When I first heard about the Natural Perfumers Guild Outlaw project my mind immediately went to oakmoss absolute. I knew this was one of the sensitizers and I really love using it. It is a wonderful natural and I would miss it dearly if it were gone from my “palette”.
The idea of having a perfumer take us “Behind The Bottle” and the concept of The Natural Perfumer’s Guild Outlaw Perfume project are almost a match made in Heaven.
That is why I chose to ask JoAnne Bassett to describe her creative process in the composition of Amazing. In the material she sent out with her samples of Amazing she stated that she started off with a foundation of oakmoss and over the course of ONE afternoon of blending ended up with Amazing. I had to find out the story
I asked Ambrosia Jones of Perfume by Nature to give us a peek into her creative process as she developed Craving for the Natural Perfumer’s Guild Mystery of Musk Project.
“Musk to me has always been about craving…it is about longing and animal passion….real, animal, natural….which is why “Craving” had to contain real scents, notes that reminded me of things I loved and craved myself….I didn’t want to create a clever perfume, I wanted to create a scent that made people feel passionate…It’s about smells I love, smells that make me feel happy, sexy, satiated….”
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has created fragrant jazz with her work on The Mystery Of Musk project and it is beautiful music of the most fragrant kind.
If you would like to take the same journey I’ve described for yourself, all of these versions are available on Dawn Spencer Hurwitz’s website (https://www.dshperfumes.com/ ) in 30% perfume concentrations. I found all of them to have excellent longevity and modest sillage
