Parfum Phyto: April 2011
http://parfumphyto.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Neriko is a traditional Japanese incense dating back to the 7th century, when women of aristocracy blended their signature scent to imprint their impressions on men. Back then men and women in court lived completely separated. The Story of Genji mentions incenses and their impression on Hikari Genji numerous times. From top left clockwise: kunroku resin, jinko, camphor, rose petals, sandalwood. The rose neriko smells like a fresh, raw, dewy rose to me. It's not the refined, F...

Parfum Phyto: September 2010
http://parfumphyto.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. This is Ranjatai, the most famous and important piece of kyara in Japan. The markers show where pieces were taken from it by shoguns and emperors. I listened to the scent of kyara for the very first time this summer. I'd read about it in Miyao Tomiko's 「伽羅の香り」or "The Scent of Kyara," and had been gifted a small sample of agarwood oil and pieces of jinko from friends, but nothing really prepared me for it.

Parfum Phyto: October 2010
http://parfumphyto.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Horse Hair and Mosquito's Leg. Fragrant woods, namely agarwood or aloeswood, that are used for kodo in Japan are getting very scarce. The price of kyara and jinko seem to rise yearly. I read somewhere that only ten years ago, top grade kyara could be had for 2500 yen a gram, about 1/8th of what it is today! Posted by Yuko F. Labels:laurie stern, puurfumery, rose agarwood. Friday, October 1, 2010. In Kodo (pronounced like kohdoh with long o's) the woods are classified into six c...

Parfum Phyto: November 2010
http://parfumphyto.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. Laurie at the entrance to her Puurfumery. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Laurie Stern of Velvet and Sweet Pea's Purrfumery. A few weeks ago. She was in the midst of preparing for Sniffapalooza's Fall Ball, but was kind enough to make time for me to chat. What a chat it was! Oils are organized by scent types. I've got to go shopping with Laurie! Laurie keeps an outdoor tub with running hot water! I'm putting a little bit on my wrist now. The perfume opens wi...
