ShoeBitch - oh, I'm so pleased you got a result with Sottile! And what a perfect perfume to scent your cloud of hopeful possibilities!

katie, this was one of the three you recommended to me though a correspondence on your youtube channel. i got a sample of it from luckyscent, and it is divine. i am wearing it today and feel lonely for something new like love, this fragrance is the fragrance for a sweet new
straight from the heart sensitive romance. i would say i am wild about it, but theres nothing wild about this fragrance

ScentsofSmell, I've come the the conclusion that PW Tea Rose is just...perfect. It's perfect. It says "Tea Rose" on the bottle, and "boop!" there you are: in a rose garden. And shockingly inexpensive.

Ah, Perfumer's Workshop Tearose! Good call, Katie. This is like being surrounded by a gorgeous garden of multi-colored roses. Reach in your pocket and pull out ... petals, and lots of them! To know a rose is to love P'sW Tearose!

I know, linda! It's pricey! It's an artisanal perfume, not mass-produced, with fine ingredients, all natural, and it's a pure perfume oil. But even still, that's a lot of dough.

And I have to say, I was wearing my Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose on the other arm as I was writing my Sottile review, and damn! That Tea Rose is unremittingly gorgeous: a lovely rose that

130 dollars for 8 ml?? Katie, this is very expensive, I wouldn't buy it even if I had the money.

And I might change, Scott, just a little. Perhaps in increased saturation level for greater vividness.

What a great opportunity, Scott, both to meet Yosh and to be a part of the creation of a perfume. I've been hearing and reading plenty about Ineke's Field Notes From Paris, and am very keen indeed to try it.

Katie (and Nathan): I have actually met Yosh Han, who is a lovely, thoughtful, down-to-earth, charming woman. She exudes peacefulness. I had the great privilege of being part of a small group, which included Yosh, and a couple of other (lucky) fumeheads, who were invited by Ineke Ruhland to participate in the very early development of her latest release, Field Notes From Paris. To have been in

Nathan! Quite the Yosh coinky-dink with our posts today. I'm just on my way over to yours to comment. Meet ya there.

And yes, with Sottile, the loveliness is in the simplicity.

Thanks for the name-check, Ahsu, and Katie, I like your introduction to Yosh Han. The natural perfume oils can be really hit and miss (even among the Yosh line itself), but I agree that Yosh succeeds most brilliantly when she keeps it simple.

I checked out her Omniscient 0.96 a while back, and it was too Everything But the Kitchen Sink for me to handle. Sottile 1.61 sounds a lot more

Thanks, Ahsu, for the heads-up on Nathan's thought-provoking post. Here's the link:

Thanks for the recommendation-- My best friend *hates* perfume, but she loves me, so she keeps asking me to find something all natural and super-nice smelling. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to Yosh I go...

Angi, have you seen Nathan Branch's latest blog post about Trompeur? I hadn't really been up on the whole JT LeRoy thing, but I thought his post put YOSH's fragrance around it in context.

2009-10-30T07:58:02.289-07:00

Ok, you may have convinced me to try something by YOSH. I have forever held against her that she made a fragrance for JT LeRoy, "her personal friend," whom we all now know was fictitious. But then, we all put up with a lot of fiction around perfume (flowers that don't exist, space-age accords, etc.) so I guess I should finally give her a break.

2009-10-30T07:21:37.266-07:00

I totally agree that Sottile can be summed up by = tea rose + LOTV. When I first sampled it I appreciated most how uncluttered it was by other notes, and I liked it too, but moreso for the novelty of it. I haven't worn my sample again.

My favorite YOSH is Kismet, a nice narcissus and hay scent, grassy. La Contessa also has a few diehards, but I find it soapy and that cucumber note
