As a longtime Ruddy fan, I've always eyed up the customs page. I finally pulled the trigger to create a character in honor of my kitten, Hamilton, who passed away rather suddenly. Jimmy took my ideas and surpassed my already high expectations. I had my heart set on cherry and oud, to which Jimmy was very interested. The tester oils he sent were fantastic; one being more cherry forward and the other a more balanced, with the oud playing a bigger role (ultimately making the cut to become Nemesis). Chassta's artwork was wonderful; I had the idea of a Victorian-era villain, or a turn of the century newsboy, and the result was something that not only had I not expected, but exceeded any hopes I could've had. Throughout the process, Jimmy surprised me with a cheeky little Key and Peele reference in the scent description (later discovered he and i share a fondness for their comedy). I cannot recommend this process enough. The fact that you can customize your finished set tailored to products you'll actually use, along with a VERY high quality art print is just the cherry on top (absolutely no pun intended). Jimmy and Chassta are fantastic people and will ensure that you are satisfied with your beast. The first of many to come for me! Thank you both so much for commemorating my baby in such a unique and special way.
