The Smells of Fall

Debbie and I are in the process of creating our new fall fragrances. How can you think of fall when we are in the middle of summer, you may ask? Well in our business as well as any other you are always thinking ahead. And I love to think ahead about fall since it is my favorite season of the year. Fall to me invokes so many memories and now I know why thanks to the study of aromachology (you can find out more about this on our website). Even though my first day of school was more than 60 years ago I will never forget the smell of that big round red lead pencil and the paper with the green lines for us to write on and the big fat Crayola's that we used for art. And then there are the smells from the county fair: cotton candy, funnel cakes and of course corn dogs. And as we sit with friends and watch our favorite college football team play on Saturday (ours being the TENNESSEE VOLS.) I think the smells of fall are more intense or our senses are more in tune to them when we look at the yellow, brown and red color from the changing leaves against that beautiful blue autumn sky and of course we can't forget that first smell of wood burning as we lite our fireplaces for the first fire of the season.

So these are some of the reasons we are thinking about fall and what new fragrances we will come up with for your enjoyment. Of course we will keep the old favorites such as candy corn, pumpkin spice and apple jack peel. We also love to get suggestions from our customers. The other day we got a request for clove, just clove. So we did a candle in clove and shipped it out. It always makes us happy to be able to fulfill a special request so please feel free to ask for your favorite fragrance and let it take you back to a wonderful memory.
