Wah!
April 30th, 2007
Yet another day with no substantial fragrant material on Aromascope. I swear I haven’t been neglecting it (for it’d be akin to neglecting your own child for me). I’ve just been spending most of my days setting up the new shop and getting home with enough energy to drag myself to bed. The shop is due to open May 1 (yippee!), and I can’t rave enough about it (yes, I’m biased but why not?) Besides, I’ve discovered carrots can actually smell good enough to be worn on skin - Fleur de Carotte! An amazing refreshing vegetable scent. Heck, we need more of those - in the land of all the fruity-florals, vegetables have become rather underrated, wouldn’t you say? OK, there’s more to Fleur de Carotte than just carrots - it also has the notes of tarragon, cucumber, apricot, rose, and ginger. Anyways, pardon me for my partial absence. I’ll be back!

Plus that carotte bottle is so cute! I wish they sold it in a slightly smaller size (baby carotte?)

I am sure you are THE BEST person for the job ! They should know how lucky they are in having someove with so much knowledge and enthusiasm. Before you know, you’ll be consulted about new fragrances. If I lived anywhere near Chicago (there’s an ocean apart…), I’d be definitely coming popping in for a visit.
Good luck !

Well, if it weren’t such a dream job I’d be annoyed. In a totally selfis and babyish way. Whaaahh! I want my daily Ina!!!

Tell us more about this dream job! And yes, Eau de Carotte is absolutely worth it, particularly if you layer it with the Pineapple Fizz –you get the best of both worlds.

March, I know! But they do include a small spray bottle with your big one.
7. Ina | April 30th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Silvia, thank you! You’re so kind.
Well, I sure feel lucky working there!
8. Ina | April 30th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Tamara, yes, in perfume! I’m excited!
9. Ina | April 30th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Tom, you’re so cute! Thank you! I’ll do my best to fulfill on your wishes.

SniffQ, basically, I’ll be selling L’Artisan fragrances at the new shop.
I’ll try Fleur de Carotte layered with Ananas Fizz. Thanks for the idea!

I thought Fleur de Carotte (love it!) is discontinued? I’ve been searching for it high and low here in Switzerland!
12. Ina | May 1st, 2007 at 7:50 am
Dina, I believe it is but some stock is still left over. We have 4 bottles.
13. Flora | May 1st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
I am so excited for you with the new store! Yay!
14. Ina | May 1st, 2007 at 10:50 pm
Flora, thank you! I guess we’re not quite open yet. A few last minute things to finish up.

Go for it, Ina! I know that this will be a wonderful career for you, and I wish you unlimited success.
Hugs and love!
