Vireo (Part 1)



PART ONE OF A THREE PART REVIEW

Are you one for scents that tells a story, a scent that goes beyond top, middle and base notes, scents that are alive and has a journey that takes you to a far away time and place, scents that lives on? If you are, you've come to the right place because this the first installment of a three part scent journey into vireo's world. I enjoy this new space on ETSY, her energy draws me into her space, her description takes me to what she sees and its just magical.






Coco Violette



Her description for this is almost edible and it sure is, its supple and sweet feminine without the flowers but captivating and cozy. This scent is yummy with notes of blood orange, cardamon, violet, Cassie for a touch of spice, coco absolute for warmth, and vanilla for a little sweets, my only wish for this scent is for it to linger a little longer and guess what she listen and now it comes in a more amped up version. I would imagine if I could make Violette ice creams these would be my ingredients. Yum


Smoke Follows Beauty


Dark and moist, green and lush, tantalizing mossy twigs. It wraps up together in one to create this breath taking rich scent. With notes like hay, Guaiacwood these two are at the beginning of this scent and as the journey goes on I get what might be the Lapsangs souchong (Vireo infusion), and at the end sandalwood and vanilla takes it home. Long lasting, stayed with me all day.



Madagascar & Tahitian Vanilla Oil


Yummy Yum Yum goodness I have never smelled a vanilla infusion so rich, sweet, syrupy, dripping caramel yumness. Wow this takes me to someplace good I wanna taste it it looks edible and smells delectable. She sent me a sample of this and I had to get a vial for my stash.



I enjoy these creation and will be on the look out for new listing on Vireo.


Coco Violette $12 1/8 oz dram vial

Smoke follows beauty $9 1/8 oz dram vial

Madagascar & Tahitian Vanilla oil $9 1/8 oz dram vial

Busy Bee

I have been a lazy and busy bee these days, family and friends are going to fill my home this summer starting on Saturday, so I am busy cleaning house and its hard work and then the heat drains all my energy but I still love you my dear sun.



I plan on going thrifty to get a dining table but the boys don't enjoy my style for strange and crusty looking things, so they try to talk me out of it all the time. They love new and shiny while I love old and vintage. My dad and I went to Home Goods last weekend and I pick up an wooded art for my wall on sale for only $10, two mirror with wood around then for $5 each and a small picture for $2 I live for a sale by the way, he was like where are you going with that I was like it looks vintage and used so I will buy it thank you.



I need to attend to my garden and the flowers they are being neglected because on the weekend I spend time with my dad and sisters along with G, so my home and yard do not get the time and attention it deserve but at times I just want to get away from it all and that is where the laziness kicks in. I think the sun hits my home the hardest so everything that I plant dies from the blazing sun, gots to find shade to keep them safe it can get pretty hot here in Florida blazing hot.



So now that summer is in and what I cannot go to the beach because of the oil spill are you freaking telling me that my summer will be beach less? What fun is summer if iIlive in Florida with great beaches and weather and all I can do is look and do not touch? What about our health come on get it together if you destroy everything that God creates what do you think will happen to you in the near future.



New scents are coming in the mail this weekend i hope and i just wanna smell hurry up mailman hurry. Two need discoveries on ETSY Vireo Perfumes and Midnight Gypsy Alchemy.
