Description-Story: Quoted from Liz Zorn’s Blog

Riverwalk A Patchouli Project

“……The whole thing  played nicely into my latest obsession of all things “RIVER” , so I named it Riverwalk. Not so much for the water itself, but for the smells that catch ones nose as they walk along the banks. Here in my neck of the woods I can walk out my front door and be on the river trail in ten minutes. The river air (along the trail) is intense with the smell of  fresh greens, moss and earthy decay sprinkled with intermittent wafts of sweetness as wild flowery things come and go throughout the season. To be a lover of rivers is to be inspired by all of it’s history and beauty. Mark Twain had a love of rivers, and I understand the obsession. The water gets in the blood, flowing through the body like a wise Sage from ancient times.”

Availability: Riverwalk the perfume (eau de parfum) will be available on the Liz Zorn Perfumes website very soon.

#5 Bohemian Spice by April Aromatics

Description/Notes: Bohemian Spice changes its olfactory color like a chameleon. A sunny smile with Sicilian orange initiates a wonderful trip through a land of ease. From the opening exotic spices are mingling with the citrus fruit. In the heart woods and oriental spices blended with incense from Oman and Highland Lavender. Sandalwood and vetiver dance to the music of a tambourine, wild and free. Patchouli connects us with mother earth and gives the scent an immense power.The use of a special soft and subtle gourmand vanilla accord, a unique creation of April Aromatics, brings a strong tenacity into the base and helps to carry top and middle notes along the journey. This accord is the secret of the rich and lush character of this amazing scent.
This scent is infused with Citrine and clear Crystal.
Availability: Soon!

#6 Happiness by Perfume By Nature

Notes/Description from Perfume by Nature’s Website: I (Perfumer Ambrosia Jones) chose Tahitian Lime and Fresh Sicilian Lemons for my Happiness blend as they are both light and fresh. Tahitian Lime especially is a lovely, interesting citrus with an unusual and refreshingly soft tang to it. These are combined with East Indian Sandalwood, used in Indian Medicine as an antidote to melancholy for centuries. Sandalwood is India’s sacred perfume. Said to open the mind and aid meditation and to soothe and calm the troubled soul, it’s soft, buttery scent is both calming and healing . These were then bedded on a base of Patchouli, natures best perfume antidepressant. Patchouli is used in Aromatherapy for anxiety and to “ground” a person. It is the perfect oil to chase away fear and stress, and to leave a person feeling safe and happy.
The end result is a perfume that is fresh, soothing, happy and uplifting.

“BodhiSativa is what I feel is the best of balancing acts: the rich aged patchouli, the fruity-floralcy of the cannabis accord and an exotic wood / incense drydown.  Oh, and there are little hints at animalic nuances throughout to give it even more interest.  I like that some of the judges smelled these notes as leather and others as chocolate.  We know what the secret ingredient really is… and according to Alice B. Toklas, it goes well with brownies” DSH
