StacyK Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Wouldn't that be NOCO brown sugar? the "black pepper" question reminded me of something I had wanted to ask. Do you have a way to make a sugared "black spices". I love scents that have that note in them. Like the black spices in Evil in Carnation or in Carbon Black (at least the musk in that smells like it has a touch of spice. or is that in the Black Sugar already?

Memorare Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I can do almost anything people want. I do have the ingredients to make a Sug Basil - if you would like it, order it, and I shall make it for you! BTW - Sweet Dill is another note that is quite beautiful if you like herbals. Tarragon is lovely too. Do you have Rosemary?? That is one of my favorite scents in the world but I've never seen it as a perfume oil. I'd feel so guilty to order it though when you're making a bazillion of these already but it'd be nice to know for the future, maybe for a PE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's SPICY Brown Sugar in that case, and is comprised of several brown sugars, cinnamon and amber. Black spices?? I'm not sure what you mean by that. Evil in Carnation - it's the carnation itself, it has a black pepper quality to it naturally. Carbon black has no spices in it. I do not have anything called "Black Sugar". Maybe you like the dark Indian attars? They are sandalwood based and incensey - perhaps you are reading the smokiness as spice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have it in EO form, which makes it very fragile and burns off quickly. The primary quality of it is the camphor, which dissipates in the air very fast. It's good for medicinal and magickal properties, but does not make for a very hearty perfume note, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for explaining that for me though, I had no idea the essential oil is so different from the plant! Though I probably should have guessed it, I'm pretty sure rosemary oil is one of the ingredients in the baby version of Vicks vapor rub. I always wondered why I couldn't really tell it was in there!

cinnamonmel Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sugared licorice baby is sooooo cute!! I personally would love a powdered or white sugar. Brown doesn't work for me, generally so a single would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it close to that lovely strong bitter black tea note that you used in my Inna's Gadda Da Vita PE or is it softer like for example in 221b?

In the description for Evil IC it lists "Black Spices" so I thought it meant something spicy black was added to make that zippy dark spice vibe I get from it. Oops, I was referring to the Sugared Black Musk, didn't mean black sugar. I thought there was was a light touch of a gentle spicy "something" in Carbon Black. It must be the Attars. I just love that!

luna65 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 white sugar I think Pure Sugar is supposed to be the closest to this?

Potion Master Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Pure sugar is a mixture of all the main sugar varieties - white, pink, brown, caramelized and powdered. They are better together than on their own - the combo gives the whole more body and lasting power. Danna may have added more black pepper to amp what was natural in the carnation, I do not know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Pure Sugar? If so, what about it does not work for you? Oh, I'd love some Sugared Tarragon! I will add it to my next order! Also what does the Sugared Black Tea smell like? Is it close to that lovely strong bitter black tea note that you used in my Inna's Gadda Da Vita PE or is it softer like for example in 221b? Asking because I'm just curious, as I am pretty sure I will hoard it either way. I believe I used an herbal tea in 221b. And maybe a little more exotic black tea in your PE. The Black Tea I am using as the centerpiece for this line smells pretty much just like English Black Tea. Slightly bitter until sugared, but clear, stimulating and airy. It's hard to describe...I use black tea notes to create - space - between other notes, it lends a feeling of airiness in my opinion. ETA: Looked it up, for 221B I did use the Black Tea I am using in this one, but I also blended it with White Tea so it'll be a little different.

Potion Master Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 will there be a BROWN SUGAR only scent ? The best representation of a true brown sugar scent without any spice, IMO is the Brown Sugared Pecan. You really don't smell the pecan - it's just adds depth and dimension to the brown sugar. It's delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Atrars in the Carbon give me a (light) spiced feel. It's so great. I do have a question about the Sugared Green Musk vs the Sugared Greenery. I read the descriptions but I was wondering if I could get a little more info. If I wanted a wet leafy green musk would those go together to achieve that? Which would have the wet green component that LP Green has? Edited August 26, 2014 by StacyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green musk is a good base to layer nature notes with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 It amazes me how excited about these John, Jess and Izzy are. They are expressing MEGA LOVE as they are being bottled! Izzy's faves are Warm Milk and Sugar - he says it smells EXACTLY like the breakfast kids were given in his native country as a child - fresh warm milk straight from the cow with sugar. Brown Sugar Pecan - omg, smells so good we all had to go and eat something sweet after smelling it together, it makes you hungry! And Sugared Earth. He says, "These are amazing, how do you DO this?" I said, it's what we save the cat whiskers for, Izzy! You pass the whiskers over the potion and make a wish and it turns out exactly how you want! Jessica's faves are Cherry Blossom, Dogwood Blossom, Peony, Jonquil, Jasmine...she loves all the fresh florals. John is loving pretty much all of them. He is delighted when he guesses correctly...I don't tell him what it is until he tells me. Every day he has a new fave. Today it was Orchids and Neroli. He slathered himself in Neroli first thing this morning. It's so much fun how much JOY and sense memories these seem to bring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cat Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Speaking of joy and sense memories.... is there any possibility of a Sugared Linen?

halo0073 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oh that is good to know Mara. I ordered Pure Sugar before I knew it had brown sugar in it which usually doesn't work for me. Now I'm excited again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potion Master Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 File this under, WHAT IN THE FLAMING HELL WAS I THINKING!, but I did it! All hundred and twenty-something Sugars are now complete. EVERYTHING is now ready to ship on demand...until the next group of suggestions gets ordered, that is! With my master computer out for rescue/repairs, I can't do any more lables for a few days, but will get back to exchanging the "generic" ones with more lovely people pictures as soon as I am able. We are all really proud of these over here, they came out even better than expected. We love them and are having a great time with them - hoping you enjoy them as much as we do. We can't wait to hear about the creative combos everyone comes up with. And as John said today - "Now everyone has the tools to make their own PEs...LIVE THE DREAM!"
