Celebrating Summer Solstice Fragrantly ~ GIGGLE WATER ON CALFEUREBON'S TOP SUMMER SCENT LIST!

So excited to announce that our "GIGGLE WATER" Perfume made CaFleureBon's Favorite Summer Scents List !♥♥ (Two years in a row!!!)

Originally, I designed this scent for myself to wear to a special Summer night in the park performance of A Midsummer Nights Dream, that was being performed at the Barnsdale Art Park just up the street from The Jitterbug Perfume Parlour. It was super hot (LA Indian Summer style,)and I wanted a scent that would keep me feeling cool and refreshed, plus add something synesthetic to the texture of the play. I was thinking, “What would Titania waft?”... The scent of Orange Blossoms came to mind, as this is fragrance that has always transported me. I find it to be very magical and enchanting and it felt the perfect choice for a blast off point to my idea of "Wafting Titania." Plus it was a key note in my 'Solifleur Scent Palette Project,' that had yet to be tackled!



My "Orange Blossoms in Summertime," that temporarily became "Wafting Titania," has finally landed in our much anticipated Les Bohemes Collection with the official name GIGGLE WATER...

I was so touched when I heard from Michelyn (CaFleureBon's Editor In Chief) that she wore GIGGLE WATER on her "Honeymoon Night," when she recently tied the knot with her Fragrantly inclined Beau! I can’t think of a higher compliment than to be a woman’s choice in scent for such a very special night!

"GIGGLE WATER" AKA "Orange Blossom & Green Tea Private Blend" Top Spring Scent on Cafleurebon!

I am thrilled to be included as one of Michelyn Camen's Favorite Spring Scents on Cafleurebon!

Here is an excert from the article: "It is my vampy "day and play" scent all spring long. As layers of clothing are peeled off, my skin is exposed and by the sun. when a fruity floral is well crafted, it performs a burleseque on my skin. The "greenness' of the tea note is tempered with honey, a touch of gardenia and natural ambergris. Kedra uses four different Orange Blossom Absolutes."
