Tetu eau de parfum was created for the Summer of Love Patchouli Project 2011.? Monica Miller at the Perfume Pharmer created this fun project.

I began to assemble my 25% patchouli requirement in a bottle.? I had some awesome vintage dark patchouli and also some light patchouli that play well together so I put them in the bottle to take a twirl…interesting. ? So what next?

I began to pick up bottle after bottle, a drop here a drop there…smoky, sensuous rose, sultry jasmine, sexy misc. amber notes, and then morph..Oh gourmand notes…cocoas absolute, vanilla absolute, wild orange, sweet orange, butter, bergamot, nutmeg, and star anise.

Then it felt done…24 essential oils and absolutes in all.? It has quite a journey through smoke, floral, sexy, and gourmand to a powdery amber drydown…on my skin that is.

Tetu means stubborn in French.? With 9 base notes she does persist..she lasts and lasts.? What a headstrong passionate thing she is!? Get your Tetu at my Etsy site at this link. http://www.etsy.com/shop/joannebassett
