The notes grow bold

Posted by Robin on 13 August 2008 4 Comments

At first dab, Ellie is barely noticeable. But within seconds, the notes grow bold as it mixes with a person's pheromones. On a late summer afternoon, the scent caught the attention of Jill Ostrow, who was enjoying a snack at a Chicago cafe. "I have an overly sensitive nose, and I don't like most scents," Ostrow said before taking Dunne's card. "But this I really like. It's light. It smells fresh. It's like it belongs on me."

— From Small-batch, big-passion scent (link no longer active, sorry!) an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about Ellie D's Ellie perfume.

    Wow! Jessica has not gotten anywhere near the return on her investment. Bless her for her vision and passion in creating these two lovely fragrances.

    Hugs!

    It depends if you put a price on roi. For those of us who love ellie, she has made our world a more fragrant place.

    Some things you do for love, some things you do for money, and if you are lucky what you love brings you money.

    R, no, she hasn't. I think it must be very hard to sell extrait — do wish these were in EdP.
