Design survey result and scented (or smelly) animals...

Dear all,

I am reaching out with my 9th newsletter, with some good news and progress about LIMEN. You can find all the past newsletters here, please share and comment!

2 weeks ago I asked for your feedback on the design of the diffuser. We could not decide which model we liked the most and therefore we let you decide!

The poll lasted 1 week only, but I was honestly overwhelmed by the amount of votes and feedback.

And the winner is:

🎉 Model n. 2 🎉

LIMEN Perfume diffuser

In total, 114 people casted their votes and gave us feedback: model n. 2 won with 50 votes, followed by model n. 3 with 41 votes.

I wish to thank each and every person that took time to vote! 

We received more than 100 answers, with a lot of valuable and helpful feedback!!! And If you have ever done a survey, you know how tough it usually is to get to this amount of answers, it may seem like a small number but it is not at all!

Thank you!!! Grazie!!!

LIMEN needs… 

• We need more of your feedback: we are going to implement the design of the diffuser and soon will ask your opinion again about colors and details.

• Support us on social media, follow us and share pleaseee!!!

Now, some inspiration and facts from the fragrance world:

A small quiz: musk is one of the most common base notes in perfumes, but 

Where does musk come from? 

Write your guess in the comment…

Perfume ingredients come from 3 sources:

• Plant sources: these aromatic compounds come from flowers, bark, leaves, fruits, seeds or woods.

• Animal sources: these ingredients are obtained from animal glands and secretions. Some examples: Ambergris comes from the intestine of sperm whales; Castoreum comes from anal secretion of the beaver; Civet comes from the perineal gland of a civet… Crazy right?!? These ingredients have been used for centuries, fortunately nowaday there are more sustainable ways to get these aromatic compounds without harming these wonderful creatures, and I am talking of synthetic molecules. 

• Synthetic sources: these are compounds that recall natural or animal ingredients or scents that do not exist in nature. They are made through chemical synthesis, are safe for humans, animals and the environment, and most of the time are more sustainable than the “natural” ingredients. They are widely used in most perfumes.
