Dear Friends and Customers,

In the Spring of 2007, we held a contest for you, my Esens customers and friends, to name our Spring Signature Perfume. Richard Byrd of Bisbee, AZ won with the name Ocotillo Moon

We all had such fun with this that I want you to help me name my Summer Signature Fragrance that will be launched in June 2008. Please submit up to three names by April 25. I will select the top 5-7 that are unique, refreshing and appealing, and I will list them for you to vote on in my May newsletter. 

The winner with the most votes will receive a bottle of the Summer scent along with a choice of a custom fragrance or gift certificate (a $150 value). And, if you have your own web site, it will be featured both on my web site and in the June newsletter.

Your name suggestions will be the inspiration for the new Esens Signature Scent. I am so excited to hear from you!

Contest Guidelines and Name Submissions!

Responding to a Customer's Question

After Stephanie received her custom fragrance that she called "Forever Stephanie", she wrote: 

"I just got my fragrance. I LOVE IT! I can hardly believe it. I can't wait for my husband's reaction...and others. I'll keep you posted. How do you do it? Do you have a 6th sense you go by?"

My response: "I'm so glad, Stephanie! Thank you for letting me know. Yes, my process is largely intuitive. I really try to listen to my customer's words, for one. I spend a fair amount of time simply and quietly reflecting on the customer (sometimes for several days), almost like a meditation and I form the intention and wish to create the best scent for them. When I am in a clear space such as this, that is when the "magic" happens and your scent formula comes to me almost as a breath."

The next time you are in a shop that does "custom fragrancing" observe how most will have you pick 2-3 scents to mix or they will have assorted pre-mixed blends. This is not the same as the ancient technique of having a genuine perfumer custom-blend an average of 7-12 distinct fragrance notes for you and you alone.  To have an Esens Fragrance is a rare thing indeed; there are only a handful of us who have been trained in this mystical art.

Tax Relief Special Continues through April 30th
It's "that" time of year again and many of us are stressed. Esens is offering a 25% discount on all custom fragrances and gift certificates through April 30.  If you've been holding off receiving a custom fragrance for yourself, this is the perfect time to indulge and honor yourself! Consider purchasing a personalized gift certificate for a friend's upcoming birthday or a holiday. Now $75, regularly $100.
