottle with an intriguing name like Stargazer or U4EAHH! for 130 bucks, a set of samples for 30 bucks, or a single sample droplet for 6 bucks, all from Luckyscent

Or, for free, you can read the perfumer’s enchanting notes at Eau de Yosh, where phrases like “trans-aromation” and “aromascape” might make a cowgirl consider trading in her lifelong campfire-smoke-horse-hay-saddle-leather stank for something a bit more refined.

 

Spring Break April 2, 2007

It is spring break for cowgirls. Time for square dancing and lemonade. Time to bake a pie. Time to take a walk in the mud and smell spring. Time to swing on the porch swing and wonder if the moon is full tonight or tomorrow night. See you next week!
