And in Particular About: Perfume Paradise
Tempest Javid, master-perfumer, returns to the family cottage to begin a new life. Sam Bennett, single-dad, is on vacation with his pre-teen daughter. While his daughter strikes up a friendship with Tempest. Sam is worried his daughter will become too attached and be hurt. But after spending time with the beautiful perfumer, Sam realizes he may be the one headed for heart-break.
Behind the Scenes with Connie Vines:
While I am a writer, novelist, and retired educator, I also have a background in perfuming. While I am not a master-perfumer (a ‘nose’) like Tempest in my short-short story, Paradise Perfume, or Persia Richmond in Gumbo Ya Ya, my upcoming release by BWL Publishing, I was employed by a perfumery as a fragrance consultant. I tested the PH levels of each of client, selected fragrances, and discussed the notes and the impression of each fragrance (signature). The proper way to ‘wear’ and store perfumes, etc.

ReplyDeleteI've been curious about making perfume. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting about your perfume experience, Connie! I've always thought the concept of being a "nose" was interesting, whether it is perfume or chocolate or wine! Great story too!
ReplyDeleteA lovely spotlight for #LastChanceBeach...thanks so much. And I love the idea of Perfume Paradise. When I was a child there was a theory that floated around that if you put tea in a glass and let it sit for days, it would turn to perfume. (It didn't)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your story!
