@AftelierPerfume @prs_org @sydbotanica Thank you, Mandy, very kind
@AftelierPerfume @prs_org @sydbotanica Enjoying your book the Museum of Scent, and reading E. and Alchemy. I'm trying to make perfume from Austin roses, using coconut oil desodorized and mixing with ethanol at the end. Not easy to get the same scent as the original one. Have you tried enfleurage? Written a book? Thk!
@AftelierPerfume @prs_org @sydbotanica Can't wait to watch! I'm about halfway through Essence & Alchemy and I'm loving it so far ❤️
@AftelierPerfume @NYBG @AbbevillePress Hello! I read your book some time ago and do I remember you talking about a particular mosque that baked musk or civet into its bricks or am I just imagining things?
I've learned you can't strategically lower your expectations enough to never be disappointed in life. Disappointment is a season!
For #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re looking at historical figures, living icons, and women impacting their local communities in a profound way. Here are four amazing women creating change within their own communities, whose efforts have resonated nationwide. 🧵🪡👇
@AftelierPerfume That looks fabulous. I could nearly smell it from here.
So honored by Women’s Day feature with all these fantastic female perfumers! @ amongthescents “The Queen of Natural Perfumery: Mrs. Mandy Aftel is one of the leading fragrance makers in the Artisanal Natural Perfumes” -- Thanks so much Simon! 🙏🧡💜
.@StephenKing recommends this "uplifting, underdog story" which he says will probably be one of his favorites of 2024 👀 Check out how a band of entrepreneurs are reviving clothing manufacturing in the U.S. 🧵 AMERICAN FLANNEL by @skurutz is out 3/12! bit.ly/3RPocoG
The power of music
If that doesn't get Sharona’s attention, I don’t know what will.
@AftelierPerfume @KQEDForum @alexismadrigal I have your book and I am enjoying it. I have been making perfumes with my students this year. I am also interested in making perfumes using roses, I grow English roses and other scented roses as well. Thank you.
@KQEDForum Really love the episode on fragrance and the chemistry of scent by @AftelierPerfume
Yes! From @MichelleFrancl’s new book “Steeped, The Chemisty of Tea.” When someone says “Only consume what your grandma would recognize,”point them here.
@KQEDForum @AftelierPerfume Memorable scents from my youth: The sharp scent of marigolds from my grandmother's back yard. Lilacs -- we were magically able to buy a lilac tree from a nursery in Sunol. The powder my mother used, whose name I forget
@KQEDForum @AftelierPerfume I can't stand the cloying scent of star jasmine, which is always planted in abundance. Is that a poop smell too?
@KQEDForum @AftelierPerfume "still" = distillation apparatus
@KQEDForum @AftelierPerfume Another memory: The Science Shop in San Jose (a victim of the pandemic) always had a perfume still on display, for extracting essences.
