champaca absolute,

frangipani,

grapefruit,

lime,

linden blossom absolute,

melissa absolute,

mimosa absolute,

myrrh,

neroli absolute,

spearmint,

spikenard,

tagette,

tuberose absolute,

 

 

okay a few of these are not expensive and we can get them easily over

the next month or two those are

fennel, lime, and spearmint from butch. i'll look into the others.

also, if i can find some of those - NOT as absolutes would you like

that? i'll post some info in a few about how absolutes are produced,

but they use a petrolchemical solvent in most cases that can have

hexane residue left in the final product , but some plants are

only absolutes, like tuberose. that is where CO2's are coming into

play these days, a lot of precious plants are able to be CO2

extracted. i'll do a whole thing about extraction methods in a bit

for everyone

also i'll see if i can get real enfleurage! $$$$ but so are the

absolutes and if we can get a cleaner product the better.

also sarah, i still have you jasmine in mind too, many of them

contain more alcohol than your drink at the bar

not to my knowledge it doesn't go bad - it may not be the same shape

as when you stored it *lol* ;)michele is our resident wax expert, but

she's on vacation, how dare she!
