When asked “ who is your favorite indie perfumer”, chances are Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s name may be at the top of your list. Dawn is a multi-talented, multimedia “artist” in every sense of the word. When I first started CaFleureBon, Dawn was one of our early supporters. Nothing has changed.
DSH was named perfumer of the year by Ida Meister, "whose nose knows" and was on Mark’s short list of 2010 as well. With few exceptions CaFleureBon has been part of every DSH blogging event and vice versa. We are both dedicated to the fine art of fragrance and try not to pay much attention to the politics in perfumery that a few bloggers and perfumers seem to want to perpetuate. In such a small 'community', united we stand and divided we fall. Our advice? Get a grip, it’s just perfume. It’s not breast cancer.
Dawn is a certified aromatherapist with over 20 years experience in designing regimens for clients. We wish those intent on perpetuating negativity in American perfumery would all donate and win DSH's donation to the CafleureBon blog-a-thon for the Libby Ross Foundation. More importantly we hope all our readers donate to a very special gift- a feeling of well being and enjoy good health.
DSH is offering a custom aromatherapy consultation. She will work directly with the lucky winner to create an aromatherapy regimen (which includes an oil essence – 1/2 oz, a 4 oz organic lotion, a 4.5 oz organic shea butter creme, and a 4 oz organic bath / body / massage oil ). Many times the best relaxation and most profound healing happens through a series of applications of oils that are synergistic and work to create a holistic balance. DSH writes, "I look forward to creating a well rounded regimen for you. (Only aromatherapy grade oils will be used, of course).
The full package is estimated at $500 The donation is $5.
This Post is about Loving You, if you don't you cannot love others. It's really feeling like Autumn; a time to change. If you are looking for six degrees of separation, this is the one post it's not included in…on purpose.
Editor's Note: This post is in memoriam for Minnie Ripperton who was an American singer-songwriter with a vocal range of five-and-a-half octaves. In January 1976 Ripperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy. By the time of diagnosis, the cancer had metastasized and she was given about six months to live. Despite the grim prognosis, she continued recording and touring. Ripperton was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, but did not disclose that she was terminally ill. In 1977, she became spokesman for the American Cancer Society. In 1978, Ripperton also received the American Cancer Society's Courage Award which was presented to her at the White House by President Jimmy Carter. She died at age 31 on July 12, 1979.
