I adore wood notes, as those who have sampled my first perfume, Eresia, will attest to. It is packed with sultry, powdery and smokey notes of guaiac wood, sandalwood and white oud, along with sweet tobacco and vanilla.. . .

They have their role to play in more floral, feminine fragrances too. The Mediterranean, my base and inspiration, has some ancient woods that lend themselves perfectly to florals. Cedar and cypress are two of my favourites. Devoto EDP, launching end April, is anchored with a Moroccan Cedarwood oil that has been aged for 7 years. It's a truly magnificent, rounded, grounding aroma that marries with and complements Devoto's jasmine and other white florals. My lab-office has been filled with these uplifting scents all February. I am impatient to share this next perfume. The cypress features later on in The Sicily Quartet and another season.

Roses, the eponymous symbol of V-Day! Wishing you

Roses, the eponymous symbol of V-Day! Wishing you and your loved ones a perfect Friday 14th and weekend. Devoto (meaning 'devoted' or 'the devoted one') is my second eau de parfum set to launch late spring. It's missing this year's Valentine's but this Sicilian Floral isn't just for one day only, but for a summer of loving to come. . . .

Two roses, a rare ethereal white and a more blossomy pink rose; two jasmines and a dry down of patchouli, cedar and musk. No top notes but a full-on floral from the start. Final blending today before it must sit a while, its many florals in dark embrace. . .

Final tests on Devoto today as I pick the modifica

Final tests on Devoto today as I pick the modification that will make the cut. Ballet or white tea rose? The jasmine with a hint of leather note in the dry down? A solifore jasmine? And whether to keep the lemony zing in the top notes? After months of permutations, today is decision day. This is truly the most exciting part of seeing a perfume come together. . . .

Devoto is a white floral musk eau de parfum - perhaps with that hint of leather! Launching late spring.

Time plays a complex role in perfumery, whether yo

Soon it will be spring in the Mediterranean. Some

Soon it will be spring in the Mediterranean. Some blossom such as delicate white and pink almond is already out. We've lighter evenings and a sharper light too now. I yearn for those early warm days when the water is icy still but the body can relax on warm stone water side. Sicily beckons for a spring break. It's the inspiration for my Quartet of perfumes so I need a fix of its lifeblood soon!

Some Eresia EDP are packaged and winging their way

Some Eresia EDP are packaged and winging their way across Europe today as winter finally arrives. There's a bitter north wind blowing icy air across the Med from the Alps and Balkans right now. It's at times like this one wishes those charming, faded doors of my old stone house actually fitted tight. Eresia, with its aromatic wood note dominance is redolent of the comforting aspects of winter; a warmth to envelop yourself in. Its gentle white oud, sandalwood, guaiac wood, vanilla and tobacco are made for this season. I am nursing a cold this week which is making progress on sniffing out the nuances of Devoto edp impossible! Its season, spring, is feeling a long way away. Time to embrace winter then....

As if a white floral perfume inspired by Sicily would be anything other than deep, narcotic and exotic? I am working on a suede, leather note to accompany three jasmines today. Opulent and mysterious. A perfect way to get the week under way.

I can't believe it's a month since I launched with

I can't believe it's a month since I launched with Eresia edp. January can seem a long, drawn-out affair but there has been so much more to do than I could ever plan for. It's been a boost in this wintry month to receive such kind support and comments on Eresia from Parfums C early adopters. Thanks to you, I feel this venture of mine is well and truly underway. . . .

This is a quick reminder that the special edition launch offer on Eresia ends midnight CET today; not an intentional coincidence with Brexit. A bitter-sweet end to January for me. The birth of Eresia and the end of an era that has formed my childhood, given me immense opportunities for travel and studying, as the UK withdraws from an entity I once worked for and whose mission I believe in. . .

On to other practicalities of today: the special offer gives you Euro30 off. And if you purchased a sample of Eresia, remember that the vial price is discounted from any 50ml flacon buy. Eresia is for wood-note lovers with its heart and base of powdery smoke notes and white oud touched with the sweetness of tobacco and vanilla. Perfect for men; perhaps for Valentine's?
