Sonoma Scent Studio Yin and Ylang ~ fragrance review
This month, independent perfumery Sonoma Scent Studio releases a new fragrance named Yin and Ylang, whose concept and inspiration were provided by Michelyn Camen of CaFleureBon. Yin and Ylang features “beautiful floral notes that meld into a woodsy drydown”: bergamot, blood orange, soft aldehydes, beeswax absolute, ylang complete oil, jasmine sambac absolute, tuberose absolute, rose damascones, ginger CO2, Mysore sandalwood oil, oakmoss absolute, amber, patchouli, vanilla and musk.
I was intrigued by Yin and Ylang’s description and notes when they were first announced, because I happen to love ylang ylang and I’ve enjoyed many of Sonoma Scent Studio perfumer Laurie Erickson’s previous floral fragrances…
A bit of toasted sugar with a touch of black pepper
But I do remember her scent...Her smell was a mixture of her powder puff, a bit of toasted sugar with a touch of black pepper, lipstick (which used to have this intoxicating smell in the 1950s), whiffs of tobacco and Juicy Fruit gum.
— Linda Rodin on her mother's scent, which inspired her new fragrance, Rodin Bis. Read more at On Beauty | Linda Rodin’s Memory of Her Mother, In a Bottle at the New York Times.

New ads for Omnia Coral (did she kick off her heels at the top of the ladder? she obviously swims in her jewelry) and (below the jump) Omnia Amethyste.
