Fragrance Formulator: Southwest Region Scents

Inspiration: Hot, dry air makes for a beautifully unique climate here in the southwest. You can begin, fuel or end your day eating the sweet, pillowy pastry known as Sopapilla. Today we begin with it and wash it down with water to hydrate for a day of desert exploring. Grab a hat and some sunglasses before stepping out into the southwest sun. The light smell of blue bonnet flowers brightens this beautiful, but hot day. As you enter the desert, colors of red, rust and copper fill the horizon and the warming smell of desert sand is always present. Cactus and wild aloe add some green to this red landscape, while the mild smell of ripe cactus flower fills the air. The breathtaking views found in the southwest are worth it, but you will definitely need to cool off and unwind after. A prickly pear makes for a perfect refreshment, but if you really want to unwind, a tequila-heavy margarita is the way to go in the southwest! Finish off the evening by watching a hot air balloon float across the cloudless horizon just as the sun sets. Scent Blends:
