This week's uncommon scent influencer over on Stories of Scent is mint.
You might be familiar with mint in aromatherapy but what about working with it in perfumery? It is actually notoriously difficult to work with in perfumery. Peppermint (Mentha piperita)? The one who is loud. Spearmint (Mentha spicata)?The one who has a tendency toward chewing gum. Watermint (Mentha aquatica)? The one who is difficult to find.
What's your favorite garden scent? I love my roses! 🌹

What's the process to self-publishing?
There are a quite a few steps involved, including the whole issue of ISBNs (ask me how I know... 🤔). If you don't even *know* what an ISBN is, you are definitely going to need some help! 🤯
Let me take away that stress while you concentrate on writing your bestseller. I can help you from the very initial *concept* of your book, through editing, and now all the way through self-publishing! Although my new website, Blue Garden Press, won't be live until late summer, you can hire me right now. Let's schedule a session to get you started on your journey!

How do you know that you are using aromatherapy safely--especially if this is your first time in using aromatherapy?
Become a student of the Botanical Aromatherapy School (with Sedona Aromatics), and you can download and print many safety PDFs personally written by our founder Sharon Louise Chapman.
This is just one benefit of enrolling in the Botanical Aromatherapy School!
Here's a quick look! This option really went over well at the recent wine festival that we attended (of course!). People were intrigued as to what was happening so came over and gave it a go. There were a few false starts😅but, with a bit of guidance, people got the idea and were amazed at all the different notes that they could smell.
These types of short articles and charts help the curious to figure out more before committing to a deeper dive financially. And my approach is not the same as most perfumers, so you can be sure of some unique content!
My favorite scent influencer has to be violet as it is so much different in its creation in perfumery compared to how it presents as a flower in the garden. I'd love to know your favorite scent influencer, too ⬇️😊

Ah, the 80s. Such angst, such love, such bohemia! If this resonates with you, you are going to *love* our latest release!
Our three mini perfume roll-ons celebrating three fabulous 80s movies - Pretty in Pink, Betty Blue, and Desperately Seeking Susan - are here. Grab some Pink Passion, Black and Blue, or MaGENta X - or grab three for a discount!
If you identified with the mercurial Betty in Betty Blue, we recommend trying Black and Blue (full disclosure, I had the movie poster on my wall during college and loved anything in French at the time...)
If you identified with Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, MaGENta X is going to be the perfume for you!
If you identified with Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, try some Pink Passion to bring back the love!
What's in the bottle? Three bold florals, each with a different twist; one is spice, one is sweet, and one is mercurial. If you can't decide, I'm offering 3 for 2 at the moment (including shipping).
These perfume roll-ons have an oil base unlike our other fragrances. However, this is perfectly suited to bold florals!
Over the coming weeks, I'll be talking more about each one on our social media feeds, so stay subscribed to learn more.

Sedona Aromatics: The Garden School ™ was created from years of learning and experience. It is not your average aromatherapy school! It is an unique aromatherapy school in that it is a “working” school with a working aromatic garden and onsite summer studio with plant distillation, plant projects, and custom blending projects. Its founder, Sharon Falsetto, continues to practice aromatherapy as a consultant, writer, editor, and custom blend designer, when called to do so, while also teaching and working in the Sedona Aromatics school and garden. Sedona Aromatics is located on a one acre (original pioneer) homestead property, just outside of Sedona, Arizona. Small workshops and retreats are held here several times a year for students to visit and learn about aromatic plants and oils, and to create their own aromatherapy blends either in the garden or summer studio.
If you prefer to study from home, the Linguistics of Aromatics ™ Program was created just for you whether you are wanting to learn to use aromatherapy for yourself and your family, or wanting to become a professional aromatherapist.
Sedona Aromatics is owned and operated by our parent company Sedona Aromatherapie LLC, which has been in business for over a decade, so you can be sure of excellent customer service, knowledge, and products, whichever path you may choose to take with us!
