~Blooddrop Conversational Hearts~
Who needs sweet and mushy messages, faking your way through yet another Valentine’s Day, when what you really need is to get rid of this person? Blooddrop Conversational Hearts say it more succinctly, more eloquently and nicer smelling than you ever could!  Some companies might reject such messages, but Blooddrop embraces break-ups to preserve your time, money and sanity! You can thank Blooddrop later. (Please note that the fragrances are much nicer than the message and soften the blow to your partner’s heart.)

For the person who just keeps asking and asking and pestering you, NOT EVER says it like it is.
Lush peaches, velvety pink roses, soft woods and benzoin.

I’M GAY
It’s curious how you ended up in this relationship in the first place, but it’s time to be honest about all the putting off, saying how many times you have to get up really, really early and all the numerous headaches and migraines. Or maybe you just need to lie a little to ease the break up.
Atlas cedar, plum blossoms, tonka, calamus, and dry grasses.


THE PITS

If you’re partner can’t see how bad it is, then tell him or her!
Ruby red grapefruit, blood red rose, neroli and a touch of bitter greens.

~Love Songs~
After last year’s Valentine’s Day perfumes, I realized there were so many other great songs that I wanted to commemorate in scent form, so here are a few that decided to honor this year. If you aren’t familiar with any of these songs, I encourage you to look them up and give them a listen!


Just Like Heaven (the Cure)
A crystal clear, airy, dreamy, watery scent for this song with a touch of fingers on skin for the first time.
Water accord, ocean air accord, white tea, rose de mai, jasmine sambac, valerian, white cognac, lavender and calamus.


Lips Like Sugar (Echo and the Bunnymen)
Kisses! Kisses! Kisses! This is a sticky, sweet, playful blend to match this song.
White chocolate-covered marshmallow and vanilla cookies.


Melt With You (Modern English)
This song is totally timeless and remains utterly awesome. Of course, it is a heady, intense, melting fragrance.
Cocoa absolute, coffee bean, tobacco absolute, and a blend of vanilla creams and sugars.


Tainted Love (Soft Cell)
Tainted Love is one of the most ultimate “it’s over” love songs and is as equally timeless as Melt with You. I created a passionate and powerful blend for an equally passionate and powerful song.
Red musk, South American musk, oakmoss absolute, tobacco absolute, Bourbon vanilla, vetiver, matcha tea and a touch of anise.

~Other Limited Editions~

Café Oblique
Mon dieu! The competition across the boulevard from Café Zazou! And they put liquor in their coffee! Quel horreur! Non mais! C’est incroyable! Imported Jamaican coffee beans, Madagascar vanilla, chai teas, Irish cream whiskey, frothy milk, chocolate syrup, Antilles spiced rum, and imported American oatmeal cream cookies for dunking. Ouais enfin, Café Zazou thinks this place is an atrocity!

Good Gyne
No woman looks forward to the day she has any problems, health scares or diseases with her girlie bits and, yet, there are many, many issues that affect our lower parts all throughout our lives! In fact, it’s probably harder to find someone who has had no problems that someone who has! This scent was created to celebrate and honor our vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries and all the other parts in between! My husband and I have created an expression and that is “good gyne.” Whenever I come back from a visit with the Ob/Gyn, he will always ask, “So, do you have good gyne?” I wish good gyne for all of us! I have formulated Good Gyne with ingredients that have been associated with women’s health one way or another. That said, this oil is not meant to be ingested or applied to your lady parts! Good Gyne has a soft base of vanillaed baby powder with  rose absolute, pink lotus, clary sage, Egyptian geranium, jasmine sambac absolute, baby tea leaf, watermelon, and chamomile.

Lumme in Finnish means “water lily.” This scent is a soft, ethereal, aquatic blend of white amber, white tea, Bulgarian rose absolute, pink lotus absolute, benzoin, pink grapefruit, palma rosa and has a gentle touch of bergamot mint and lavender. This scent was especially created for Tiina.

Delectable Gel Moussant

Glunfurgenknoogeen Berry Mousse de Bain
The Glunfurgenknoogeen Berry is a mythical berry that legend tells is found beneath the Midwinter snow at exactly 2:34am next to the Pont des Petits Pas in the Dutch-Franco isle of Glurnglurn Furg. Stranger, yet, is the fact that no one has ever found this isle except for a rare, talking, furry, arctic butterfly that only one boy has ever claimed to meet. Even stranger is that the boy stated the butterfly seemed a bit inebriated at the time and doubts that the accuracy of this arctic Lepidoptera’s claim is sketchy at best. All the while, this berry is compared to the common blackberry but much more magical and candy-like. For you to decide!

L'Ecurie Blooddrop
L'Ecurie Blooddrop (translation: Blooddrop Stables) is a new series of rotating, limited edition equine themed scents. I will be featuring equestrian themes, famous horses of myth, antiquity and contemporary history, and anything else horse-related that I’m inspired to do a scent for. Horses have been a part of my life the minute I could pick up a crayon and put a ballerina on a black circus horse to playing with horse models to my first riding lesson to my first horse show to my first horse (beloved Zennadu) and years upon years of shoveling the best poo in the world! I hope you will enjoy my celebration of all things equi-centric! Scents will be available as supplies last. This is an on-going adventure, so there are no specific dates.

Bucephalus
Bucephalus was Alexander the Great’s furious war stallion who carried him in many a battle. He has been preserved in memory having been portrayed in numerous paintings and sculptures. It is believed he died in 326B.C.E. during Alexander’s last battle and was buried in the currently known town of Jhelem, Parkistan, which Alexander had formerly named Bucephala in honor of his formidable mount. This scent is a regal blend of red Egyptian musk, cedar, labdanum, Dominican bay, iron-distilled patchouli, vetiver and ho wood. It was created to imitate the glossy, sleek coat of the dark stallion.  SOLD OUT.

Filly

Kelpie
Kelpies are mythical Scottish water ponies. They are believed to wander around lochs and rivers and lure people to them with their sad, wet state and on to their back. The pony then drags his or her victim to their drowning death deep below the water’s surface. Soft, milky black tea darkened with dry cocoa and aged patchouli.

Merrylegs
Merrylegs is the kind, sweet pony in the novel Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. This is an equally jaunty, fun scent of fluffy marshmallow, blackberries, blueberries, figs, angel food cake, raspberries, peaches and vanilla musk.

Pegasus
The great white, winged stallion who lives among the gods at Mount Olympus and gallops across the night sky among the stars. His scent is pristine, windy and wild.

Elixirs pour l'Homme
Blooddrop Mens' Fragrances
Specifically created  pour l'homme, but can certainly be worn by la femme, as well.

Academic Absolute
This is Blooddrop’s first gentleman’s fragrance. It has been named in honor of my scholarly male friends, regardless of their field of study. It is a handsome, elegant scent with a blend of classic ingredients: amber, vetiver and lavender.
 
Wood & Stones
Requested by a good friend, this gentleman’s fragrance is inspired by the scent of the forest. Wood, stone, earth and cool shaded air. Two mosses, vetiver, spruce, wild rosewood, cedar wood and a good handful of rich loam.


~Current Scent Menu List~


At Denny’s After Rocky
The usual food trip after the RHPS brings a group of all sorts: some Goths, some SCA-ers and Gamers, the really odd old guy who still might live in his mom’s basement and that really hot guy you’re too shy to talk to.

Bright and fresh. Tea, yuzu, pink grapefruit, lemon and a wee bit of pineapple.

The Zodiac Club
I absolutely loved the Zodiac Club in the movie “Bell, Book and Candle.” My husband and I said if we ever opened up our own club, that’s what it would be called. So in honor of the bar we probably won’t ever open, I’ve created this scent. A melange of the esoteric and bohemian: ginger, peppercorn, a backdrop of smoke and sweetened clove cigarettes.

  


The Possibly Not So Accurate
Historical Liquids for An Assortment of  Dis-Eases:


Dixie Elouise Adelaide Deschamps’
Perfectly Legal and Innocuous Kissing Cake
Miss Deschamps was always a bit of a sassy girl. She’d hang upside down on the monkey bars so that her shirt would fall a little on its own revealing a young girl’s blossoming chest or shirts a bit too racy for school. But she was a kind heart and good to her momma and poppa even though they got tired pretty quick with her little romantic antics with the boys and with the phone calls from school and even with the occasional call from the sheriff. When Dixie wasn’t getting in to trouble, she’d spend some of her time in the kitchen making some mean baked goods. And there was also the other things she’d do upstairs in her room with a candle and some herbs she’d gathered from the next door farmer’s field. But, to be honest, no one knew about those things. A few years ago, Dixie baked a particularly delicious cake for the county fair which stirred a bit of a ruckus. Anyone who ate even the smallest bite of the cake later felt flushed, woozy and a-bit-more-than-usual amoureux. You can better believe she swore all up, down and to the left and right that there was absolutely nothing unusual about her cake. It was made with old fashioned love and local ingredients, yessirree! But, again, there could have been a little something said over the oven when she was baking it and maybe a little something said over the pan before putting it in the oven and maybe a little something rubbed on the pan before pouring the cake batter in it. Of course, she would have never done anything harmful to the townsfolk. Only maybe a little something to loosen up their tight belts. And just because her initials were D-E-A-D, well, that didn’t mean anything.
Some of the finest, ripest strawberries, the fluffiest and sweetest angel cake, the creamiest butter cream frosting and some davana to make the experience unique.


Empress Ming Li Zho’s Sparkling Infusion for Happy Brightness
In a former life as a Zen monk some good 528 years ago or more, I lived in a very, very small region of China. It was a very lush and peaceful place that had a very, very dainty Empress to govern the land, which as I mentioned was very, very small and did not extend beyond the two mountains that cradled the valley of the region. Empress Ming Li Zho was an only child and her parents passed away when she was very young. Although she was raised by kind hearted people of the court, Empress Ming Li Zho missed her parents dearly and named a pair of red pandas after them. As she grew up, but not very much since she was very, very dainty and hence quite petite in size, she paid particular attention to other children who had also lost their parents (or other beloved things) and were having a difficult time smiling or knowing joy. She inquired with some local healers who sent her to the nearly coo-coo old man who did not live in a cave, but in a hole in the ground, who then sent her to talk to the yellow birds in the blue trees who, in turn, chirped a little song about happiness. The Empress translated a recipe from this song. It was the Sparkling Infusion for Happy Brightness. She shared it freely with all and sometimes used it herself on days when she felt she could use a little cheering up: a blend of two gingers, a few pressed leaves of mint and a very, very small piece of crushed lemongrass.

Frau Von Schtinklestein’s Partially Completed Barvarian Love Essence

Yes, it is true that Frau Von Schtinklestein never finished completing this recipe due to her unexpected passing with a bout of scurvy that her husband brought home with him after his long trip on the cold dark Arctic waters searching for the elusive Long-Haired Snowy Whale. In fact, she was creating this Love Essence as a means to keep him closer to home, instead of on the high seas that would hold on to him and his ship for months, sometimes years, at a time. While she did very much enjoy having the stone manor for herself, she found she would also be fraught with anxiety on odd numbered days with no one to tell her jokes to. Her three Guernsey cows never said much, but to chew their cud and the daisies in the garden. A young niece came across Mrs. Von Schtinklestein’s notes and decided to make this oil available anyway. Even if it worked halfway, it was better than not at all! A dessert lovingly made for two: pears poached in vanilla and then caramelized in brown sugar.

Madame Pompidou’s Elixir Secret pour les Maladies et Crises du Coeur
Passed on to me by my great, great grandmother whom I have never met, Madame Soupiron, this recipe was perfected by the grand Madame Pompidou in 1762. Although believed by the world and French men to be only available to very high class French ladies, in fact all French women have been using this not so secret (to French women, that is) elixir for ages, even prior to the perfected formulation by Mme. Pompidou. This oil is used for any sort of woes of the heart or spirit such as results from tripping in public places, bouchers who sell you the wrong cut of meat, mail that is damaged by the mice in your courier box, any day that ends by being qualifiably described as en merdant, being jilted by a so-called friend or lover or simply getting a hole in one’s stockings or breaking the laces in your corset. Chocolate, mousse au chocolat, various friandises au chocolat and any singular or mix of cordials or liquers remaining in the cabinet in the pantry that you have not already finished off. This fabuleux cure-all will brush all your malaises and crises away!
