TallTayl Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 You know you have arrived when a perfume or attempts to copy your signature blends. At Faire I specialize in unique blends that match experiences. A customer came to me today showing me a perfume made by a neighboring merchant that attempted to be like my Macabre blend. It wasn't even close. But now I feel I have arrived. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color me interested. It is a nod to our dance macabre troupe at faire. According to lire, When the Danae arrives in town it gets cool, smells a bit smoky and dark with a hint of tobacco. I achieved that using tobacco essences, smoke and fire essences and a dash of willamette valley peppermint. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a sweet mint similar to candy canes. when we first describe the scent many wrinkle their noses. Once they smell, they "get it". Those who love the Dansers wear this on diffusers, as shampoo/conditioner, you name it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are black as respect for the danse. The only things I do not color black are the perfume, shampoo and conditioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
