I'm going to update the recipe post with your use of egg replacer, etc. for other vegans that might want to try it.<br />Ruby chocolate is incredible stuff. I was pretty blown away by it, and I'm not really a flavoured chocolate kind of person. <br />We have a birch tree nearby-do you think the neighbours will call the fuzz if I go have a sniff:)<br />It could be the bergamot, though in my brain that's more Earl Grey (which I loathe drinking but don't mind the smell of). I never underestimate the nose/brain ability to make connections. <br /><br />@Bibi<br />Sanka-because the social pressure to have after-dinner coffee in the 70s was so strong you'd drink just about anything to fit in. Remember Potsum (which I always call Potsdam in my head)?<br />It could be the bergamot, but I never felt so strongly about it in things like Shalimar. <br /><br />@Beth<br />My furs all smell like the mothballs previous owners filled the pockets with!<br />I bought a small bottle of Antilope on your suggestion. I like it, but haven't given it enough wears for a review. That's something I should do, so thanks for the reminder. <br /><br />@Ann<br />Thank you. Do try the chocolate-if only for a few minutes it does provide a really pleasant experience. We can all use a bit of enjoyment at this point. We have a brand called Chocolove that's fair trade, etc. and they make just exquisite candy. Worth every penny. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />Don't say I didn't warn you about the chocolate-it is addictive. Unlike regular chocolate I find I'm able to eat it in quantity!<br /><br />@Beate<br />Thank you.<br />It definitely isn't worth the money, but if you can get small samples inexpensively, that's the way to go. So often you're paying for a fancy bottle, not the perfume. <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-54121114861704007082020-09-25T09:18:16.544-07:002020-09-25T09:18:16.544-07:00smellin´like a woodsy mountain under 2m of powdery...smellin´like a woodsy mountain under 2m of powdery snow sounds like absolute heaven to me!!! its my natural environment.<br />but a perfume that knocks you out first, only to disapear into thin air an hour later is not worth its money.......<br />love the text!! very much!<br />xxxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-54769391889480213812020-09-25T07:52:23.305-07:002020-09-25T07:52:23.305-07:00Fab review!

"Cheap, orange pekoe like...you used to get in restaurants across America in the 70s...brewed with just tepid water." I can taste the disappointment even now.<br /><br />As for straight-on pine considered as a suitable fragrance to wear with woolens? I'd rather imagine my outerwear as furs (Fear not, the ancestral mink stole served as a posh pad in the bed of a 20-year-old cat) and wear Antilope by Weil. Or maybe 4711? Something one could spray on a frozen bathroom window and anticipate a porthole for peering into a frozen landscape?<br /><br />Love the pix of the waving bear!

Greylocke is in stock at Sephora.Sephora lists the notes as: <br />"This refreshingly woodsy scent hails from New England’s coast: think pine trees, birch leaves, and ocean air. It does so with notes of sea salt, bergamot, birch leaf, silver vetiver, and pine resin. It was also named one of the best fragrances of all time by Allure." <br />I wonder if Phlur's bergamot is the floral note you like so much?<br /><br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-43208295580938961112020-09-23T19:04:06.659-07:002020-09-23T19:04:06.659-07:00P.S.

Someone who reviewed Greylocke at Fragrantica.com three years ago kindly copied and pasted the note list from Phlur.com: <br /><br />"Sea salt, bergamot, birch leaf, silver vetiver, pine resin, grapefruit, lily of the valley, woody notes, amber, white floral, cedar, citrus, herbal/green notes, violet."<br /><br />So that orange pekoe note you were getting was probably the bergamot and the grapefruit. <br />Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-40790579060372537662020-09-23T18:28:26.272-07:002020-09-23T18:28:26.272-07:00Wow, what a great review!
Back when Phlur still...Wow, what a great review! <br /><br />Back when Phlur still sold Greylocke, their website said that one of the official notes was birch leaf. And overall, the scent was supposed to evoke the smell of the New England coast plus the forest. Hence the cold, salty, damp sea smell, plus the pine. They certainly succeeded in that regard. I suppose their other, implicit goal in creating Greylocke was to create a scent that was the total opposite of Moab, which was their dry, hot desert-themed scent from the West. <br /><br /><br />I must have been living under a rock all this time, because I hadn't heard of ruby chocolate. I promptly looked it up on Wikipedia, and now I want to try it. <br /><br />I'm eating a runza right now. It is SOOOO good. I veganized mine by using chia seeds instead of eggs, Earth Balance sticks instead of butter, and unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk. And of course I used vegan ground "beef." Gimme Lean wasn't available at the stores near me, so I used a different brand. <br /><br />The bread is unbelievably fluffy. I can see why people love this. It's amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe.Emilynoreply@blogger.com
