Ever since I saw what was titled a "scent strip holder" in Mandy Aftel's
Scents & Sensibilities I've been on the hunt for one. I Googled, went to
Brockihauser and kept an eye out for anything that looked like a silver ball with legs sticking up out of it. Finally, I wrote to Aftel's business to enquire about the holder: The assistant was nice enough to write back, telling me that she didn't know exactly where Aftel had gotten the holder from, but it wasn't a scent strip holder, it was a plain ol' memo holder.
Did some more Googling for a metal memo holder (used the "images" tab) and, lo and behold, I found the same one that was in the book. It's "Sputnik." Woohoo.
Another recent purchase is that burner you see in the second photo: It's actually a small fondue burner that one can use a tea light candle, Brennpaste or Brenn-Spirtus with. I plan on using this to melt beeswax for solid perfumes. The other fondue burner I have smells like cheese.
Not good for blending.
