January Scent Project thoughts and musings.

 

Trunk Show: Tigerlily Perfumery, San Francisco, Friday 8th July 4-7 pm

John Biebel

Please join me and fellow perfumer Jessica Hannah of J.HannahCo for an evening Trunk Show at Tigerlily Perfumery in the Mission District, San Francisco, CA as we debut our perfumes at our new retail establishment, meet and greet guest, and promote new projects. 

There will be cocktails served, and great opportunities to smell many of the great creations that Tigerlily carries, including Imaginary Authors, Cognoscenti, Bruno Fassolari, DSH Perfumes, Dame Perfumery, Andy Tauer, and many others. I'm excited to be part of the Tigerlily family, and hope that I'll see you there. If you are in the San Francisco area this coming weekend, be sure to stop by.

Saturday will also mark the latest creation from January Scent Project. It's not yet available, but there'll be samples for those who can join us at Tigerlily. Look here for more information in the upcoming weeks about Vaporocindro.

New Scent in the Works for Trunk Show at Tigerlily Perfumery, Saturday July 8th in San Francisco

John Biebel

I'm excited to announce two happenings: First, I'll be doing a trunk show at Tigerlily Perfumery in San Francisco on Saturday, July 8th, along with perfumer Jessica Hannah. This will be my first event with Tigerlily, and it will be a great opportunity to meet folks from that great neighborhood, and to talk with them about the January Scent Project perfumes. 

I'm also very happy to be unveiling a perfume that is currently in progress for the event at Tigerlily. It as yet doesn't have a name, and it may not be complete before the event, but I'll still be sharing the progress. I can say a few things about the scent so far. It's a dive into the world of floral scents that I've previously not explored, so it is a new and fascinating territory.

Its primary notes so far are lilac, coconut milk, and turmeric, but it is evolving, so they may shift, but seems to be at the heart of this perfume. Heart is a good word to use since the scent is very heavy in the middle notes - another new innovation for me as I tend to love dwelling in the base.

I'll be sending out more info shortly about the upcoming show at Tigerlily, and I hope to see you there!

There have been some amazing reviews, profiles, and stories about January Scent Project in the past two months, and I wanted to share all these fantastic links. I'm fortunate that the work in perfume has captured the attention and study of writers online, and thereby helping to create more conversations about the perfumes. Please take a visit at these interesting destinations where the perfumes and the process are discussed in detail:
