LURK perfume...

we are happy to now be carrying LURK perfume.

i found LURK on my long hunt for rose and sandalwood perfume, which is one of my favorite scent combinations.

LURK perfumes are organic and handcrafted in new york with love.

we are carrying the following scents:

RSW005 - Warm sandalwood and earthy rose produce this androgenous scent. Smooth with a crisp citrus finish.

PRJV1 - Expansive layers of jasmine and rose intertwine with fresh petitgrain. 

AS01 - Notes of cedarwood, tuberose and sweet rose come together with a hint of spice to produce this slightly viscous yet subtle scent. 

BS003 - Dry woods mix with crisp citrus notes and sweet bergamot to produce this effervescent yet balanced fragrance. 

TBP V1 - Sultry florals blend seamlessly into a base of resinous black pepper. An antidote for the fragrance jaded.

2013: the year of the snake...

happy new year!

welcome year of the snake: Peace, Prosperity and Wisdom.

you were born in the year of the snake if you were born in the following years:

1905*1917*1929*1941*1953*1965*1977*1989*2001

a friend gave me this poem and i thought i would share it:

i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what I said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen
and twentysix and thirtysix but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me

here is to a wonderful year of living...
