The Lipstick Page Forums Beauty Blog: Colleen's post has got me thinking... Colleen's post has got me thinking... Posted by Dain, Sunday, June 12, 2005 4:43 AM (Eastern) I've never tried the infamous SPAM, what if I were to? Hmm... my beloved Givenchy Organza Indecence has been axed (of course, I can find it all over the internet still, but in a few years? what then?), so why not take matters into my own hands? The original recipe, is as follows: S 1 part sandalwood P 1 part patchouli A ½ part amber M ½ part musk (dark) Of course, there is a variation with vanilla substituted with patchouli, which is probably what I will probably be doing (patchouli isn't my thing). And why not? Body Time (www.bodytime.com), Bigelow (www.bigelowchemists.com), and Essense Oils (www.essenseoils.com) sell perfume oils that you can mix to your heart's content. Body Time even makes bottles (with or without atomizer) and a perfume/cologne base. And why stop with SPAM? There's a lavender and myrrh mix I want to explore (maybe with a little vanilla)—an herbal earth-goddess scent, and I'd like a violet/iris perfume (sort of clean musk and purple floral thing) that actually suits me, and a crisp green citrus that has some warmth and depth to it, a really creamy warm gardenia (true florals smell very fake with my chemistry). Hmm... a whole new world to explore. It'll take some thinking, and some tinkering. I'll get back to you on this project! 0 Comment(s)    Email this post Rants, raves, and musings on all things cosmetic.
