Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 bonjour yet again, I spoke with Anya this morning and she wanted me to share what I'm doing: opening a Perfume Salon in my home here in Seattle. I love having a place where a room is devoted to perfume making, and a sweet place where clients and friends can chat and relax enjoying the perfumes from my collection, sniffing some essences, peruse my perfume books etc. It's a large room with a fairly high ceiling and a wide window to the west, so when the sun does shine in Seattle it pours into the room. In the southeast corner a shell capiz lamp glows over a shelf with gold coloured vintage Grasse perfume bottles just like the ones seen in many French perfume labs. My grandmother gave me a heirloom gold framed mirror that hangs above the shelf decorated with patterned paper on which my perfume collection is present. There is a pretty glass with perfume touches for clients to spray a sample on first if they wish before trying it on the skin. All my perfume flacons are beribboned with silk and individual labels. My copper table is lined with my essences and a gold tray with more samples and solid perfumes to try. Favorite books line the southwest wall area and a cool rug that has an abstract floral pattern on brown, lavender and gold centers the floorspace. My husband diligently placed track lighting with spots to highlight the copper table, the perfumes, Giselle, the model form covered in ravishing silk and fur coat, and bookcase with more goodies on offer. On the north wall hang my 3 diplomas from Aftelier Perfumes celebrating my completion of Mandy's perfume workshops. anyone in the pacific northwest who would like to visit, please contact me, the salon is open by appointment right now; in the future I may have selected days/hours open. my camera is currently lensless thus the written description here, when I have photos I'll post them on the website and send a link. the world needs to smell the difference between whats out there and what we offer! Centifolia certainly confirmed this! what we offer as natural perfumers goes beyond our ordinary lives, it's an extraordinay gift of beauty on many levels! breathe in beauty, Isabelle Aurel http://parfums.desireinsunlight.net 'where art & scent blend' 425.471.3060 'Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us' Sir Browne _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
