Fragrance suggestion

[Shannon]

Yes it would be a good idea to have a cologne for AM/SM/WM. I'm wondering if you are going to sell it worldwide Shannon?

It is unlikely that we will be selling it worldwide for regulatory reasons and expense, unless we did an oil base. I don't like that idea because measuring it out is impossible for precision with a roll on bottle, and applying with a dropper is the only other option. Not really one I like, regardless.

But having one cologne for everyone using AM/SM/WM is only going to overuse that one cologne, and then nobody will enjoy it. So I'm working on doing more than one, but they will be limited batches in some cases, like Black Velvet. What I had in mind was for some of the more challenging ones to make, having a yearly "vintage". I make one batch of a specific amount of the stuff, and once it's gone, it's gone. Less challenging and difficult to make stuff, such as Fresh Woods #6, would probably be available freely at all times.

The rub is making each batch smell like the last, because the things that use natural components are never the exact same from batch to batch when I order more. Two of the absolutes I used to formulate Black Velvet smell nothing like what I received when I ordered enough to make a large batch of it, and the resulting juice is not even close to being black Velvet, regardless of the fact that I used the exact same formula to make it... and you know me. If it's not exactly right, it does not go out the door with my name on it.

As for the oils, I think an oil base is possibly the only way we could hope to sell it worldwide. But I vastly prefer a dropper to a roll on, specifically because that gives you reasonably consistent dosing options. Oil base doesn't project as much as alcohol, but it does last significantly longer. It also tends to create an "aura" effect around you.

I guess we will see, depending on what specific challenges we encounter moving forward.
