CaFleureBon Blogathon: Breast Cancer Awareness 10/ 22/2011 Joya Studio Candle + Draw for the Cause

 

 

When Frederick Bouchardy the owner of Joya Studio (and one of the three partners of the New York Elements Showcase ) recently sent me a message that Joya Studio would like to contribute  a "Gunpowder and Green Tea'' candle to our blogathon  for the Libby Ross Foundation, I was afraid no one would donate , as it has a skull and cross bones motif; his Halloween candle.  Iwas wrong; it is a symbol that  undetected breast cancer can kill and it has wonderful aromatherapeutic properties. Gunpowder and Green Tea's notes of shiso tea leaf (immune system), white mint (stress relief and general wellness), cape jasmine (calming, relaxing, sensual), calla lily,(used in many flower essences, and sicilian lemon (uplifting, refreshing, cheering).

I loved Sarah Ciat's beautiful sculptural art featuring a butterfly for "Orange Blossom and Pale Musk Home Fragrance Diffuser  Frederick and I met in 2009, when I lived on 90th Street in New York.  I was the first  person outside his Company to smell Composition No. 1 and No. 6, Joya's first perfumes. He arrived bearing gifts including the recently reissued Rodarte /Joya collaboration.

(I sent Frederick this Matisse painting as inspiration)

I loved the scents, but disliked the names. (I suggested he reconsider the number designations and made my case for No 1 to be renamed  "Fruits and Flowers" (Colette's Book).

  • I love that candle! Want.

    I read Flowers in the Attic, the whole series. I thought the writing was kind of awful, but I couldn’t stop reading it! I didn’t know we had lost her to breast cancer. So many!
