Katie,
Firstly, I would like to wish you a happy new year, and hopefully your dream fragrance will come true.
I was very happy to see that you enjoyed the last round of mod, and it even sounds like you are not the only one. I just want to take this opportunity to say that our phone conversation was very much a turning point, and that it shows how important it is to communicate and make sure that we are talking the same language.
I have to say that I am very impressed by your knowledge and you are right on target. Mod J is definitaly more balsamic aromatic: It is a combination of different resin like labdanum, peru balsam with geranium, coriander and thyme. Where mod K is more olibanum, musk and woody notes.
So for the next round and maybe the last, I am going to try to combine the best of these two mods and I will keep in mind the comfort of J and its saltyness.
I really enjoyed reading all the comments on the blog,
Talk to you soon,
Laurent.
I am really looking forward to this next mod. I knew that K was the strong arm in this group and again I think J will be a lovely helpmeet.
I had to look up what “helpmeet” meant! I am hoping for the same, but perhaps the other way ’round: K as a helpmeet for J. Funnily enough I do enjoy them as individual fragrances, so hopefully some happy marriage between the appealing aspects of both will be possible. We’ll see! It should be fun!
