Peace Pipe: Roxana Illuminated Perfume (peace symbol)
 By TomFrom Roxana Villa's email to me: She sent me a sample of the scent and it's luscious: the opening is sparkly citrus (I think orange and lemon, but Roxana has not listed notes as of today the 18th, so I may fall flat on my face on this one..) cut with vanilla, and the drydown features some of the smoky woods she does so well.On September 21st, the United Nations International Day of Peace, I will be launching a new perfume I have been working on for some time. It is inspired by Project Peace on Earth. Is it shallow of me to love the fact that I can both do good and smell great at the same time? In the interest of taking the high road, here are the links she sent me: Project Peace on Earth Roxana's Blog International Day of Peace Other blogs participating in the project: Bitter Grace Notes; Examiner, Cleveland; Examiner, Portland; Illuminated Perfume; Indie Perfume; Memory and Desire; Perfume Shrine; Scent Hive; The Non-Blonde.

What a beautiful project...and I think there is no better way to fully honor and experience something than to enjoy all of it's layers of beauty.
So, go forth and smell great. :) (Now to search out how to try some of this...you say "smoky woods" and I come following...)
