Terri Michele is a new brand founded by Terri Weitzman, formerly of Fresh Scents By Terri, and Michele Kaplan. Their first scent is Shenandoah, a reworked version of Fresh Scents By Terri Breathe:
...they worked with top perfumers to locate the highest quality essential oils and reformulate Breathe to develop their debut fragrance, "Shenandoah". The name reflects the clean, water like qualities of the beloved classic.
Shenandoah's notes include bergamot, white lily, ylang ylang, freesia, lotus, sandalwood and white musk.
Terri Michele Shenandoah is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum or 10 ml Perfume Oil roll-on. It can be ordered directly from Terri Michele.
Oh, this scent's name is so evocative for me. I absolutely adore the Shenandoah mountain area. I'll have to try it for that reason alone.
I love that area too, although it's so developed now I hardly recognize it.
I live in the Shenandoah Valley…
I feel very ~*exotic*~ now
I adore Fresh Scents by Terri, I have a bottle of Dream with fig and vanilla (but I also liked the others) … it is absolutely gorgeous. It is the only fig scent to evoke the actual fruit, not the fig wood, not the leaves but the actual, ripe fig fruit. It is slightly spicy in a very sexy way. Lasts a long time and dries down really nicely. I am happy for Terri to develop new scents with her new brand, if they are suppost to be reformulated, better versions of Fresh Scents by Terri, there shall never be any words to express how nice they must be.
LOL! Your own regional fragrance 🙂
Perhaps they'll reissue the fig, too?
fresh scents by terri got horrible reviews in the so-called guide. i wonder if this is a reaction to that, changing the name and reworking the jus… just a thought.
IIRC, she had already started her “going out of business sale” before the Guide was published, and at any rate, seriously doubt the Guide could kill an indie business like that if it already had fans.
It sounds simple but lovely. I wonder if any one note stands out?
Robin, why is bergamot in so many fragrances, is it a fixative of some kind? I assume it a citrus vine. Well, I'm showing off my ignorance again. But you can't learn if you don't ask.

Bergamot comes from the bitter orange. Almost every perfume on earth has at least something of a citrus top note, and bergamot adds depth to other citrus notes so is frequently used as part of citrus blends.
Thank you so much. Ya learn something old everyday. I must start a bergamot farm. 😉

Well duh. I've grown it for years and didn't know the name — just that weird citrusy thing with the shiny leaves. Finally hit google images. I grow BERGAMOT. Suddenly my plants are cool and important to me.
Hey, cool! I didn't even know you could grow it here.
