I cannot describe how exciting it is for me to have this opportunity to work with you.

I adore cardamom and saffron, and would love my scent to be centered on these two notes. These would be soft, velvety spices, as opposed to \u201cred hot\u201d and \u201cdry\u201d. To achieve that kind of softness, to balance the spices, I believe that iris, with its delicate, smooth, rooty quality, might be a great ingredient to use. I think that a little (and I really mean just a little) vanilla might also be necessary in order to achieve the kind of velvety softness I have in mind for this scent. I also would like the fragrance to have a certain sensual depth, that is why I also imagine musk as one of the notes. Again, this would be a soft, understated note, simply serving as a background for the spices. Finally, to complete and further balance the composition, the drydown would have notes of sandalwood and perhaps cedar.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nTo sum it up, the notes in the scent would be: cardamom, saffron, iris, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, cedar. It might also include cinnamon and amber for added spiciness and \u201cfuller body\u201d as well as violet to enhance the iris note. But in this case, I would rely on your judgment whether these extra notes or any other notes might be needed.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nVelvety, warm, spicy, sensual are the descriptions that I would like for my scent to evoke. This would be a golden, candlelit perfume, enveloping the wearer in the smoothest embrace. I would love for this scent to be sensual and romantic, and, yes, sexy, but I also want it to be easy so wear, in other words I would like it not to be too heady, too heavy, too overwhelming ... too demanding.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nI am undoubtedly drawing inspiration from some of my favorite perfumes. I want a fragrance that would be sensually-musky like Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle, sweetly spicy like Safran Troublant by L\u2019Artisan, exquisitely floral like Attrape-Coeur by Guerlain, and velvety-woody like Bois des Iles by Chanel\u2026all the most wonderful qualities of my favorite fragrances, combined in one glorious scent, my Holy Grail\u2026<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nAnd that brings me to the question of the name\u2026I am a member of a wonderful site called Makeupalley.com. It is a place where perfume addicts like me meet and chat about perfumes and write reviews. On that site, a perfume that one considers to be the most favorite and\/or the best of its kind is called a \u201cHoly Grail\u201d. For example, one would say something like, \u201cBois des Iles is my Holy Grail scent\u201d. Or, \u201cMusc Ravageur is my Holy Grail musk perfume\u201d. Or, \u201cHermes Hiris is my Holy Grail iris\u201d. So\u2026I thought of naming my scent just that, <strong>Holy Grail<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"12\" id=\"image9\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/05\/clear.gif?resize=1%2C12\"><br \/>\nThank you again!
