Controversy Swirls Around Essense CCO (Chief Canine Officer) Over Stock-Holders' Reallocated Assets:

Ruggles feels remorse...
“I deeply regret any harm I have caused by the reallocation of my Essense customers' assets,”  confesses a remorseful Ruggles, the CCO (Chief Canine Officer).  “These were particularly gracious and lovely customers,” admits Ruggles, “and I never should have reallocated their valuable resources to myself while nobody was looking.”

The Essense CCO of just over 3 years goes on to explain “that bacon cream cheese bagel hiding in that beautiful woman’s purse smelled even more scrumptious than any perfume my customers were creating in the Essense Parfumerie.”

It seems the highest officer of the company stole the wrapped bacon-cream cheese bagel right out an unsuspecting customer's purse last Saturday night while she and her sisters sat at the Essense Apothecary Perfume Bar, creating some fabulous and exotically extraordinary fragrances, which can sometimes take an hour or two.  The attractive teal-colored purse was left open and unguarded on the oriental-carpeted maple floor in the Essense Barn. Fortunately, no other items, including wallet, phone or car keys were absconded with.  The only reallocated asset appeared to be a half-eaten bagel, entirely devoid of it’s bacon-cream cheese filling.  The remains of the missing bagel were found later, not far from the couch, the sight of the original bungled bagel-burglary.

The fun-loving Essense customers took quite a liking to Ruggles, the Essense CCO.  In fact, they commended him on his acute powers of observation, his keen sense of smell, and his due diligence in uncovering such a delicious snack, hidden away for later consumption.  “He worked very hard in unwrapping and reallocating that bagel,” the customers’ guffawed.  They will not be pressing charges, and Essense hopes that Ruggles the CCO, will be more observant of corporate rules and regulations in the future.

When questioned for further explanation on his behavior, Ruggles asks with incredulity, “Have you forgotten I’m a rescue-poodle from Providence’s Smith Hill, and I survived my childhood by foraging bits of bagel and donuts from the bags and wrappings left in a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot? Besides, it's my belief that friends buy you lunch, but BEST friends, eat your lunch!"

    Tamsan & Ruggles

    Tamsan is a practicing perfumer of 34 years. She graduated with a triple-major, interdisciplinary Master's Degree from the prestigious Behavioral Science and Human Development Department at The University of Chicago. Tamsan developed original ideas about creativity, solitude, and "flow" activities while studying under the mentorship of the late, beloved Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of the seminal work: "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience." Dr. Csikszentmihalyi was the world's leading researcher on on Positive Psychology. Tamsan believes that making perfume is science, art, and magic, because the creation of a new scent is a "flow" experience. Because the sense of smell is closely linked to both memory and emotion, the art and science of perfume is very psychological, sociological, and anthropological. A life time member of the High IQ Societies American Mensa; and Mensa International; Tamsan is a 2024 inductee of "Who's Who." Ruggles is a sidewalk social scientist as well; a rescue-poodle with enigmatic urban, feral origins. Abandoned on city streets and left to starve, Ruggles has a Master's Degree from The School of Life, but he's a philosophical-poodle who's maintained a very good sense of humor. Both are relocated from major urban centers. For  50+ years, Tamsan lived in the cities of: Chicago, St. Paul, Manhattan, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Providence, and San Diego. Together, they now blog about life's sensory and fragrant spectacles from more bucolic surroundings in NH. More specifically, Tamsan blogs about olfactory mysteries and miracles; Ruggles prefers to comment on anything edible or odoriferous. Addendum: RIP Ruggles (2008-June 29, 2024) Tamsan, Essense, and many Essense customers will miss you forever. 💔💜💔

 "I love that you take the ancient and the spiritual and put it in a bottle. That is way too cool!
I just love these rare and magic things, it doesn’t get better than this. Tamsan is a divine alchemist."
