@phoenixandbeau any news or updates on how you are getting on would be appreciated
Cheers, Burry
Absolutely and sorry for not keeping you all in the loop. In essence I'm unhappy with all iterations to date and unless I can nail it I won't be releasing the LE. I'm giving myself until the end of the month in order to find a further version I'm happy enough with to send to @Nishy. I'll keep you all posted, Gents.

Have an excellent weekend, everyone.

Kerry.

Thanks for the info - I'm keeping my fingers crossed it works out. I think you are absolutely right to only release it if you are happy with it.

I'm with you on this decision Kerry, if we can't work out the shisha scent can we do a complete u-turn and go for a Badedas type scent?

Shisha you say? Do tell! Having sampled many different ones in Egypt, it'd be good to know if there is a comparable scent I can try and visualise :)

This is the hard thing Nick. I honestly could not give you something very similar. When you have experienced apple shisha I am looking to emulate that light smoke but with a sour apple. Traditionally red hot coconut shells were used instead of coal to give a cleaner flavour and when in a shisha room the oud is also prevalent so a mix of all these elements. I have sent Kerry samples if Prof Blighty Grapewood, providing an example of maximum 'sweetness', TF Oud Wood oil by PP and a couple of others I think.

@phoenixandbeau Its a classic bath and shower cream from 70's thats still available today. Its now owned by unilever and their sites reports it as.
A unique range of premium bath and shower products containing horse chestnut, that enriches Badedas with its distinctive fragrance.

Created with natural plant extracts for a truly luxurious bathing experience.

It used to have these provocative advertisements all roughly the same a woman with her towel loosely draped around her waist and a man approaching from the distance. Finished off with the catchphrase
"things happen after a Badedas bath!" Lol

From my search of notes I found the most common being reported as

Leafy green, basil, citrus, musk and amber

Right gentleman, I'm going to have to let you all down and draw a line under Scimitar. I'm not getting close enough to Avnish's brief and if I'm not happy with it, it won't go out.

Sorry to let you all down.

@Nishy what is Badedas, please?

Kindest regards,

Kerry.
No worries Kerry, thank you for trying. I'll send you some Badedas and let me know what you think :)
It's an absolutely lovely fougere.
