Other videos focused on Crivelli Tubereuse Astrale (Quentin Bisch), Ffern Spring 2024 (Elodie Durande) and the entire range from Eau D’Italie. Here are links to all the episodes,…
I am so happy to share with you the fact that I started a new business about which I am very excited. I created a brand of perfume called Romya, which is made only with natural ingredients like essential oils and pure alcohol. In the future, I will also make perfumes alcohol free.

Perfumes are fragrant liquids that are used to enhance or mask the natural scent of the body. They are created using a blend of aromatic compounds, natural or synthetic, and often contain a mixture of essential oils, fixatives, and solvents.
Perfumes have been used for thousands of years and were originally made using natural ingredients such as herbs, flowers, and spices. Today, perfumes are often made using synthetic ingredients that are designed to mimic the natural scents of these ingredients. They come in various forms, such as eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and cologne, each with different levels of concentration and intensity.

My favorite part of spring when these Privets, the honeysuckles and wild hedge's perfume dominates the breezy air 💙 Staying in it's perfect shade.

Valentine’s Day is next month so I thought I’d share with you how I make my Romantic Body Spray. Feel free to get creative and make a signature scent all your own.

Many years ago while in college I fell in love with lavender. The silvery leaves, delicate (appearing) fragrant blooms, and unique habit made them a unique perennial in the world of white winters. Two years ago I made a dream come true by buying a couple plants and praying they would survive the open not-so-protected space I had to plant them in. And here are the results!
This year was a decent harvest, next year, I hope even better. Aaaaannnd this year I added another three plants! So year after next...you get the picture. :) I can hardly wait.
